note = "Ceramic-on-ceramic bearings (ALX: pure alumina) have been used for human hip joints for almost 40 years. However an alumina matrix composite with zirconia (AMC) was introduced in year 2000 as a high-strength ceramic with almost double the fatigue resistance (AMC = 80.5\%ALZ and 18vol\% ZrO2).",
