Characteristics of yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia powder used in optical fiber connector ferrule

چکیده
The tetragonal to monoclinic (t ! m) phase transformation during low temperature ( 100 8C) degradation (LTD) of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) sintered in air at different temperatures was investigated. It is found that the sintering temperature affected the density, crystalline phase and microstructure of the sintered body, as well as the LTD behavior. Also, the onset time of the occurrence of m-ZrO2 in the annealed samples during LTD was longer than the unannealed samples. # 2004 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.

There is interest in using zirconia for biomedical applications as ball heads for total hip prostheses. Two potential types are under discussion: partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) and tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (TZP) materials. Because of its enhanced material properties, TZP stabilized with yttria is favourable. To eliminate high amounts of natural radioactive impurities, the precursor...
