Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Powder
Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Powder
Yttria stabilized zirconia powder is engineered by doping zirconium dioxide with 3–15 mol% yttrium oxide, resulting in a stabilized tetragonal or cubic crystal phase at room temperature. This formulation delivers enhanced thermal stability, mechanical strength, and ionic conductivity. It is ideal for applications such as injection molding, casting, uniaxial pressing, and isostatic pressing due to its consistent particle size and sintering behavior. We can supply high-quality yttria stabilized zirconia powder with various specifications and competitive prices, offering customized solutions to meet specific requirements.
