Influence of Alumina Addition on Low Temperature Degradation of Y2O3-Coated Powder Based Y-TZP Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of the addition of 0.25, 2 and 5 wt.% alumina on the mechanical properties and low temperature degradation (LTD) behaviour of 3 mol% yttria-coated ZrO2 powder based Y-TZP ceramics was investigated, and compared to commercial powder based co-precipitated 3Y-TZPs with 0-0.25 wt.% Al2O3 addition. The ceramics were subjected to accelerated hydrothermal degradation in an autoclave in H2O at 134°C up to 40 hrs. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were used to assess the LTD behaviour. Incorporating the Y2O3 stabilizer by means of a coating method resulted in a higher LTD resistance without compromising the higher fracture toughness, compared to the co-precipitation method. Alumina addition did not significantly influence the mechanical properties of all Y-TZPs but significantly increased the LTD resistance of the Y-TZP ceramics. The LTD resistance of 0.25 wt% Al2O3 doped TZPs was substantially higher than that of ceramics containing 2 or 5 wt.% Al2O3, which had a comparable susceptibility. The highest LTD resistance for the 0.25 wt.% alumina doped ceramics could be correlated to the solubility limit of alumina in zirconia.
