Abstract

Fabrication and composition of tetragonal zirconia have been extensively studied to enhance its mechanical properties. The present study aims to investigate the mechanical properties of yttrium-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) with ceria addition consolidated via cold isostatic pressing (CIP). 3Y-TZP was prepared by slip casting. Another batch of samples was fabricated via slip casting with the addition of 5 wt% of ceria, followed by CIP. All samples were sintered at 1600 °C. Results showed that the density and hardness of Y-TZP increased with the addition of ceria and use of CIP. The density increased from 91.8% to 98% of theoretical density, and the hardness increased from 10.33 GPa to 14.14 GPa. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images showed that Y-TZP with ceria and consolidated via CIP had more homogenous grain structure with lower porosity. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the phase was 100% tetragonal for both materials. Ceria addition consolidated via CIP are an effective method to improve the mechanical properties of Y-TZP.
