Abstract
During sintering studies on zirconia with calcia in the range of 0.50
to 5.0 wt %, properties like crushing strength and thermal shock
resistance were measured. Samples containing 15 to 90% cubic
zirconia phase were subjected to crushing strength test at room
temperature as well as high temperature up to 1200°C and thermal
fatigue test from 1400°C to room temperature.
The results show that mixtures containing up to 2 wt% of cal cia
(uncalcined or calcined up to IOOOC) developed up to 40% of cubic
phase, and exhibited better mechanical strength as well as better
thermal fatigue resistance.
