Preparation and Analysis of Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Thin Film by CVD-EVD Method

Equilibrium Analysis of CVD of Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia

The calculations performed in this study indicate that efficient deposition of tetragonal yttria-stabilized zirconia ~YSZ! by chemical vapor deposition ~CVD! is feasible using metal chloride precursors ~Zr-Y-C-O-H-Cl system!. As reported in the literature, this work demonstrates that high oxygen content is necessary to efficiently utilize metal chloride precursors for depositing tetragonal YSZ ...

Oxygen reduction via grain boundary transport in thin film platinum electrodes on yttria stabilized zirconia

Model-type sputter deposited platinum microelectrodes with different grain sizes were investigated on single crystalline yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) by means of impedance spectroscopy. Measurements on single platinum microelectrodes could be continuously performed for > 100 h and from 250 to 800 °C without losing contact. From the temperature dependence, two parallel reaction pathways for ...

WEAR REESISTANCE OF NANOSTRUCTURED AND CONVENTIONAL YTTRIA-STABILIZED ZIRCONIA COATINGS

Partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) has been proven to be an excellent candidate as a thermal barrier coating (TBe) for hot sections in, for instance, heat or internal combustion engines and gas turbine parts. The main functions of these coatings are reducing heat losses, reducing fuel consumption, increasing efficiency, and extending durability and life. One of the main problems involved is we...

Investigation of the mechanical properties of various yttria stabilized zirconia based thin films prepared by aqueous tape casting

In this study various yttria doped  zirconia based thin films were prepared by the aqueous tape casting method. The rheological property of the paste was studies. The phase content and microstructure of the samples was investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, respectively. The mechanical properties of thin films were studied by Vickers microhardness and nanoindentatio...
