Abstract

Nanostructured yttrium-stabilized zirconia powders, with yttria concentrations between 0.0 and 10.0 mol%, were prepared via the hydrolysis of an aqueous solution of zirconyl and yttrium chloride, and ammonium hydroxide. Powder phases were characterized by using X-ray powder diffraction; their crystalline structures were refined with the Rietveld technique. When samples were annealed below 200 C, their diffraction patterns corresponded to an amorphous atom distribution and were independent of yttria concentration. The doped amorphous phases crystallized, at 400 C, into tetragonal or cubic nanocrystalline zirconia, which were stabilized by yttrium. These results suggest that yttrium atoms served as a substitute for zirconium atoms not only in the crystalline phases but also in the amorphous phases, which are determined by the fast condensation of zirconyl clusters. Nondoped samples contained a mixture of monoclinic and tetragonal nanocrystalline zirconia; those with 2.5 to 5.0 mol% yttria contained only the tetragonal zirconia nanophase, and those with 7.5 to 10.0 mol% had only the nanocrystalline cubic phase. The average crystallite size of the nanophases diminished when Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} concentration was increased.

Identification of tetragonal and cubic structures of zirconia using synchrotron x-radiation source

Journal Article Srinivasan, R ; De Angelis, R J ; Ice, G ; ... - Journal of Materials Research; (USA)

X-ray diffraction from a synchrotron source was employed in an attempt to identify the crystal structures in zirconia ceramics produced by sol-gel method. The particles of chemically precipitated zirconia, after calcination below 600 {degree}C, are very fine, and have a diffracting particle size in the range of 7--15 nm. As the tetragonal and cubic structures of zirconia have similar lattice parameters, it is difficult to distinguish between the two. The tetragonal structure can be identified only by the characteristic splittings of the Bragg profiles from the c'' index planes. However, these split Bragg peaks from the tetragonal phase in zirconiamore »« less

A sol-powder coating technique for fabrication of yttria stabilised zirconia

Journal Article Wattanasiriwech, Darunee ; Wattanasiriwech, Suthee ; Stevens, Ron - Materials Research Bulletin

Yttria stabilised zirconia has been prepared using a simple sol-powder coating technique. The polymeric yttria sol, which was prepared using 1,3 propanediol as a network modifier, was homogeneously mixed with nanocrystalline zirconia powder and it showed a dual function: as a binder which promoted densification and a phase modifier which stabilised zirconia in the tetragonal and cubic phases. Thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction revealed that the polymeric yttria sol which decomposed at low temperature into yttrium oxide could change the m {sup {yields}} t phase transformation behaviour of the zirconia, possibly due to the small particle size and very highmore »« less

Heat treatment and additive effects on microstructure and properties of tetragonal-(2-3 mol%) yttria-stabilized zirconia

Miscellaneous Baskaran, S

The role of selected additives (Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, yttrium aluminum garnet and Zr) in microstructural development, phase stability and mechanical behavior of predominantly-tetragonal (2-3 mol%) yttria-stabilized-zirconia (YSZ) was investigated. Preliminary studies on compositional effects were studied in 2-3 mol% YSZ prepared from a mixed oxide powder. Microstructure-property relationships were then investigated as a function of heat treatment conditions in 3 mol% YSZ prepared from a commercially available co-precipitated powder. Additive effects on microstructure and mechanical properties were studied for optimized heat treatment schedules in the 3mol% YSZ system. For the YSZ-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} system, microstructures developed from mechanical mixing ofmore »« less
Comparative study of three yttrium organometallic compounds for the stabilization of the cubic phase in YSZ deposited by PE-CVD

Journal Article Espinoza-Pérez, L. J. ; López-Honorato, Eddie ; González, Luis A. ; ... - Ceramics International

In this work, the efficiencies of three organometallic yttrium precursors used to produce YSZ coatings by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition were studied. Yttrium (III) acetylacetonate, Y (acac) ₃, yttrium (III) hexafluoroacetylacetonate, Y (acacF ₆) ₃, and yttrium (III) tris(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate), Y (tmhd) ₃, were used to stabilize the cubic phase in zirconia deposited at temperatures from 500 to 800 °C. Our results showed that at temperatures between 500 and 600 °C, Y (tmhd) ₃ appeared to be the most efficient dopant as it introduced the highest concentration of yttria (1–2.7 mol%) with only 6.4–5.6 at.% carbon. However, at 700 and 800more »« less

Influence of yttria content on the preparation of nanocrystalline yttria-doped zirconia

Journal Article Huang, D ; Venkatachari, K R ; Stangle, G C - Journal of Materials Research

Nanocrystalline zirconia doped with 0--10 mol % Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} has been prepared by a combustion synthesis process, followed by a rapid densification process. The concentration of Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} in the as-reacted zirconia appeared to have a significant influence on the reduction of the crystallite size, in the combustion temperature range studied (450 {degree}C--550 {degree}C), as well as on the stabilization of the tetragonal and/or cubic phases. The green compacts were densified by a fast-firing process. During fast-firing, the dwell temperature significantly affected the final average grain size and the final density of the article.
