Advanced ceramic powders

Stabilized Zirconia & Mixed Oxides

Stabilized zirconia and mixed-oxide powders, specified by stabilizer system, composition basis and forming or sintering route.

Powder material specimens; appearance reference

Choose a material

Yttria-stabilized zirconia

Identify the 3Y, 5Y or 8YSZ requirement and state whether the stabilizer content is expressed in mol% or wt%. Compare loose powder and granulated pressing feed separately.

Other stabilized zirconias

Choose magnesia or calcia stabilization, then the composition and phase criteria. Use the intended forming and firing process to define particle requirements.

Composite and mixed-oxide ceramics

ZTA, ATZ, spinel, mullite and cordierite are distinct systems. For composites, state which material is the main phase and how the composition is specified.

Material selection guide

Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet.

Composition & basis

Identify yttria, magnesia, calcia or the intended mixed-oxide system. State whether stabilizer content is reported in mol% or wt%.

Phase & feedstock form

Distinguish a loose fine powder, spray-dried granule and prepared feedstock. Define the phase or phase evidence required.

Processing window

Discuss particle distribution, binder/additives and the intended forming and firing route. Request data applicable to the candidate grade.

Before you choose

Can two grades called YSZ be treated as interchangeable?

YSZ describes a family. Stabilizer content, phase, particle profile and additives can differ. Match the complete grade and processing brief before comparing options.

What does this directory cover?

ZTA, ATZ and other mixed oxides retain their own identities. Thermal-spray feedstock needs process-specific checks in the spray-powder directory.

What to include in your request

A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.

  • Stabilizer chemistry and mol%/wt% basis
  • Target phase and additive/binder status
  • Loose powder or granulated feedstock
  • Particle profile and forming/firing route

Quantity, samples and documents

Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums.

We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
