Objetivo The project is directed to the development of new ceramic forming processes for complex and highly reliable ceramic parts used in several applications. Especially in biomedical applications, i.e. complex joints, there is no satisfying solution available up to date. Therefore the problem solving approach is related to the development of an ankle joint prosthesis system with a ceramic/ceramic wear couple . This extremely complex joint system has been selected since extremely high strength ceramics with more than 1000 MPa are required. The results can be transferred to other joints, like knee, finger and foot. Furthermore the results obtained in this project may be transferred to other industrial sectors like automative industry, either to be used as wear parts or even as cutting tools under dry operations, taking into account the environmental aspect and to avoid lubricants.
