Concerning industrial applications – there is a need to investigate wear resistance of such material . Mechanical property degradation in zirconia, known as „ageing”,due to the progressive spontaneous transformationof the metastable tetragonal phase into the monoclinic phase. This behavior is well known in the temperature range above 200°C in the presence of water vapor Without the occurrence of monoclinic phase, a better wear resistance of the Y-TZP with a high fracture toughness is expected The wear resistance and amount of m-phase of Y-TZP as a function of grain size Effects of material properties and testing parameters on wear properties of fine-grain zirconia TZP/ Chih-Chung T.

Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals Thermal etching, hot pressing, pressureless sintering MScEng Grażyna Kulesza Interdyscyplinarne studia doktoranckie z zakresu inżynierii materiałowej z wykładowym językiem angielskim
Thermal etching The thermal etching is performed in a furnace or kiln under a controlledatmospherechosen to the character of etched phase (phases), sometimes it may be vacuum(but also in specific cases) and comprises the following successive stages:rapid rise in the temperature of the furnace to a temperature plateau,maintaining the temperature at theplateau for fewminutes,lowering the temperature to the final temperature. After this treatment the grain boundaries, pores and other microstructures become distinct due to reconstruction by surface diffusion which tends to minimize the total surface energy of the crystals.

Hot pressing • In the ceramic industry many methods of forming are used e.x.: • pressing • forming at elevated temperatures • slip casting • thermoplastic forming • vibrating • To choose proper forming method is determined by: • shape • size • the required dimensional accuracy • Hot pressing requires moisture powder to a few percent Interdyscyplinarne studia doktoranckie z zakresu inżynierii materiałowej z wykładowym językiem angielskim
Hot pressing • Hot pressing has many advantages: • possibility to obtain high density compacts • forming of non-plastic materials • high strength • dimensional accuracy • sharp edges • high efficiency, low waste • introducing of automation and mechanization • but also disadvantages: • forming limited shapes • cutouts and holes in the same direction like the pressing direction • inhomogeneous densification along the direction of the applied pressure Interdyscyplinarne studia doktoranckie z zakresu inżynierii materiałowej z wykładowym językiem angielskim
Hot pressing Pressing is carried out in dense, rigid metal or graphite molds with smooth walls. It is high-pressure compression mostly 30 MPa (sometimes even till 100 MPa) pc H pc ρ ρ – relative density κ – pressing coefficient p – pressing pressure κ Interdyscyplinarne studia doktoranckie z zakresu inżynierii materiałowej z wykładowym językiem angielskim
Hot pressing The decisive point is size and shape of grains. Very hard to form is fine powder, this situation leads to the inhomogenity of the texture* Use of thicker grains (granules) reduces the risk of cracks. For this purpose, the granulation is needed. *Texture - the spatial distribution of elements of the structure Interdyscyplinarne studia doktoranckie z zakresu inżynierii materiałowej z wykładowym językiem angielskim
Hot pressing An important parameter characterizing if the element is properly pressed is bulk density. Bulk density is defined as weight ratio to the volume of powder poured into the form. where: ρ – bulk density m – weight ratio V – volume of poured powder a) regular loose, b) single chessboard, c) double chessboard, d) pyramidal, e) tetraedrical Interdyscyplinarne studia doktoranckie z zakresu inżynierii materiałowej z wykładowym językiem angielskim

Pressureless sintering Pressureless sintering is the sintering of a powder compact (sometimes at very high temperaturesorrelativelylowtemperatures, depending on the powder) without applied pressure. The powder compact (if ceramic) can be created by slip casting into a plaster mould, then the final green compact can be machined if necessary to final shape before being heated to sinter. Particular advantages of this powder technology include: Very high levels of purity and uniformity in starting materials Preservation of purity, due to the simpler subsequent fabrication process (fewer steps) that it makes possible Stabilization of the details of repetitive operations, by control of grain size during the input stages Absence of binding contact between segregated powder particles – or "inclusions" (called stringering) – as often occurs in melt processes No deformation needed to produce directional elongation of grains Capability to produce materials of controlled, uniform porosity.

Fracture toughness Fracture Toughness is ability of material to resist fracture when a crack is present(The more energy is needed to grow a crack, the higher the toughness of the material). General factors affecting the fracture toughness of material are: temperature, strain rate, presence of structure defects, presence of stress concentration (notch) on the specimen surface. Stress intensity factor: K = σ(πa)1/2f(r,θ) where: σ – normal stress 2a- size of the crack • Three types of stress intensity factors: • the opening mode KI • the sliding mode KII • the tearning mode KIII Interdyscyplinarne studia doktoranckie z zakresu inżynierii materiałowej z wykładowym językiem angielskim

Crack Bridging • Ligaments can be formed by mechanical interlocking of the grains; • These ligaments will make it more difficult to open the crack at a given applied stress and will increase fracture toughness; • This mechanism is important in frictionally bonded fiber composites; • In these materials the final failure is not the result of propagation of a single crack. Illustration of crack bridging mechanisms with debonding and fiber pullout Interdyscyplinarne studia doktoranckie z zakresu inżynierii materiałowej z wykładowym językiem angielskim
Transformation Toughening • Some materials can transform from one crystal structure to another; • Commonly this transformation is thermal, but in particular cases it is stress-induced; • One uses the tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation. The monoclinic structure is less compacted than tetragonal structure, and the theory says that increment of this volume closes the crack tips. This causes the toughening effect. • Zirconia is the most important material due to transformation toughening behavior.
