The isothermal tetragonal-to-monoclinic transformation of 3Y-TZP ceramics sintered at two different temperatures (1450 degrees C and 1550 degrees C) and duration (2 and 5h) is investigated at 134 degrees C in steam. Particular attention is paid to the presence of a cubic phase and its effect on isothermal aging. Sintering at 1550 degrees C can result in a significant amount of large cubic grains in the specimens, that have a detrimental impact on aging resistance, especially for the first stage of the aging process. Cubic grains appear to be enriched in yttrium, which in turn leads to a depletion of yttrium in the neighboring tetragonal grains. These grains will act as nucleation sites for tetragonal-to-monoclinic transformation. Even for specimens sintered at lower temperature, i.e. 1450 degrees C, the presence of a cubic phase is expected from the phase diagram, leading to a significant effect on aging sensitivity.
研究了在134℃蒸汽环境下,在两种不同温度(1450℃和1550℃)以及不同时长(2小时和5小时)烧结的3Y-TZP陶瓷的等温四方相向单斜相转变。特别关注立方相的存在及其对等温时效的影响。在1550℃烧结会导致试样中出现大量大尺寸立方晶粒,这对耐老化性有不利影响,尤其是在时效过程的第一阶段。立方晶粒似乎富含钇,这反过来又导致相邻四方晶粒中的钇耗尽。这些晶粒将作为四方相向单斜相转变的形核位点。即使对于在较低温度(即1450℃)烧结的试样,根据相图预计也会存在立方相,从而对时效敏感性产生显著影响。
