The evaluation was based on the optimization of ZrIO2-CeO2 and ZrO2-CeO1.5 systems, as well as the miscibility gap in CeO1.5-CeO2 system. Except the cubic fluorite structure phase assessed with compound energy model, all the other solution phases were assessed with subsitutional solution model. The model parameters were evaluated through fitting the selected experimental data by means of thermodynamic optimization. A set of parameters with thermodynamics self-consistency was obtained and satisfactorily described the complex relation between y in <CeO2-y> and the partial pressure of oxygen at different temperatures, also the interdependence among miscellaneous factors such as temperature, oxygen partial pressure, the reduction amount of CeO2 as well as the nonstoichiometry in cubic phase <Zr1-xCezO2-x>- The calculated results seem to be reasonable when put into the explanation of pressureless sintering of Ce02-stabilized ZrO2 powder compacts at a controlled oxygen partial pressure.展开更多

The experimental information on the ZrO2-AI2O3, AI2O3-CeO2 systems as well as the isothermal sections of the ternary system at 1673 K and 1873 K is well reproduced. According to the assessed isothermal section at 1723 K, no alumina dissolves into the tetragonal zirconia phase. Specimens with different alumina content are fabricated from commercial 12 mol pct CeO2-stabilized ZrO2 powder (12Ce-ZrO2). The thermodynamic properties are consistent with the observed microstructure, which present a combination of tetragonal phase and alumina grains.展开更多
The phase constitution of a composite consisting of 12 at. pct CeO_2-3 at. pct Y_2O_3-ZrO_2/2.5 wt pct Al_2O_3 (3Y12Ce2.5Al)was determined by thermodynamic calculation.

It is a combination of 36.9 at. pct cubic phase and 63.1 at. pct tetragonalphase at 1450℃. Green compacts were fabricated by cold isostatic pressing with powder synthesized by coating technique,and pressureless sintered at 1450℃. The fracture toughness and Vickers hardness, evaluated by the micro-indentation method,are 2.02 MPa·m^(1/2) and 11.395 GPa, respectively. The addition of 3 at. pct Y_2O_3 to 12 at. pct CeO_2-ZrO_2 ceramic leads todrastically decrease in toughness compared to composites without yttria stabilizer. No monoclinic phase is detected on thesudece of all the ground samples. The high content of cubic phase and lack of phase transformation can be attributed to thelow toughness based on the thermodynamic prediction.展开更多
