2. Cubic zirconia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_zirconia

   In 1977, cubic zirconia began to be mass-produced in the jewelry marketplace by the Ceres Corporation, with crystals stabilized with 94% yttria. Other major producers as of 1993 include Taiwan Crystal Company Ltd , Swarovski and ICT inc. [ 8 ] [ 5 ] By 1980, annual global production had reached 60 million carats (12 tonnes) and continued to ...

This state of zirconia is commonly called cubic zirconia, CZ, or zircon by jewellers, but the last ...

5. Zirconium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium

   The most common oxide is zirconium dioxide, ZrO 2, also known as zirconia. This clear to white-coloured solid has exceptional fracture toughness (for a ceramic) and chemical resistance, especially in its cubic form. [37] These properties make zirconia useful as a thermal barrier coating, [38] although it is also a common diamond substitute. [37]

6. Zirconium alloys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium_alloys

   This oxidized zirconium alloy material provides the beneficial surface properties of a ceramic (reduced friction and increased abrasion resistance), while retaining the beneficial bulk properties of the underlying metal (manufacturability, fracture toughness, and ductility), providing a good solution for these medical implant applications.
