Transformation-Toughened Ceramics (TTC)

  • Conference paper
Ceramics in Advanced Energy Technologies

Synopsis

The paper defines transformation toughening of ceramics in a rather broad sense: “Toughening” encompasses all types of mechanical-property enhancement which can be achieved by utilizing the tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation of zirconia particles dispersed in a ceramic matrix. Hence, the necessary conditions are outlined to improve the fracture toughness, the strength and the thermal shock properties as well as to enable stable crack growth. A schematic grouping of the great variety of TTC is presented based on characteristic microstructural features; the three main groups being a) partially-stabilized zirconia ceramics, b) dispersed zirconia ceramics and c) complex zirconia systems. This grouping allows a survey-type discussion of the state-of-the-art in science and technology, the deficiences in research and development and the future trends of TTC. It is reported on applications already commercially available and presently being tested in pilot runs.
