Silicon zirconium has corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, so it can be used for implantation in the body. In medicine, the v-plus glass made of Z-silicon zirconium can be made into a knee joint or hip joint implant. The silicon-zirconium material can reduce friction.
Increased wear resistance while maintaining overall performance (manufacturability, fracture toughness, and ductility) provides a good solution for medical implants. After the end of the Cold War, Russia’s demand for zirconium decreased, and silicon zirconium was used to produce household zirconium products.
