Abstract:

Phase equilibria in the ternary system ZrO2-Y2O3-La2O3 at 1250 °C have been studied and isothermal section have been developed. Fine chemical technique such as co-precipitation was used to obtain ceramic nanopowders (with average particle size of 8-20 nm) available for nonisothermal sintering as well. The phase compositions of the annealed samples were studied by methods of X-ray analysis at 20 °C, petrographic and electron microprobe X-ray analyses. No ternary compounds were found. The phase equilibria in the system are determined by intermediate phases: La2Zr2O7 and LaYO3 that crystallize in the pyrochlore and perovskite-type structures, respectively. Solid solutions based on the constituent oxides such as tetragonal (T) and cubic fluorite-type structure (F) ZrO2, cubic form of rare-earth oxides (C-type) Y2O3,as well as hexagonal (A) and monoclinic (B) forms La2O3 were found at 1250 °C. The nanocrystalline powders of tetragonal zirconia actively sintered on heating up to 1150-1400 °C and the powders of lanthanum zirconate show active densification on heating up to 1550-1650 °C. The electrical properties (at 600-950 °C) of yttria-doped pyrochlore were measured, the highest conductivity has been revealed at 10 mol % Y2O3.
