AlYON2

AlYON2 is an aluminum yttrium oxynitride ceramic compound, combining aluminum oxide with yttrium and nitrogen to form a high-performance oxide-nitride ceramic. This material is engineered for extreme thermal and mechanical environments where conventional oxides or nitrides alone prove insufficient, offering improved hardness, fracture resistance, and thermal stability through its mixed crystal structure. AlYON2 is primarily pursued in aerospace, cutting tool, and wear-resistant component development, where its resistance to thermal shock and oxidation make it attractive as a potential alternative to alumina or silicon nitride for high-speed machining, engine components, and structural applications in harsh service conditions.
