Abstract
The addition of SrO to magnesia-partially stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ) retains the beneficial effects of the contaminant silica as a sintering aid, yet causes the aid to be purged from the sintering body. The advantages of the SrO addition include increased fracture strength and density, a reduction in grain size and slowing down of the decomposition process which accompanies the sub-eutectoid ageing process. This paper describes the microstructural and chemical events leading to the overall improved material.
