The hot isostatic pressing of an yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) powder yields a body that is slightly reduced. Stepped-temperature stress-rupture tests revealed that a hot isostatically pressed Y-TZP has anomalous time-dependent failure behavior through the temperature range 800{degree} to 1,200{degree}C. However, this anomaly can effectively be eliminated, and the stress-rupture performance significantly improved, by oxidizing the pressed body at 1,000{degree}C before use.
