Superior Technical Ceramics Publishes White Paper Highlighting Ceria Stabilized Zirconia Benefits

ST. ALBANS, Vt., Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In a new white paper, Superior Technical Ceramics (STC) has outlined how Ceria Stabilized Zirconia (CSZ) is more resistant to low-temperature degradation than Yttria-stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal (YTZP) and Magnesia Stabilized Zirconia (MSZ).

The key factor in favor that separates CSZ from other Zirconias is that there are no oxygen vacancies to make the tetragonal phase vulnerable in moist environments. No oxygen defects form in CSZ because the Tetravalent Cerium substitute the Zr4+ ions directly.

"We're always looking for ways to make our parts more versatile and more durable, and more of a value to our customers" notes STC Sales Manager, Simon Doran. "Materials like CSZ allow us to meet engineering challenges across a wide variety of industries that other materials simply cannot match."

The white paper goes on to highlight the properties, specifications, and applications of CSZ.

The white paper is available on Superior Technical Ceramics' website here.  It will be of interest for anyone looking to engineer components that are exceptionally strong, durable and operating in high temperature and wet conditions.
