Abstract

The mechanical properties of Y-TZP(yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline) materials with different microstructures have been studied and related to the phase transformation capability during fracture. It has been found that the microstructure of the materials affects the phase composition and also the phase transformation volume (tetragonal to monoclinic) on the fracture surface during fracture. Higher densities lead to higher phase transformation volume; and both of them contribute to higher fracture toughness and strength.
