The Grain Size Dependence of the Mechanical Properties in TZP Ceramics

  • Chapter
Zirconia’88

Abstract

TZP ceramics, containing 2, 2.5, and 3 mol% Y2O3 have been fabricated to give a grain size range of 0.5 to 2.0 µm and the microstructure and - mechanical properties (fracture toughness and fracture strength) determined. The grain size has been demonstrated to be an important parameter in controlling the mechanical properties and can itself be controlled by the sintering temperature and time. The grain size and the stabilizer addition are related to the size of the transformation zone and the extent to which both these parameters determine the toughening increment is discussed.
