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.
$60.00 – $225.00
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
