Abstract: The use of zirconia-based ceramic materials as smpport materidls for superconducting magnets and in cryopenic engineeriny generally has been considered. The relationship between compsition and mechanical properties at cryogenic temperature has also been investigated.

Key words: structural material, superconducting magnet, ceramic, fracture toughness
