Conclusions
Solid solutions in the system ZrO2-MgO fired at a high temperature (above 2000°C) in vacuo (5 · 10−4mm Hg) for 5 h decompose as a result of the complete vaporization of the MgO. Solid solutions of ZrO2-CaO undergo partial decomposition when fired in these conditions. The addition of 2 mole % or more yttrium oxide to the solid solutions ZrO2-CaO and ZrO2-MgO results in significantly lower CaO and MgO vaporization.
The long-term exposure of solid solutions in the system ZrO2-CaO and ZrO2-MgO to 2200°C in a helium atmosphere results in the formation of an intercrystalline layer in which not only the stabilizing oxide but also the impurities are concentrated.
In three-component solid solutions which contain yttrium oxide the degree of vaporization is lower and the intergranular secondary phase less developed so that the degree of collective recrystallization is lower.
