A Comparative Study of Superplastic Deformation and Cavitation Failure in a Yttria Stabilized Zirconia and a Zirconia Alumina Composite
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTA fine grained yttria stabilized zirconia and a zirconia composite containing 20% alumina exhibit superplastic characteristics, with optimum elongations to failure of ≥500%. There is microstructural evidence for deformation enhanced grain growth and concurrent cavitation in both of these superplastic ceramics. Grain sizes after superplastic deformation may be several times larger than the initial grain size, and the level of cavitation can attain values as high as ≥30% under some experimental conditions. This report presents in a comparative format some recent experimental results on the microstructural aspects of superplastic deformation and concurrent cavitation in these superplastic ceramics.
