Zirconia(ZrO2) is one of a number of ceramic materials under development both at Dow and other companies for high cost, low-volume applications under severe corrosion/wear conditions. To improve the physical properties of zirconia, much work has been done worldwide in recent years developing partially stabilized zirconia, or PSZ. This is zirconium oxide which has been “stabilized” in the tetragonal form, typically by the addition of calcium or yttrium oxide. The term “partially stabilized” is given to these materials because the proper amount of oxide stabilizer will cause the zirconia to crystallize almost entirely in the tetragonal form under the proper processing conditions. However, the PSZ fabricated part is not completely stabilized, because it will undergo a tetragonal to monoclinic (T → M) phase transformation when subjected to an applied stress.

Yttria Partially Stabilized Zirconia

High temperature plasma nitriding of yttria-partially-stabilized zirconia in atmospheric pressure microwave plasma was investigated. The morphological, mechanical, and physicochemical characteristics of the resulting nitrided layer were characterized by different methods, such as optical and scanning electron microscopy, microindentation, x-ray diffraction, narrow resonant nuclear reaction profiling, secondary neutral mass spectrometry, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, aiming at investigating the applicability of this highly efficient process for nitriding of ceramics. The structure of the plasma nitrided layer was found to be complex, composed of tetragonal and cubic zirconia, as well as zirconium nitride and oxynitride. The growth rate of the nitrided layer, 4 µm/min, is much higher than that obtained by any other previous nitriding process, whereas a typical 50% increase in Vickers hardness over that of yttria-partially-stabilized zirconia was observed.

Yttria-stabilized Zirconia(YSZ) films were deposited on (100)Si substrates by R.F. magnetron sputtering method. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the best YSZ films were cubic in structure and was grown epitaxially with (100) orientation. The (200) peak of YSZ films was 0.8° of the full width at half of the maximum, X-ray diffraction based on Seemann-Bohlin focusing geometry showed no peaks. The morphology of the YSZ films was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The effects of the processing conditions (such as substrate temperature, oxygen partial pressure, etc.) on the structure of the film were also discussed.

Grinding Parameters

In recent development of dental restoration, zirconia has been used as a prosthetic material due to their enhanced properties of fracture strength and toughness compared to other ceramic materials. Zirconia based ceramic materials are used in structural application in engineering, such as in the manufacture of cutting tools, gas sensors, refractories. Grinding was used as the efficient technique to finish ceramic materials. Due to the hard and brittle nature of a ceramic material, the grounded components were left with surface and subsurface damages. In this paper, the influence of the grinding parameters on the grindability of yttrium partially stabilized zirconia was carried out using a diamond grinding wheel. The resin bonded grinding wheel was used to analyze the grinding behavior of the material. The grinding force and surface roughness were measured during the grinding process and the experiments were conducted under conventional flooded conditions. The relationship between the surface finish and grinding parameters such as depth of cut, wheel speed were analyzed.

The article presents the issues of replacing leucosapphires in jeweled bearings of the axes of precision instruments with nanostructured crystals of partially stabilized zirconia. The statement is substantiated that doping with rare earth elements provides an improvement in the performance properties of precision instruments by improving the mechanical properties of bearing materials. The efficiency of doping of zirconia crystals with cerium and neodymium oxides is studied. It was found that doped crystals have increased plasticity, which provides an increase in the crack resistance of crystals. Special attention is paid to the issues of increasing the survivability of high-speed rotor bearings by replacing the thrust bearing of leucosapphire with nanostructured crystals of partially stabilized zirconia doped with cerium and neodymium. The efficiency of improving the mechanical properties is confirmed by the X-ray phase analysis of crystals. The phase composition is studied by Raman scattering and the lattice parameters are determined. The increased crack resistance of the thrust bearing is confirmed by tests performed using the kinetic microhardness method.

Stabilized zirconia is a promising material due to its great physical and chemical properties, and thermal stability. In this work, MgO was used as a stabilizer in ZrO2 to obtain Magnesia Partially Stabilized Zirconia (MSZ) nanomaterials assisted with PEG as a template through conventional mixing process. Zirconium hydroxides prepared from local zircon and MgCO3 were used as MSZ precursors. Meanwhile, the stabilizer concentration was varied from 1 to 4 wt% of ZrO2. The effect of the stabilizer concentration and the calcination temperature to the crystallinity and the morphological properties of the MSZ nanoparticles were studied using X-ray diffraction and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The ZrO2 content in the zirconium hydroxides precursors is accounting 89.52 wt% of the total and exhibits the dominant m-phase at 1000 °C. Meanwhile, the tetragonal and the monoclinic phases were formed in all MSZ samples at a temperature of 800–1000 °C. The as-synthesized MSZ samples show typical FT-IR spectra, consisting of the metal–oxygen bonds at below 500 cm−1 and the organic functional groups ranging at 1000–3000 cm−1. The ZrO2 morphologies exhibit spherical-like shapes with elongated agglomeration at 800 °C. In addition, the average particle sizes of the final product ranges from 20 to 50 nm. At a sintering temperature of 1500 °C, MSZ samples show the monoclinic phase of ZrO2 and densities in the range of 3.95–4.14 g/cm3.

ABSTRACTThe surface of partially stabilized zirconia ceramics was irradiated by a Nd:YAG laser in various atmospheres. Zirconia strongly absorbed YAG's laser beam and changed its chemistry and microstructure. The change of color of zirconia into gold was due to the formation of zirconium nitride (ZrN) observed on the irradiated surface in air, nitrogen or ammonia, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The observed ZrN phase was 10-20 um in thickness at the irradiated area by the direct beam. The adhesion between formed ZrN and YSZ substrate was very weak.

Heat Treated

Magnesia, ceria partially stabilized zirconia (Ce,Mg)-PSZ ceramics with net shape microstructure are prepared using a processing method similar to that of conventional Mg-PSZ ceramics, then heat-treated at 1500°C for different time. Microstructure and phase composition of (Ce, Mg)-PSZ samples with different amount of CeO2 doped were investigated using SEM and X-ray diffraction. The addition of CeO2 could impede the formation of monoclinic phase and inhibit the growth of cubic grains. A microstructure with net-shape cubic grains, in which tetragonal precipitates interweave to a nanoporous structure is obtained by adding 4∼8 mol% CeO2 in 10mol% MgO doped zirconia matrix and then heat treatment at 1500°C for different time. The precipitate morophology might be related with the addition of CeO2 and the heat treatment temperatures.
