Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Ceramic Material Machining

Macor Machinable Glass Ceramic Material Machining

Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) is a high-performance ceramic material known for its exceptional fracture toughness, high strength, and ionic conductivity. These characteristics make it ideal for demanding environments, though its machining requires specialized approaches due to its hardness and brittleness. Key machining aspects include:

  • Cutting: Diamond-coated tools or precision laser cutting are employed to maintain edge integrity and minimize microcracking.
  • Grinding: Fine-grit diamond grinding is used to achieve tight tolerances and smooth surfaces, especially for components with complex geometries.
  • Drilling: Ultrasonic machining or precision diamond drilling enables accurate formation of micro-features for sensor and fuel cell applications.
  • Surface Finishing: Polishing enhances wear resistance, biocompatibility, and thermal stability, making it suitable for advanced engineering uses.

Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Ceramic Packaging

Yttria stabilized zirconia ceramic products are typically packaged in vacuum-sealed bags to prevent moisture or contamination and wrapped with foam to cushion vibrations and impacts during transport, ensuring the quality of products in their original condition.

Compared to alumina, a yttria stabilized zirconia tube offers higher fracture toughness and better thermal insulation. Unlike silicon carbide, it has superior phase stability at elevated temperatures and is often preferred for ionic conductivity applications.

No, a yttria stabilized zirconia tube is an excellent electrical insulator under standard conditions. However, at high temperatures, it conducts oxygen ions, which is why it is widely used in solid oxide fuel cells and gas sensors.
