Flexible Zirconia Plates
Summary
C12 High Density plates currently include 3 mol% Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (3YSZ) plates. C12 Flexible 3YSZ Zirconia Substrates are ideally suited for electronics and applications that require strong, thin ceramic membranes. 3YSZ plates are characterized by their excellent flexibility, very high bending strength, and high fracture toughness. Flexible 3YSZ Zirconia Substrates are an excellent choice for thin and thickfilm processes or curved fittings.
Description
3YSZ is a partially stabilized zirconia that can be used as an ion conductive ceramic membrane for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) and other thin film applications. This material is characterized by its excellent flexibility, extremely high bending strength and high fracture toughness. Flexible 3YSZ Zirconia Substrates can be manufactured as thin as 20-40 micrometers and up to 300 micrometers thick.
Features
♦ Very fine-grained homogeneous grain structure of 1 μm scale.♦ High electric insulation properties at room temperature.♦ Extremely high mechanical strength.♦ Can be cut by laser or wafer saw.♦ Low surface roughness.♦ Standard thickness of 0.15 mm with high. flexibility (other thicknesses available).
