Zirconia CeraCast Powder

Zirconia CeraCast Powder is a dry Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2) powder mix which, on adding around 25 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 >= 80%) Zirconia refractory.

Key Attributes

  • Based on Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2)
  • Prepared as a slurry from dry mixture by just adding water
  • Readily prepared into high 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 87% Zirconium Oxide, 7.6% Yttrium Oxide parts over 80% dense
  • Use temperature >= 1300 C
  • Water-based – easy cleanup

Ideal Uses

  • Casting your own specialty refractory shapes
  • Producing high-density Zirconia parts at only 1300 C sintering in any atmosphere 
  • Making highly thermally-insulating ceramic shapes
