yttria stabilized zirconia: The Pinnacle of Advanced Ceramic Innovation

Yttria stabilized Zirconia – The Pinnacle of Advanced Ceramic Innovation

Zirconia is produced through a chemical process known as calcination. Stabilizers are added during this calcination stage to modify zirconium dioxide for maximum performance characteristics in the finished ceramic product.

Yttria stabilized zirconia, commonly referred to as YSZ, is widely known for its durability, corrosion resistance and thermal stability. As such, it’s widely utilized as protective barrier coatings in gas turbines and jet engines to extend part life under intense heat and pressure conditions.
