Properties Of Yttrium Oxide Ceramics
Yttria ceramics have been widely investigated and used due to their significant physical and chemical properties such as high melting temperature 2430 c low thermal expansion high thermal.
Properties of yttrium oxide ceramics. Results indicated that a higher sintering temperature benefited the preparation of ceramic cores with excellent properties. These cases are illustrated by yttrium barium copper oxide ybco. Chemical formula yba 2 cu 3 o 7 shown in figure 2d. Densification aids are yttrium oxide plus aluminum oxide.
Yttria is often used to stabilize other ceramic compositions like zirconia. The cubic structure of yttrium oxide is stable to 1800 c. That is it loses all resistance to electric current at extremely low temperatures. Its structure consists of three cubes with yttrium or barium at the centre copper at the corners and oxygen at the middle of each edge with the exception of the middle cube.
A change in lattice parameter of less than 0 007 a u. The influences of yttrium oxide content and sintering temperature on properties of ceramic cores were studied carefully. This study examines the distribution of y 3 ions in a zro 2 sio 2 glass ceramic. The distribution of dopant in glass ceramics may be totally different due to the existence of glass phase.
Yttria overview yttria yttrium oxide y 2 o 3 is a rare earth ceramic which exhibits both exceptional plasma resistance and an aptitude for high temperature applications. It is an air stable white solid substance. Was observed on heating the oxide to 1800 c. Ybco is a superconducting ceramic.
Yttrium oxide also known as yttria is y 2 o 3. 1957 08 01 00 00 00 the most inert shows only partial wetting even a t atmospheric pressures and equilibrium conditions are easily attained platinum although it does not have stable oxides a t the usual test temperatures appears to have sufficient oxygen affinity to follow the sequence described in the. The thermal conductivity of yttrium oxide is 27 w m k. In severely anisotropic materials there can be great variation of properties.
In air as indicated by petrographic x ray and differential thermal analyses. Two samples were prepared by hot pressing yttrium oxide doped and undoped 65 mol zro 2 35 mol sio 2 nanocrystalline. The mean specific heat of y 2 o 3 to 1600 c. Properties of yttrium oxide ceramics properties of yttrium oxide ceramics curtis c.
