CYASZ and MYASZ were made by different adding method of Y_2O_3,co-precipitated and mixed,respectively. The results show that CYASZ is of uniform microstructure with fine grain size,however,MYASZ is of inhomogeneous microstructure due to the inhomogeneous distribution of ytrria. Comparing with CYASZ,the density and the strength of MYASZ are decreased,but the toughness is changed only a little. Under sliding wear test,the wear resistance of CYASZ is better than that of MYASZ.展开更多
