Q2. How long did it take to raise the temperature of the zirconia plate?
It took 30 min to raise the temperature from 100° to 1600°C and 5 min from 1600° to 1750°C, and then it was held at 1750°C for 7 min.
Q3. At what temperature is the phase boundary of the ZrO2x phase?
The lower phase boundary of the solidus of ZrO2−x phase lies within the composition range 1.64 < O/Zr < 1.70 from 1815° to 2065°C, and 1.925 to 2.0 at 1300°C.21,22
Q4. What was the effect of the Kirkendall effect?
The larger pores in ZrO2 were attributed to the Kirkendall effect, since Zr diffused to the right more rapidly than Ti diffused toward the left.
Q5. What was the composition of the crucible?
Quantitative composition analyses were carried out based on the principle of Cliffs-Lorimer with an energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS; Model ISIS 300, Oxford Instrument Inc., London, U.K.) attached to the transmission electron microscope.
Q6. What caused the compositional and microstructural variations observed in the present study?
In other words, the compositional and microstructural variations observed in the present study were mainly caused by the interfacial reactions between titanium and zirconia.
Q7. What was the reaction between the zirconia plate and the titanium melt?
The zirconia plate became immersed in the titanium melt above the melting temperature of titanium (1670°C), causing an extensive interfacial reaction between the ZrO2 plate and the titanium melt.
Q8. What was the temperature of the crucible?
In the regions far away from the interface, the oxygen content of titanium was negligible and the zirconia was slightly reduced to ZrO1.9 after firing.
Q9. What was the process of sintering the zirconia plate?
Cross-sectional TEM specimens perpendicular to the interface of zirconia and titanium were prepared by standard procedures of cutting, grinding, polishing, and ion milling.
Q10. At what temperature did the a-Zr(O) retain its phase?
While the lowest temperature for cubic oxygen-deficient zirconia is reported to be 1525°C,20 this retained cubic phase was attributed to the presence of Y.
Q11. What was the process of sintering the zirconia crucible?
The zirconia crucible was then loaded into an argon atmosphere furnace with tungsten mesh heating elements (Model 4156, Centorr Inc., Nashua, NH), whose chamber was evacuated to 10−4 torr and then refilled with argon to 1 atm.
Q12. What is the composition of the grain boundaries of titanium?
At the right portion of this micrograph, a featherlike phase existed in the grain boundaries of titanium, being identified as one of the Ti–Zr–O compounds.
Q13. What is the morphology of the lamellar zirconia?
These results indicate that zirconia was reduced to oxygen-deficient zirconia by titanium, which was also featured by its dark gray color.
Q14. What was the orientation relationship of the lamellae of Ti2ZrO?
During cooling, the lamellae of Ti2ZrO precipitated in a-Ti with an orientation relationship of {110}Ti2ZrO //{100}a-Ti and 〈111〉Ti2ZrO //〈011〉a-Ti.
