Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia YSZ (ZrO2-Y2O3)-Powder
Product Description
Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is a ceramic in which the cubic crystal structure of zirconium dioxide is made stable at room temperature by an addition of yttrium oxide. These oxides are commonly called "zirconia" (ZrO2) and "yttria" (Y2O3).
Among all ceramic oxide materials, tetragonal zirconia stabilized with the addition of 3mol% Y2O3 (Y-TZP) exhibits at room temperature the highest performance in terms of:
Bending strength
Toughness
Application
Tetragonal zirconia also enables the manufacturing of ceramic parts with:
Excellent surface finishing
Superior wear resistance
Outstanding corrosion resistance
