Popis: This paper reports that polycrystalline monoclinic (m), tetragonal (t), and cubic (c) ZrO[sub 2], sintered at 1500[degrees]C, were annealed in the cubic stability field and rapidly cooled to permit the displacive c [yields] t[sup 1] transformation to occur in compositions containing 0-6 mol% Y[sub 2]O[sub 3]. The bulk fracture toughness of coarse-grained ([gt] 25[mu]m) m, t[sup 1], and c zirconias were compared with conventionally sintered, fine-grained (typically less than 1 [mu]m) materials. The ferroelastic monoclinic and tetragonal zirconias were more than twice as tough as paraelastic cubic zirconia.
