Product Description

Aerospace & Power Generation|Industry-Standard Thermal Barrier Coatings

YSZ is best known as the standard material for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) in gas turbines and jet engines. When applied as a top coating on superalloy components, YSZ's extremely low thermal conductivity and high-temperature phase stability protect metallic substrates from excessive heat, significantly improving engine efficiency, durability, and service life. These advantages have made YSZ an indispensable material in the aerospace and power generation industries.

✦ Key Benefits: Ultra-low thermal conductivity  ·  High-temperature phase stability  ·  Extended component service life  ·  Enhanced engine efficiency

Energy & Sensing Technologies|SOFC Electrolytes and Oxygen Sensors

Another key application of YSZ powder is in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), where it serves as the preferred electrolyte material. At elevated operating temperatures, YSZ exhibits high oxygen-ion conductivity while remaining electronically insulating, enabling efficient electrochemical reactions and stable power generation. In addition, YSZ is widely used in oxygen sensors, particularly lambda sensors for automotive exhaust systems and industrial furnaces, where its oxygen-ion transport capability allows precise monitoring and control of combustion processes to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
