Thermal Cycling Effect on Mechanical Properties of Yttria-Stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia

Article Preview

Abstract:

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is an important material in the area of energy and optical applications. In this study, the mechanical properties (Young’s modulus, Vickers hardness, flexural strength, and coefficient thermal expansion) and physical properties (phase transition) of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (Y-TZP) was reported. The effect of thermal cycling on the mechanical properties and the stability was also evaluated.
