Ngokumalunga nobukhulu kunye nomxholo ococekileyo we-aluminium oxide, i-aluminium oxide ceramic yeyona ceramic ixhaphakileyo yobugcisa. I-aluminiyam oxide, ekwabizwa ngokuba yiAlumina, ifanele ibe yeyeramic yokuqala umyili ayijongayo ukuba ucinga ngokusebenzisa iiseramikhi endaweni yesinyithi okanye ukuba iintsimbi azinakusetyenziswa ngenxa yobushushu obuphezulu, iikhemikhali, umbane, okanye ukuguga. Ixabiso lezinto eziphathekayo emva kokuba lixoshiwe aliphezulu kakhulu, kodwa ukuba ukunyamezela okuchanekileyo kuyadingeka, ukugaywa kwedayimane kunye nokupholisa kuyadingeka, oko kunokongeza iindleko ezininzi kwaye yenze inxalenye ebiza kakhulu kunenxalenye yentsimbi. Ugcino lunokuvela kumjikelo wobomi obude okanye ixesha elincinane ekufuneka isixokelelwano sithathwe ngaphandle kweintanethi ukuze silungiswe okanye sitshintshwe. Ewe, ezinye iziyilo azinakusebenza kwaphela ukuba zixhomekeke kwisinyithi ngenxa yokusingqongileyo okanye iimfuno zesicelo.
Zonke iiseramics kunokwenzeka ukuba ziphuke kunezinye iintsimbi ezininzi, nto leyo umyili kufuneka acinge ngayo. Ukuba ufumanisa ukuba iAlumina ilula ukuyicofa okanye iqhekeze kwisicelo sakho, iZirconium oxide ceramic, ekwabizwa ngokuba yiZirconia, iya kuba yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokujonga kuyo. Kwakhona kunzima kakhulu kwaye kuxhathisa ukunxiba. I-Zirconia yomelele kakhulu ngenxa yesakhiwo sayo esikhethekileyo sekristale ye-tetragonal, edla ngokuxutywa kunye neYttria. Iinkozo ezincinci zeZirconia zenza ukuba abaqulunqi benze iinkcukacha ezincinci kunye nemiphetho ebukhali enokuthi ikwazi ukumelana nokusetyenziswa kakubi.
Zombini ezi zixhobo zivunyiweyo ukuba zisetyenziswe kwezonyango nakumzimba kunye nokusetyenziswa okuninzi kwimizi-mveliso. Abaqulunqi beendawo ze-ceramic ezisetyenziselwa unyango, i-aerospace, i-semiconductor, i-instrumentation, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwemizi-mveliso banomdla kubuchwephesha bethu bokwenza izinto ezichanekileyo.
