Detection of tetragonal zirconia in alumina–zirconia powders by thermoluminescence
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thermoluminescence (TL) after excitation by UV or X-rays radiation of alumina-zirconia powders is investigated. The composites present five of the characteristic peaks of zirconia at −170, −145, −90, 0 and 95 °C. After a thermal treatment of mixed oxides, a new peak is observed at −35 °C in TL. This peak reveals the presence of stabilized tetragonal zirconia in the material. Moreover by comparing this analysis with those realised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), it can by shown that the TL has one better limit of detection than the XRD.

Detection of foreign phases in doped a-alumina powders by thermoluminescence
The thermoluminescence (TL) after excitation by UV or X-rays radiation of doped α-alumina powders is investigated. In the case of zirconia, the alumina-zirconia composites present five of the characteristic peaks of zirconia at –170, –145, –90, 0 and 95°C. After a thermal treatment of mixed oxides, a new peak is observed at –35°C in TL. This peak reveals the presence of stabilized tetragonal zi...

In this study it was tried to investigate on the effective parameters of the formation and increasing tetragonal zirconia phase in reaction sintering of alumina and zircon. In this way, alumina and zircon powders were mixed by the ratio of 85 to 15 wt.% and sintered at different conditions. Sintering temperature (1500-1650˚C), furnace type (conventional and microwave) and the milling time of r...
متن کاملPreparation Zirconia Toughened Alumina by Deflocculation-Flocculation Route (TECHNICAL NOTE).
Partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) agglomerate toughened alumina has been prepared by the "deflocculation-flocculation" technique, using 2 and 3 mol. % Y2O3-doped zirconia powders. Samples containing up to about 30 vol.% zirconia were obtained. The resulting microstructure seems to be mainly influenced by the physical properties of the starting powders, e.g. agglomerate size and the specific s...
متن کاملElaboration of Alumina-Zirconia Composites: Role of the Zirconia Content on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties
Alumina-zirconia (AZ) composites are attractive structural materials, which combine the high hardness and Young's modulus of the alumina matrix with additional toughening effects, due to the zirconia dispersion. In this study, AZ composites containing different amounts of zirconia (in the range 5-20 vol %) were prepared by a wet chemical method, consisting on the surface coating of alumina powd...
