Abstract

The influence of grain size and density of yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZPs) ceramics on mechanical properties and on low-temperature aging degradation (LTD) in air and in hot water was investigated. A TZP powder containing 3 mol% Y2O3 was consolidated by slip casting and densified by the sintering/hot isostatic pressing (HIP) method. Only the presintered samples that contained less than 0.15% open porosity reached near full density after HIP. The best conditions to reach full density were found to be attained by presintering and HIP both at 1400 °C. At these conditions, some of the best mechanical properties such as modulus of rupture and Weibull modulus reached 1397 ± 153 MPa and, 10.6, respectively. These values were clearly higher than those obtained from sintered bodies and samples hot isostatically pressed at 1600 °C. Aging degradation of 3Y-TZP materials can be avoided through microstructural design. Fully dense materials with a critical grain size <0.36 μm did not show any evidence of degradation after extreme aging conditions at pressurized autoclaving in hot water at 100, 200, and 260 °C for 8 h. We propose a criterion to predict degradation in air as well as in hot water for the characterized materials based on the microstructure and density control of the samples.
