Ca-PSZ for ceramics grade:
Through specialized production processes, Ca-PSZ powder is manufactured by precisely adjusting the CaO content. Featuring high strength, superior tenacity, and excellent thermal shock performance, Ca-PSZ powder serves as an optimal raw material for producing high-temperature thermal ceramics.
Ca-PSZ powder for refractory grade:
The refractory grade Ca-PSZ powder, produced via an electric melting quenching process, can be categorized into various functional grades.
It is widely utilized in the manufacturing of zirconia ceramics and specialized refractory products, including electronic burning plates, sizing nozzles, sliding plates, submerged entry nozzles, zirconia components, and custom kiln furniture.
Thanks to its high melting point and strong resistance to corrosion and thermal stress, calcium-stabilized zirconia powder is widely used in applications that require long-term durability under elevated temperatures. It is commonly applied in advanced refractory materials, solid oxide fuel cells, oxygen sensors, and thermal barrier coatings, where materials must withstand continuous thermal cycling and aggressive chemical conditions without degradation.
One of the most important applications of calcium-stabilized zirconia powder is in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Its high ionic conductivity at elevated operating temperatures makes it an ideal choice for the electrolyte layer. The material allows oxygen ions to migrate efficiently through the cell, enabling stable and efficient electricity generation. At the same time, its mechanical robustness and structural stability ensure reliable operation under prolonged high-temperature conditions.
Another key application is in oxygen sensors, particularly those used in automotive exhaust systems and industrial process control. Calcium-stabilized zirconia serves as the core sensing material due to its ability to conduct oxygen ions at high temperatures. By accurately detecting oxygen concentration in exhaust gases or furnace atmospheres, these sensors enable precise combustion control, improving fuel efficiency while reducing harmful emissions.
In addition, calcium-stabilized zirconia powder plays a critical role in advanced refractory applications. It is widely used in high-performance refractory linings for furnaces, kilns, and other high-temperature equipment. Its exceptional resistance to thermal shock, corrosion, and chemical attack ensures long service life and operational reliability in extreme environments, such as those found in the steel, glass, and metallurgical industries.
With precise control of CaO content through tailored production processes, Ca-PSZ powder exhibits high strength, excellent toughness, and strong thermal shock resistance, making it an ideal choice for high-performance thermal ceramics.

Ca-PSZ stands for Calcium Partially Stabilized Zirconia. It uses calcium oxide (CaO) as the stabilizing agent to maintain the cubic phase of zirconia at room temperature, preventing destructive phase transformations. Compared to yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ), Ca-PSZ offers a highly cost-effective solution for high-temperature refractory and ceramic applications while delivering excellent thermal shock resistance and durability.
Ceramic grade Ca-PSZ is produced via precise sintering with controlled CaO content, resulting in high-strength, high-toughness powder ideal for thermal ceramic components. Refractory grade Ca-PSZ is produced via electric melting quenching, yielding higher ZrO₂ purity and exceptional thermal stability for refractory linings, nozzles, sliding plates, and kiln furniture.
The Ca-PSZ ceramic grade products (FR-3C01 and FR-3C01F) are rated for long-term continuous service up to 1200°C, while the FR-3C02 and FR-3C02F grades can withstand operating temperatures up to 1500°C. Grade selection depends on the thermal demands of your specific operational environment.
Yes. For FR-ECZ01 and FR-ECZ02 refractory grade products, particle sizes can be tailored according to specific application requirements. Additionally, the FR-ECZO3 grade is engineered in hollow ball form to suit lightweight, high-insulation refractory applications.
Ca-PSZ powder is extensively utilized across metallurgy (steel sizing nozzles, sliding plates), electronics (burning plates), clean energy (solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes), automotive (oxygen sensors), and industrial high-temperature processing (furnace linings and kiln components).
Calcium-stabilized zirconia exhibits high ionic conductivity at elevated operating temperatures, which is essential for SOFC electrolyte layers. It facilitates efficient oxygen ion transport while providing the mechanical robustness required for sustained high-temperature energy generation.
