Abstract
Thermal shock fracture behaviour of various kinds of zirconia ceramics such as magnesia partially stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ), yttria and ceria-doped tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP and Ce-TZP), Y-TZP/A1203 composites and yttria-doped cubic stabilized zirconia (Y-CSZ) was evaluated together with that of alumina, mullite, silicaon nitride and silicon carbide by quenching method using water, methyl alcohol and glycerin as quenching media. Thermal shock fracture of all ceramics was proceeded by the thermal stress due to convective heat transfer accompanied by boiling of solvents under the presents experimental conditions. Thermal shock resistance of zirconia based ceramics increased with increasing the fracture strength, but that of Y-TZP and Y-TZP/Al203 composites was anormalously lower than the predicted value, since the toughening mechanism of zircona by the stress-induced phase tranformation did not sufficiently function against the thermal stress fracture of Y-TZP based ceramics.
