Apple will create an iPhone primarily from ZrO2 - Zirconian Ceramics The journey Apple has taken to adopt Zirconia Ceramic as the their fundamental design material translates like an epic movie plot. We will begin at the end. The Case For (of) Zirconia Zirconia ceramics are structured in a martensite-type transformation mechanism of stress induction. This provides the ability to absorb highest amounts of stress relative to other ceramic materials including: AluminaAluminum NitrideBoron CarbideBoron NitrideCordieriteGraphiteMulliteSapphireSilicon CarbideSilicon NitrideSteatiteTitanium DiborideTungsten Carbide Zirconia ceramics exhibits the highest mechanical strength and toughness at room temperature. Zirconium ceramics have the highest fracture toughness of any advanced technical ceramic. Its toughness, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance make it ideal for high pressure applications. Common industrial applications include extrusion dies, wire and pipe extension...
