Abstract

Polythermal sections of the Al2O3-ZrO2-Y2O3 phase diagram confirm that the system is quasibinary and enable one to give a complete phase diagram for the system. The ternary eutectic Al2O3 + ZrO2 (solid solution) + Y3Al5O12 has the lowest melting point in the system, whose temperature is 1715°C. No single-phase regions for the ternary solid solutions have been identified, which indicates that Al2O3 is not soluble in solid solutions based on F-ZrO2 and C-Y2O3. This gives theoretical evidence for the scope for making new ceramics in this ternary system, which may have a high level of mechanical characteristics.
