Slip Containing Zirconium Dioxide and Aluminum Oxide and Shaped Body Obtainable Therefrom

Abstract

Slip containing at least one aluminium oxide powder and at least one unstabilized zirconium dioxide powder, wherein a) the zirconium dioxide powder i) has a mean particle diameter of less than 300 nm, ii) shows only the monoclinic phase and the tetragonal phase in the X-ray diffraction pattern, with the proportion of tetragonal phase at room temperature being from 20 to 70%, and iii) is present in a proportion of from 2 to 20% by weight, based on the total amount of the slip, b) the aluminium oxide powder i) has a mean particle diameter of more than 300 nm and ii) is present in a proportion of from 80 to 98% by weight, based on the total amount of the slip, and c) the solids content, as the sum of aluminium oxide and zirconium dioxide, is from 50 to 85% by weight, based on the total amount of the slip.
