Conclusions
In mixtures of zirconium dioxide containing 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mole % SiO2, heated up to 1500–2050°, as well as in mixtures of zirconium dioxide with pre-synthesized zircon (ZrSiO4), no shift in the diffraction maxima lines for the zirconium dioxide were observed.
No interaction was observed between the ZrO2 and SiO2 in any of the specimens up to 1500°. When heated to 1700 and 1750° there was an intensive formation of ZrSiO4, which, as is well known, dissociates into ZrO and SiO when further heated above 1800°. The silica in this case evaporates to a considerable extent.
No formation of a solid solution in the region enriched with zirconium dioxide was observed, in contrast to Zhirnoyva's research. This accords with the conclusions reached by Weber and Schwarz [7].
