Ceramic injection moulded zirconia products enjoy success in high-value luxury applications

摘要

Coloured zirconia ceramics can be produced by the CIM process, yielding entirely dense sintered materials that are highly suited to high gloss polishing. As Johan ter Maat and colleagues from BASF SE explain, these materials have succeeded in attracting the attention of luxury goods producers. From watches and mobile phones to writing instruments and automotive interiors, the authors present some striking examples of the possibilities of injection moulded zirconia ceramics.
