What is zirconia powder?
A powder which consists of 80% zirconia powder and 20% binding powder. A black color treatment is then applied, achieving a matte black surface.

How does it become hardened?
Over a period of three days, separate components are heated to 1500°C and then allowed to cool down. Once complete, each component consist of 100% zirconia ceramic and will have a hardness of 1200HV (5 times greater than any stainless steel).

How is the final surface accomplished?
A final grinding phase gives the components their final dimension. In order to achieve the required tolerances, special diamond grinding tools are used during this process. Because the ceramic material is extremely hard, the grinding process is very time consuming.

Finishing
Sandblasting is the final touch, giving a perfect, smooth appearance to the matte surface.
