Understanding zirconia phase structures helps you select materials that deliver the exact performance characteristics your application demands
Why Stabilization Matters in Zirconia Performance
Pure zirconia undergoes destructive phase transformations during thermal cycling—expanding and contracting in ways that cause cracking and mechanical failure. Stabilization with oxides like yttria (Y₂O₃) or magnesia (MgO) locks the crystal structure in beneficial forms, enabling the material to withstand demanding conditions.
Different phase structures offer distinct advantages: tetragonal phases provide exceptional toughness, cubic phases deliver superior ionic conductivity, and controlled phase mixtures enable transformation toughening. Selecting the right stabilization system allows you to optimize strength, thermal stability, and wear resistance for your specific process.
Zirconia Phase Structures Explained
Monoclinic Phase
Stable below ~1170°C
The room-temperature form of pure zirconia. While chemically stable, unstabilized monoclinic zirconia is prone to destructive volume changes during heating and cooling cycles.
- Lowest density of all phases
- Chemical inertness for pigments
- Base material for stabilization
Tetragonal Phase
Stable ~1170°C – 2370°C
Retained at room temperature through yttria or ceria stabilization. This phase enables transformation toughening—absorbing crack energy by converting to monoclinic under stress.
- Exceptional fracture toughness
- High flexural strength
- Ideal for structural ceramics
Cubic Phase
Stable above ~2370°C
Achieved with higher stabilizer concentrations. Cubic zirconia offers excellent high-temperature stability and ionic conductivity, making it essential for solid oxide fuel cells and oxygen sensors.
- Superior ionic conductivity
- Excellent thermal stability
- Critical for electrochemical uses
How Stabilization Affects Performance
Different stabilizers and concentrations enable you to fine-tune material properties for specific manufacturing outcomes
Enhanced Toughness
3Y-TZP formulations retain tetragonal phase for transformation toughening—ideal when crack resistance is critical to product reliability
Thermal Stability
Higher yttria content (8YSZ) creates cubic phases that maintain structure through thermal cycling—essential for high-temperature environments
Wear Resistance
PSZ with magnesia stabilization combines hardness with shock resistance—delivering longer service life in abrasive applications

Request Technical ConsultationTypical Applications
Our zirconia materials are selected based on the performance requirements of your end product—not just industry categories
Wear Resistance & Strength
Structural Ceramics
When your components face constant abrasion and mechanical stress, YSZ and PSZ grades deliver the hardness and toughness that extend service life and reduce replacement costs.
Thermal Stability
Refractories & Insulation
High-temperature environments demand materials that maintain structural integrity through repeated thermal cycles. Our stabilized grades resist thermal shock while providing excellent insulation performance.
Precision & Density
Technical Ceramic Components
Achieving tight tolerances and high sintered density requires powder with controlled particle distribution. Our grades enable predictable shrinkage and superior surface finish in precision parts.
Biocompatibility
Dental & Medical Ceramics
Biomedical applications demand exceptional purity and consistent mechanical properties. Our high-purity YSZ grades meet the stringent requirements for dental restorations and implant components.

How to Choose the Right Zirconia Grade
Match your performance priorities to the optimal material—here's a quick guide to help you decide
If You Need
Maximum Fracture Toughness
Your components face impact loads, crack propagation risks, or need to survive mechanical shock without catastrophic failure.
Recommended
3Y-TZP (3 mol% Yttria)
If You Need
High-Temperature Stability
Your application operates above 1000°C or experiences repeated thermal cycling that destabilizes lower-yttria grades.
Recommended
8YSZ (Cubic Phase)
If You Need
Wear & Thermal Shock Resistance
Your parts face abrasive environments combined with rapid temperature changes—requiring both hardness and shock tolerance.
Recommended
Mg-PSZ or Ca-PSZ
Common Selection Mistakes to Avoid
Using 3Y-TZP above 400°C in humid environments — Low-temperature degradation can compromise tetragonal phase stability over time
Choosing by purity alone without considering phase — High purity doesn't guarantee the mechanical properties your application needs
Ignoring particle size effects on sintering — The wrong D50 can lead to density problems or excessive shrinkage variability
