Fields of application for technical ceramics
Technical ceramics such as zirconia are widely used in demanding fields including nuclear industry, aerospace, advanced technologies, and medical implants. Their high resistance to heat and corrosion makes them particularly suitable for extreme environments.
For manufacturers, understanding how these materials behave at high temperature is essential, especially to control phase transitions that directly impact performance and reliability.
Techniques for phase transition study
Thermal behavior of technical ceramics is commonly studied using DSC up to 1000 °C, while DTA is preferred at higher temperatures. In this work, zirconia phase transitions were measured using the Themys thermal analyzer equipped with tri-couple DTA sensors.
These sensors use three thermocouple junctions under each crucible, improving heat collection and reducing radiative effects. This design significantly increases sensitivity, enabling more accurate phase transition measurements at high temperature.
