Stabilization of zirconia sintered with titanium

Description

Electron and X-ray diffraction studies show that zirconia sintered with 5 to 15 mol% titanium under a vacuum of 10/sup -1/ to 10/sup -2/ torr was partially stabilized as cubic and tetragonal phases, whose amounts increase with increasing Ti content. The stabilization of ZrO/sub 2/ is due to the dissolution of TiO which forms as a second phase in the sintered specimen. The grain size of ZrO/sub 2/ decreases with increase in Ti. The improvements in strength and thermal shock resistance of ZrO/sub 2/ sintered with Ti are attributed to the reduction in ZrO/sub 2/ grain size and the effect of partial stabilization
