Microstructural Characteristics of 3Y-TZP Ceramics and Their Effects on the Flexural Strength

This work evaluates the effects of grain growth and tetragonality of the t-ZrO<sub>2</sub> phase on the mechanical properties of 3Y-TZP ceramics. Samples were sintered at 1475 °C for 2 h, and at 1600 °C for 2, 12, or 24 h. After sintering, the tetragonal ZrO<sub>2</sub> polyt...
