Abstract

We have studied the properties of nanocrystalline ZrO2-Y2O3-CeO2-CoO-Al2O3 powders prepared via hydrothermal treatment of a mixture of coprecipitated hydroxides at 210°C. A number of general trends are identified in the variation of the properties of the synthesized powders during heat treatment at temperatures from 500 to 1200°C. Our results demonstrate that the addition of 0.3 mol % CoO to nanocrystalline ZrO2-based powders containing 1 to 5 mol % Al2O3 allows one to obtain composites with good sinterability at a reduced temperature (1200°C).
