Creators

Description

The effect of temperature, grain size, and chemical composition on the rate at which cubic zirconia is changed to monoclinic zirconia by phosphates was examined. Both phosphoric acid and aluminium phosphate will destabilize zirconia. Usable mixes can be formulated if sufficient lime is added. It is necessary to add larger amounts of lime to maintain cubic zirconia for acceptable thermal shock resistance
