The effects of CeO2 addition on the physical, microstructural and mechanical properties of yttria stabilized zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA)

Effects of TiO2 addition on the phase, mechanical properties, and microstructure of zirconia-toughened alumina ceramic composite

“…Regardless of their advantages, ceramic materials exhibit very low toughness which eventually limits their overall applications [2][3][4][5][6].…”

The relationship between microstructure and fracture toughness of zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) added with MgO and CeO2

“…Previous works [9][10][11][12][13][14] have investigated the effects of various additives on the microstructural, mechanical properties, and tool wear of ZTA composites. Furthermore, their analysis has also proven that ZTA composite is an excellent candidate for cutting insert applications.…”

Mechanical properties of La₂O₃ and Nb₂O₅ doped Al₂O₃ ceramics prepared by microwave sintering

“…3(b)]. In other words, LaNbO 4 and LaAl 11 O 18 were formed in-situ during sintering process. It's similar to the previous reports from Zhang et al 9) and Brito et al 22) Meanwhile, the amount of plate-like LaAl 11 18 .…”

“…16) In this study, in order to form LaNbO 4 were ball milled together in corundum jar with zirconia balls media for 12 h in ethyl alcohol. After dried, the mixtures were prepressed into regular bars under a pressure of 100 MPa with suitable amount of 5 wt % solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the binder, and then cold-isostatically pressed under 200 MPa.…”
