Abstract

The phase composition of Y-TZP surfaces has been shown to vary greatly depending on the thermo-mechanical history of the surface. The orientation of these different phases in the surface region is not always random. There is speculation that the alignment of the tetragonal phase before fracturing may play a part in increasing the toughness of these materials. This article deals with an X-ray diffraction analysis of various Y-TZP surfaces with special emphasis on the texture of the different phases. Surfaces which have been ground (and polished), fractured, and aged (200°C) have been examined. In all cases, the monoclinic component that was formed was strongly oriented. The tetragonal phase may or may not be oriented depending on surface treatment. Annealing above the monoclinic-tetragonal transition temperature had little effect on the tetragonal orientation in most cases. Samples fractured at 1000°C have no unusual orientation on the fracture faces.
