Abstract

Zirconia can be stabilized by using different stabilizer which included Ceria, Yttria, Calcium or
Ytterbia. Among all the stabilizers, Yttrium stabilizer added to zirconia to form YSZ (Yttrium Stabilized
Zirconia) as one of the most popular been applied for years in various industries. In this paper will review
the different concentration of yttria can be specially used for a specific purpose. Basically, the nature of
zirconia exhibited phase transformation when sintering temperature is varied and each phase does possess
attractive material properties for the industry. From the earlier work and research, the yttria stabilizer for
zirconia good for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) and Bio-material Industry.
The paper will also review in detail the mechanism of YSZ in each respective purpose and provide a
possibility or room to use YSZ for a new industry purpose.
