Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals stabilized with 3% mol. content of yttria (3Y-TZP) has excellent properties in terms of strength and fracture toughness. These properties are mostly imputable to the transformation toughening mechanism, by which the doped metastable tetragonal phase of zirconia transforms to monoclinic under applied stress ahead of a crack. This phenomenon is accompanied by a vo...

A series of microstructured, supported platinum (Pt) catalyst films (supported on single-crystal yttria-stabilized zirconia) and an appropriate Pt catalyst reference system (supported on single-crystal alumina) were fabricated using pulsed laser deposition and ion-beam etching. The thin films exhibit area-specific lengths of the three-phase boundary (length of three-phase boundary between the P...

During the last years, interest in application of additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, becomes extremely popular various fields medicine including dentistry. Currently, metal and ceramic materials are most often used for dental prosthetics manufactured by printing. The yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) ceramics has become best alternative metal-based restorations. In this rega...

This study aims to investigate the microstructural alterations, mechanical properties, sliding wear behavior, and corrosion properties of Al-15%Mg2Si composites with different contents yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). YSZ (0, 3, 6, 9 wt.%) were fabricated using stir-casting technique. The characterized by means optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron (SEM) equipped energy-dispersive spectro...

The feasibility and opportunity of nanostructured defect-engineered electrodes for exceptional performance stability solid oxide fuel cells operating at intermediate temperatures (500–700°C) are reported in this study. electrode is designed with infiltrated La0.4Sr0.6MnO3-δ (LSM) nanoparticles as oxygen reduction reaction catalysts on an yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) nanofiber scaffold a con...

Glassy deposits mainly comprising of calcium–magnesium–alumina–silicate (CMAS) accelerate the spallation thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). In this work, an Al2O3 layer was produced on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coating by plasma spray–physical vapor deposition (PS–PVD). The effects processing parameters during PS–PVD process microstructures deposited were investigated. A homogeneous with p...

This study is an effort to cover and interconnect multiple aspects of the fabrication yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) from powder preparation a solid electrolyte suitable for utilization in oxide cells. Thus, series YSZ electrolytes was prepared, differing content Y2O3 dopant method preparation. Combustion synthesis along with thermal decomposition precursors used 8 18 mol.%. Post-synthesis tr...
