Fracture toughness enhancement of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline ceramics through magnesia-partially stabilized zirconia addition
Fracture toughness enhancement of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline ceramics through magnesia-partially stabilized zirconia addition
In this work, for the first time, we report a novel method on the fracture toughness enhancement of 3 mol yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (3Y-TZP) ceramics through the incorporation of 8 mol magnesia-partially stabilized zirconia (8 Mg-PSZ) powders having high fracture toughness.
