Abstract

The physicomechanical properties of ceramics obtained from plasmachemical and sol-gel powders of partially stabilized (3% Y2O3) zirconia (PSZ) and its compositions with 20% Al2O3 by cold isostatic pressing (CIP) at a pressure of at most 2 GPa and sintering at 1300–1650°C are investigated. It is established that plasmachemical PSZ exhibits its best properties (K lc=7.8 MPa · m1/2, a strength of 650 MPa) only after complete disintegration at a CIP of 0.1 GPa and a sintering temperature of 1650°C, when the material is sintered to a density of 5.5 g/cm3. After partial stabilization and CIP at 0.1 GPa the plasmachemical composition of PSZ+20% Al2O3 is sintered at 1650°C to a density of 4.7 g/cm3, but hasK lc=8.5 MPa · m1/2 and a strength of 700 MPa. The deagglomerated sol-gel powder exhibits properties at a level ofK lc=12.4 MPa · m1/2 and a strength of 950 MPa at a density above 6.0 g/cm3 after CIP at 0.3 GPa and sintering at 1450°C. The latter obviously has the best mechanical properties of all the investigated materials.
