Mechanical properties of toughened ZrO/sub 2/-Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/ ceramics

Journal Article · · J. Am. Ceram. Soc.; (United States)
Tetragonal zirconia polycrystals were produced from high purity powders containing 1.5 to 5.0 mol% Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/ by cold isostatic pressing and sintering, hot-pressing, and hot isostatic pressing. The mechanical properties and microstructures of these resulting materials were examined, with emphasis on the relation between strength and fracture toughness.
