Zirconia

Electrically insulating, good corrosion resistance, relatively low operating temperature (1000 C), structural ceramics, good mechanical characteristics, e-module similar to steel (bonding and coatings possible), thermal expansion similar to steel, low thermal conductivity (heat insulator), improved impact resistance, good thermal shock resistance, low specific weight.
