Chemical Strengthening
tempering.
Glazing and poli9shing
can get rid of flaws - whenever you grind, polish.
Chemical strengthening
larger ions with glass
Preventing stress corrosion cracking
all undergo. This is weakening. Some cements inhibit H20 a bit.
When a crack opens up, water gets
in, reacts with glass surface, keeps crack cracking.
Make ceramics thicker, stronger to
counter stress issues.
Silica vs not-silica
cement differently
More crystals =
more opaque
Wear studies on zirconium:
wear does not equal hardness. Wear related to roughness.
Zirconia never
unpolishes. Maybe something happening to joints? Teeth do eventually have wear facets.
zirconia is milled in
chalk state.
in chalk state you can
dye and paint
Zirconia problem:
removing them.
