The toughness of partially-stabilized zirconia has been studied for some time. The tetragonal phase in partially stabilized ZrO2 transforms to the monoclinic phase under the influence of stress. Partially-stabilized ZrO2 has enhanced tensile strength, good wear resistance and low friction coefficient, and has found industrial applications. This article describes the use of partially-stabilized zirconia in slip casting. Lab techniques of slip casting have been reported for nonplastic materials such as Al2O3, CaF2, CaO-stabilized ZrO2 and MgO. The article discusses the variation of slip density and firing temperature and also reports the preparation of specimens of CaOstabilized ZrO2 by slip casting from ethanol-based suspensions. The preparation of Y2O3-ZrO2 compositions by slip casting from aqueous suspension is also reported. A Y2O3 partially stabilized ZrO2 powder was used as a starting material. The densities of the cast specimens were measured from the volume and weight, and those of the sintered specimens were measured by a liquid displacement technique using distilled water. The concentation of the suspension strongly affects the relative density of the cast specimen and the firing shrinkage of the sintered specimen, while the relative density of the sintered specimen is independent of the concentration of the suspension.
