Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) Powder

High-purity yttria-stabilized zirconia powder — grade KG-ZRO99-20

Zirconia (ZrO₂) material overview

Zirconia is a tough engineering ceramic with high strength, wear resistance and excellent surface-finish potential. Thanks to its phase-transformation toughening mechanism, it offers fracture toughness far above typical ceramics, making it ideal for precision mechanical and wear parts. Khat Group supplies yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) powder for blades, plungers, sleeves, rollers, pins and custom precision components across medical, consumer, industrial and fluid-handling systems.

Key material advantages

  • High fracture toughness for a ceramic
  • Excellent wear resistance
  • Smooth surface-finish capability
  • Good strength for precision mechanical parts
  • Good thermal and electrical insulation

Common ceramic components

  • Zirconia blades and cutters
  • Ceramic plungers and pistons
  • Sleeves, pins and rollers
  • Custom precision zirconia parts

Typical application fit

  • Medical and analytical equipment
  • Food and consumer products
  • Pump and valve systems
  • Industrial wear components

The featured commercial grade is a high-purity yttria-stabilized zirconia powder in the fine-milled fraction:

AttributeKG-ZRO99-20
Purity≥ 99.5%
Particle size< 5 µm
StabilizerYttria (~3 mol%)
StructureY-TZP (tetragonal)

This grade is well suited to dense-sintered precision components where fine, uniform grain growth, high density and a smooth finish are required.
