Composite ceramics of alumina-TZP(3Y) have good mechanical and electrical properties. So, They have been used as high strength refractory materials and thick film substrates, etc. In this study, Composite ceramics of alumina-TZP(3Y) were fabricated by uniaxial pressing and sintering at 1,400, 1,500, and $1,600^{\circ}C$, and their microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated. As the TZP(3Y) content in composite ceramics increases from 20 wt.% to 80 wt.%, the fracture toughness increases monotonically, which seems to be related to the higher relative density and/or toughening mechanism by means of stabilized tetragonal zirconia phase at room temperature. In contrast to the fracture toughness, Vickers hardness of the composite ceramics shows maximum value (1,938 Hv) at a 40 wt.% of TZP(3Y). The result of Vickers hardness is likely to be due to more dense sintered microstructure of composite ceramics than pure alumina and reinforcement of composite ceramics with TZP(3Y), considering that Vickers hardness of pure $Al_2O_3$ is greater than that of TZP(3Y). It is also shown that the $ZrO_2$ particles are $l^{\circ}Cated$ between $Al_2O_3$ grains and suppress grain growth each other.

3Y TZP/SUS316계 경사기능재료를 슬립캐스팅법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 슬립캐스팅 공정에서 석고몰드를 대체하기 위해 알루미나몰드를 제조하였고, 3Y-TZP/SUS316 2상 슬러리의 최적 분산조건을 ESA, 점도계, 침전거동의 관찰 등을 통해 결정하였으며, 석고몰드와 알루미나몰드로 캐스팅한 시험편의 제반 특성을 소결수축율변화, 건조 및 소결거동, 미세구조 관찰 등으로 조사하였다. 그 결과 알루미나몰드를 사용하여 제조된 시험편에서는 석고몰드 사용시 나타나는 표면에서의 오염이 관찰되지 않았으며, 각 층의 두께조절이 쉬웠고 높은 재현성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 특히 알루미나몰드를 사용하여 제조한 SUS316에서는 어떤 열화현상도 관찰되지 않았다. 결국 슬립캐스팅 공정으로 3Y-TZP/SUS316계 경사기능재료를 제조함에 있어서 기존의 석고몰드보다 다공질 알루미나몰드의 사용이 바람직하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The effect of monoclinic $ZrO_2$(pure) and tetragonal $ZrO_2$ containing 5.35wt% $Y_2$$O_3$(Y-TZP) addition on the mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance of $Al_2$$O_3$ ceramic were investigated. The addition of $ZrO_2$(m) and Y-TZP increased sintering density of $Al_2$$O_3$. The vickers hardness increased with increasing the volume fraction of Y-TZP going through a maximum at 20wt%. The hardness of the specimens was found to be depend on the sintering density. With increasing the volume fraction of $ZrO_2$(m) and Y-TZP, the fracture toughness of the composite is increased. This result may be taken as evidence that toughening of ${Al_2}{O_3}$ can also be achieved by the transformation toughening and microcrack toughening of $ZrO_2$. The property of the& shock for ${Al_2}{O_3}$-$ZrO_2$ composites was improved by increasing the volume fraction of monoclinic $ZrO_2$(pure).Grain size increased with increasing the volume fraction of $ZrO_2$.

The effect of aliovalent dopents, $Nb_3O_5$ and MnO, on the grain growth kinetics of 12 mol% ceria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Ce-TZP) was studied. All specimens were sintered at $1550^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes prior to annealing at different temperatures to study grain growth kinetics. Grain growth kinetics of Ce-TZP and 1 mol% $Nb_2O_5$ doped Ce-TZP (Ce-TZP/$Nb_3O_5$) during annealing at 1475, 1550, and $1600^{\circ}C$ adequately matched with square law $(D^2-D_\;o^2=k_at)$. However, grain growth in 1 mol% MnO suppressed grain growth in Ce-TZP by drag force exerted by $Mn^{+2}$ ions which segregated strongly to the positively-charged grain boundaries of Ce-TZP, $Nb_2O_5$ enhanced grain growth by increasing the concentration of vacancies of $Zr^{+4}$ ion and $Ce^{+4}$ ions. Surface analysis with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed the segregation of Mn+2 ions to grain boundaries. The kinetics of grain growth obtained in the base Ce-TZP and the Ce-TZPs with the aliovalent dopants were examined in the context of impurity drag effect and space charge effect.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the connector configuration on the fracture load in conventional and translucent zirconia of three-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Six different three-unit FDPs were prepared (n = 6) from three types of zirconia (3Y-TZP (Katana ML^®), 4Y-TZP (Katana STML^®), and 5Y-TZP (Katana UTML^®)) in combination with two connector configurations (4 × 2.25, 3 × 3 mm). The CoCr master models were scanned, and the FDPs were designed and fabricated using CAD-CAM. The FDPs were cemented on the metal model and then loaded with a UTM at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min until failure. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test were used for statistical analysis (α = .05). RESULTS. Fracture loads of 3Y-TZP (2740.6 ± 469.2 and 2718.7 ± 339.0 N for size 4 × 2.25 mm and 3 × 3 mm, respectively) were significantly higher than those of 4Y-TZP (1868.3 ± 281.6 and 1663.6 ± 372.7 N, respectively) and 5Y-TZP (1588.0 ± 255.0 and 1559.1 ± 110.0 N, respectively) (P < .05). No significant difference was found between fracture loads of 4Y-TZP and 5Y-TZP (P > .05). The connector configuration within 9 mm² was found to have no effect on the fracture loads on all three types of zirconia (P > .05). CONCLUSION. Fracture loads of three-unit FDPs were affected by the type of zirconia. The fracture loads of conventional zirconia were higher than those of translucent zirconia. However, it was not affected by the connector configuration when the connector had a cross-sectional area of 9 mm².

Influence of applied electric field on the low temperature degradation of 3 mol% YaO3 stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals(3Y-TZP) was investigated using X-ray diffractometry of specimens aged under the dc field of 1.1 kV/mm in silicone oil both of 12$0^{\circ}C$-21$0^{\circ}C$. After the aging, the tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation was observed only on the specimen surface of 3Y-TZP faced to the anode. This indicated that the surface was overcrowded with oxygen ions as a result of diffusion of oxygen vacancies toward the cathode-sided surface. To elucidate an influence of the applying time of the electric field on the extent of the degradation of 3Y-TZP in air, specimens were aged fore 0-2 hours under the electric field in the oil bath of 12$0^{\circ}C$ and then subsequently aged for 3h at 22$0^{\circ}C$ in air. The longer the specimens were aged under the field, the more extensive the transformation to the monoclinic phase was on the specimen surface faced to the cathode, probably originated from a high diffusion rate of oxygen ions due to a steep oxygen vacancy concentration gradient.

To improve the low resistance of ceramics to tensile stress, many techniques, for introducing and retaining surface compressive stress have been suggested. In present work, in order to introduce the compressive stress on the surface of TZP ceramics TZP-Al2O3 composites were made with infiltration technique. Highly porous 3Y-TZP pre-sintered specimens were submerged in AlOOH(boehmite) sol and the sol penetrated into them through open pore channels with moderate depth after that specimens were sintered. It was known that controlling the number of infiltration time can vary the amount of Al2O3 phase and the fraction of alumina at surface reached up to 18%. The depth of composite surface layer were 100~200 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and these were acceptable in surface strengthening which were proved by Vickers hardness indentation method.

인공치아용 3Y-TZP와 (Y,Nb)-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ 복합체를 유사 구강분위기인 인공타액 하에서 500-3000N의 하중 조건으로 $10^6$ 횟수까지 헤르찌안 반복하중 피로특성을 조사하였다. 500N의 하중에서 $5{\times}10^5$까지 반복피로 실험결과, 강도 저하 및 균열 현상은 관찰되지 않았다. 피로특성은 SY-TZP가 (T,Nb)-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ 복합체보다 상전이에 의한 응역회복 때문에 우수하였다. 하중값이 증가함에 따라 링 균열에서 방사상 균열로 전이되었을 때 급격한 강도 저하 현상이 발생하였다. 강도 저하 현상은 유사 구강 분위기하에서 반복 하중 접촉 시 발생한 균열을 통해 침투한 인공타액의 화학적 침식으로 더욱 가속화 되었다.

3Y-TZP/12Ce-TZP 의 3층 5층 복합체를 슬립주입법으로 제조하고, 그 기계적 성질을 검토하였다. 지름-원반압축시험법으로 구한 다층복합체의 파괴강도는 327~534MPa이었다. Vickers압입하중의 증가(~300N)와 더불어 압입강도는 전반적으로 감소하였으나, 다층물질은 단상물질에 비하여 우수한 손상저항을 나타내었다. 49N의 하중으로 압입후 다층물질의 4점 꺽임강도는 620~674MPa 인데 반하여 단상 물질의 경우는 129~339MPa을 나타내었다. 압자압입에 의한 다층물질의 인서은 $7.7~13.1\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ 정도를 나타내었다.

고 인성의 Y-TZP 세라믹스에 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$, 1$\mu\textrm{m}$, 3$\mu\textrm{m}$ 알루미나를 20 vol% 분산시킨 후 입자크기에 따른 미세구조와 파괴인성 변화를 관찰하였다. 알루미나 분산 지르코니아 세라믹스는 98% 이상의 높은 밀도를 나타내었으며, 알루미나 입자가 균질하게 분산된 치말한 미세구조를 나타내었다. 알루미나를 분산시킨 시편에서는 순수 지르코니아에 비하면 파괴인성이 증가하였고, 분산시킨 알루미나 입자크기가 증가함에 따라 파괴인성이 증가하였다. 파괴인성은 분산된 알루미나 입자크기가 3$\mu\textrm{m}$일 때 3Y-TZP는 8.6 MPa.m$^{1}$2/에서 12.5 MPa.m$^{1}$2/로, 2Y-TZP는 13.5 MPa.m$^{1}$2/에서 18.9 MPa.m$^{1}$2/로 각각 증가하였는데, 이는 파괴시 알루미나 입자에 의한 균열편향 효과로 인하여 균열길이가 증가하기 때문이었다.
