Zirconia Toughened Alumina | Al2O3/ZrO2
Zirconia Toughened Alumina has improved bending strength and higher reflectivity than alumina and AlN. These qualities combined with good heat dissipation means that they are ideal for LED package and power module for automotive and sustainable energy technologies.
