Abstract Phase stability of the thermal barrier deposits made from yttria-partially-stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ) is a requirement for extended service lifetime. The response of Y-PSZ plasma-sprayed deposits to annealing at 1000 °C, 1200 °C, and 1400 °C with times from 1 to 1000 hours has been evaluated using Rietveld analysis of neutron diffraction data. Results show that yttria concentration of the as-sprayed tetragonal zirconia component generally decreased with increasing annealing temperature and time. As the yttria content in the tetragonal phase approached a limiting concentration, the tetragonal phase transformed into monoclinic phase on cooling. An increase in monoclinic phase content was clearly observable after annealing 24 hours at 1400 °C and was nearly 35 % after 100 hours at 1400 °C. A similar trend was observed at 1200 °C for longer annealing times, with monoclinic phase formation beginning after 400 hours. At 1000 °C experimental times were not sufficient for monoclinic phase to form although a decrease in the yttria concentration in the tetragonal phase was observed.

Dominant Phase

8 mol% of Yttrium oxide doped Zirconia (8YSZ) is one of the most explored compositions which give high ionic conductivities and good power output at 1000 °C. Generally, dopant was added to improve the sinterability of 8YSZ ceramics. In this present study, granulated 8YSZ powders with multimodal size was mixed with ZnO (0,1,2,3 wt%) using mortar and pestle. The mixed powder was compacted and sintered at 1550°C for 2 hours. 2 distinct endothermic peaks were observed in DTA plot of all samples. However, samples contain high amount of ZnO had a broader endothermic peak which resulted from the melting of ZnO. Rietveld refinement results indicate that the tetragonal phase appeared as the dominant phase for all doped and undoped samples, while cubic and monoclinic phase as the secondary phase. The monoclinic phase decreased as the amount of ZnO increased.

Attrition Milling

Compositions of (ZrO2)0.92(Y2O3)0.08 (zirconia: 8 mol % yttria—8YSZ) and (CeO2)0.8(Sm2O3)0.2 (ceria: 20 mol % samaria—SDC20) ceramic powders were prepared by attrition milling to form an equimolar powder mixture, followed by uniaxial and isostatic pressing. The pellets were quenched to room temperature from 1200 °C, 1300 °C, 1400 °C and 1500 °C to freeze the defects configuration attained at those temperatures. X-ray diffraction analyses, performed in all quenched pellets, show the evolution of the two (8YSZ and SDC20) cubic fluorite structural phases to a single phase at 1500 °C, identified by Rietveld analysis as a tetragonal phase. Impedance spectroscopy analyses were carried out in pellets either quenched or slowly cooled from 1500 °C. Heating the quenched pellets to 1000 °C decreases the electrical resistivity while it increases in the slowly cooled pellets; the decrease is ascribed to annealing of defects created by lattice micro-tensions during quenching while the increase to partial destabilization of the tetragonal phase.
