Destabilizing Effect of Zirconia Products Caused by Aluminum

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermodynamic analysis on destabilizing effect of zirconia products caused by aluminum is carried on by using material Gibbs free energy function, and then the experimental verification was tested by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that: 1) aluminum reacts with calcium oxide, the stabilizer of zirconia, forming some sheet-like calcium hexaluminate. It results in the stabilizer loss and the volume destabilization of zirconia. 2) Aluminum reacts with magnesium oxide, the stabilizer of zirconia, forming some octahedral magnesia-alumina spinel. It results in the stabilizer loss and the volume destabilization of zirconia. 3) The destabilizing effect of zirconia caused by aluminum can be defined three layers, which are original layer, transition layer and reaction layer.
