Popis: Changes in microstructure and phase composition of ceria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Ce-TZP), magnesia and yttria partially stabilized zirconia [(Mg,Y)-PSZ] and magnesia partially stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ) were studied in diluted aqueous HCl, H2SO4 or H3PO4 solutions at a temperature of 390° C and a pressure of 27 MPa. Ce-TZP is corrosion resistant under these conditions in HCl, while Mg-PSZ is attacked severely and (Mg,Y)-PSZ undergoes a surface tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation. All investigated zirconia ceramics suffer severe weight losses and transformation to the monoclinic phase on the surface in H2SO4. Only a small weight gain and a slight increase of m-phase on the surface of the ceramics is found in H3PO4.
