About YSZ-8 Button Substrate - 2cm Diam

YSZ-8Button Substrate - 2cm Diam

ProductCode: 6201621

TheseYttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) (8 mole % yttria) Substrates are for thedevelopment of anode and cathode materials and structures. The YSZ substrate isparticularly useful for short-term destructive testing, e.g. impurity/sulfurresistance of anode materials, where low cost is desired, and low performanceis acceptable. We recommend the use of the Hionic Substrate for high-performance testing.

TypicalUse Guidelines: Highly conductive Scandia based substrate for fabricatingsolid oxide fuel cells, or other high temperature applications. The Hionicsubstrates are ideal for long term testing, and other application whereimproved conductivity of an electrolyte support is desired.

 

Other Sizes AvailableInclude:

2.5 cm Diameter
3.2 cm Diameter

Superior Thermal and Mechanical Properties

The YSZ-8 Button Substrate stands out for its remarkable mechanical strength (1100 MPa flexural) and hardness (13 GPa). Its high operating temperature range, up to 2400C, allows it to perform reliably in extreme thermal environments. With a thermal expansion coefficient of 10.5 x 106 /K and excellent corrosion resistance, this substrate provides stability and durability, critical for advanced applications.


Precision Engineering for High-Tech Applications

Engineered with polished, rounded edges and a smooth surface finish on one side, the YSZ-8 disc supports precise experimental configurations. Its low porosity (<0.1%), high purity (99.9%), and consistent physical dimensions (2 cm diameter, 1 mm thick) contribute to reliable performance in solid oxide electrolytes, oxygen sensors, and fuel cell systems. The substrate is suitable for research, industrial, and commercial uses alike.


Safe and Secure Packaging

Each YSZ-8 Button Substrate is vacuum-sealed individually, ensuring that it arrives with minimal moisture content (<0.05%) and without contamination. This meticulous packaging meets ISO 9001 requirements, maintaining product integrity throughout storage and transport. Customers can expect dependable, high-quality material delivered directly by certified manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers in the United States.
