Scientists from the Institute of Metallurgical and Material Studies. AA Baikova Ras and Chemistry Institute “Komi Science Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences” created solid solutions (Ti₁₋ₓzrₓ) with a zirconium content of 10% and 15%.
The tests have shown that zirconium addition increases hardness between 3.9 to 6.8 GPA and bending strength between 314 to 487 MPa at room temperature. It is important that alloy ceramics keep ductility for longer heating -a 15% zirconium sample protects 64% of the power even at 1600 ° C
New ceramics exceed ordinary maximum fractions in mechanical properties at temperatures above 1200 ° C.
Researchers say that Ti₃sic₂ Zirconia alloy has caused high -temperature materials for the energy, transportation, aviation and defense industry.
