ON THE DESTABILIZATION OF THE CUBIC FORM OF ZIRCONIUM DIOXIDE (in Russian)
Specimens of zirconium dioxide were stabilized with 10to 30 mole % CaO and 14to 35 mole% MgO. The stabilization was made in the arc furnace and by a ceramic sintering of fine powdered mixtures at 1750 C for 6 hr. Petrographic and x-ray investigations showed that both melted and sintered zirconium dioxide have cubic structures. Phase constitutions of stabilized specimens of ZrO/sub 2/ after sintening for 50 hr at 1200 C are tabulated. Data indicate that the decomposition rate of hard solutions of CaO- ZrO/sub 2/ and MgO-ZrO/sub 2/ depends on the content of the admixture and the concentration of solid solution. The solid solutions in the CaO- ZrO/sub 2/ system have higher stability than the MgO- ZrO/sub 2/ system. The studies indicate the complex mechanism of solid solution decomposition and the importance of further investigations. (R.V.J.)
