Abstract
Metal-coated zirconia articles have at least one surface that is a surface-treated surface. The surface-treated surface is a phosphate-treated surface. At least a portion of the surface-treated surface is covered with a layer of metal. The metal covering adheres more strongly to the surface-treated surface than to an identical surface that is not surface-treated.
