Advanced ceramic materials synthesis

Research studies have resulted in the development of an oxygen‐deficient zirconia material modified in a novel way to make it thermally stable and inert to molten titanium. It is possible to melt titanium in crucibles of this material with no significant increase in hardness. However, limitations regarding overheating and soaking must be taken into account.
