Zirconium oxide (ZrO2), also known as zirconia, is a durable and versatile advanced ceramic with exceptional hardness, strength, and chemical stability. It is used in various demanding applications like high-temperature refractories, dental and orthopedic implants, cutting tools, and as a white pigment. When combined with other oxides like yttrium oxide, it can be stabilized to maintain its structure and properties across a wide temperature range.
Key properties
- Chemical: Highly stable and resistant to chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and molten metals.
- Mechanical: Extremely hard (greater than 9 Mohs) and has high strength, making it ideal for wear-resistant applications.
- Thermal: Very high melting point (2715∘𝐶) and good thermal insulation properties.
- Electrical: A poor conductor of electricity, though it can conduct oxygen ions at high temperatures.
- Biocompatibility: Bio-inert, with high biocompatibility, making it suitable for medical implants.
Very cool! Do you notice at all the differences in size/dimensions between the two cases
The only appreciable difference is that the OC has slightly thinner hands and dots. But that doesn’t affect legibility because the lume is equally strong. It might be a little more elegant for this reason. The small difference in case size is not appreciable, completely negligible.
Thank you!
They are the same and yet completely different in feel. It’s a very pleasant experience to shift between them within my random watch rotation.
