Mechanical materials are roughly classified into three types, metallic materials, nonmetallic materials, and composite materials. Among them, zirconia is a kind of ceramics which is a nonmetallic inorganic material. Zirconia has some excellent properties, and it is known to be particularly excellent in mechanical strength, for that reason, it is often used as a structure. At present, zirconia is used as an optical communication component, various nozzles, crown materials, it is estimated that its use in medical applications will be expanded in the future. However, it can’t be said that the preparation process is completely controlled, and further improvement of mechanical properties is expected from now on by completely controlling.
