Control of the tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation of yttria-doped tetragonal ZrO2 polycrystals by annealing in water

Description

Sintered samples of zirconia containing 2, 3, or 4 mol pct yttria are the subject of the present investigation of the tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation in monocrystals through water-annealing. The fracture strength of the annealed samples depended on the transformation layer thickness. Attention is given to three approaches to tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation control: the alloying of the ceramic with 0-20 wt pct CeO2, the dispersing of 0-40 wt pct alumina in the ceramic, and the diminution of the grain size of zirconia. 9 references
