Impacts of high-speed sintering on the optical and mechanical properties, microstructure, crystallography, and low-temperature degradation of commercial yttria-partially stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ) were investigated.
Five commercial Y-PSZ products (KATANA HT, KATANA STML, KATANA UTML, Zpex 4, and Zpex Smile) were investigated. Specimens were sintered following speed-sintering (90 min) and conventional-sintering protocols (7 h), and a group of KATANA STML was super-speed-sintered (18 min). Dimensions of the zirconia specimens after sintering were 14.5 mm (diameter) and 1.2 mm (thickness). Translucency was assessed using a colorimeter. Biaxial flexural strength was measured using a universal testing machine, followed by Weibull analysis. Scanning electron microscopy was used for microstructure assessments. X-ray diffraction was used to analyze the crystallography before and after hydrothermal aging. Low-temperature degradation (LTD) tests were performed at 134 °C under 2-3 bar water vapor in an autoclave.
The translucency and flexural strength were not affected significantly by the sintering programs (p > 0.05). The conventionally sintered KATANA STML and speed-sintered Zpex 4 presented the highest and lowest Weibull modulus, respectively. The conventionally-sintered Y-PSZ had a larger average grain size and smaller fraction of fine grains than those of the speed-sintered specimens. The fractographic analysis of the speed- and conventionally sintered Y-PSZ yielded comparable results. The speed-sintered Y-PSZ exhibited a lower c-ZrO content than that of conventionally-sintered Y-PSZ, except for KATANA HT and KATANA STML. LTD tests indicated that some of the speed and conventionally-sintered Y-PSZ exhibited similar monoclinic volume fractions.
Speed-sintering programs are acceptable for Y-PSZ zirconia.
研究高速烧结对商用钇部分稳定氧化锆(Y-PSZ)的光学和力学性能、微观结构、晶体学以及低温降解的影响。
研究了五种商用Y-PSZ产品(KATANA HT、KATANA STML、KATANA UTML、Zpex 4和Zpex Smile)。按照高速烧结(约90分钟)和传统烧结方案(约7小时)对试样进行烧结,对一组KATANA STML进行超速烧结(18分钟)。烧结后氧化锆试样的尺寸为14.5毫米(直径)和1.2毫米(厚度)。使用色度计评估透明度。使用万能试验机测量双轴弯曲强度,随后进行威布尔分析。使用扫描电子显微镜进行微观结构评估。使用X射线衍射分析水热老化前后的晶体学。在高压釜中于134°C、2-3巴水蒸气条件下进行低温降解(LTD)试验。
烧结程序对透明度和弯曲强度没有显著影响(p>0.05)。传统烧结的KATANA STML和高速烧结的Zpex 4分别具有最高和最低的威布尔模量。传统烧结的Y-PSZ比高速烧结的试样具有更大的平均晶粒尺寸和更小的细晶粒比例。对高速烧结和传统烧结的Y-PSZ进行的断口分析得出了可比的结果。除KATANA HT和KATANA STML外,高速烧结的Y-PSZ的c-ZrO含量低于传统烧结的Y-PSZ。LTD试验表明,一些高速烧结和传统烧结的Y-PSZ表现出相似的单斜晶体积分数。
高速烧结方案对于Y-PSZ氧化锆是可接受的。
