Yttria CeraCast Powder

Yttria CeraCast Powder is a dry Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3) powder mix which, on adding around 50 wt% water and stirring, can be poured/cast into silicone molds to form parts. After casting and drying, firing the cast part to only 1300 C results in a high-density (typically >= 85%) yttria refractory.

Key Attributes

  • Based on highly stable refractory – Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3)
  • Prepared as a slurry from dry mixture by just adding water
  • Readily prepared into near full density parts by cast-and-sinter technique or by press-and-sinter
  • Low shrinkage during drying
  • Low sintering temperature of only 1300 C for obtaining >95% yttrium oxide over 85% dense 
  • Use temperature >= 1300 C and possibly to 2000 C
  • Water-based – easy cleanup

Ideal Uses

  • Casting your own specialty refractory shapes
  • Producing high-density yttria parts at only 1300 C sintering in any atmosphere 
  • Making electrically and thermal insulating ceramic shapes
