An analysis is presented of grain growth and densification of yttria-ceria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y, Ce-TZPs) using both isothermal and non-isothermal techniques. The characteristics of Y, Ce-TZPs are compared to those of Y-TZP and Ce-TZP and the effect of increasing ceria concentration at constant yttria content is evaluated. During non-isothermal sintering two regimes are distinguished: below 900–1000°C the neck area increases strongly by surface diffusion accompanied by only very little densification and grain growth, in the temperature interval 900–1000°C to 1200°C the materials densify to 95% of the theoretical density via a grain boundary diffusion mechanism and grain growth accelerates. Dense materials with grain sizes of 0·15–0·20 μm can be prepared by isothermal sintering at 1100–1150°C.
In Y, Ce-TZP it is yttrium that segregates to the grain boundaries at 1150–1400°C. The yttrium content of the grain boundaries in Y, Ce-TZP is independent of temperature and ceria-concentration under the investigated experimental conditions. Grain growth in dense TZP is controlled by a solute drag mechanism at elevated temperatures (>1200°C); this drag is highest for Y-TZP, absent for Ce-TZP and moderate for Y, Ce-TZP.read more

Effect of dopants on the phase stability of zirconia-based plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of stabilizer type on the phase stability of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) produced by air plasma spraying was explored, and it was shown that decomposition of the non-transformable tetragonal phase occurs to a greater or lesser extent for all dopants at these temperatures, depending on the dopant kind, amount and on the presence of Al2O3 and SiO2 impurities.

Sintering behaviors of ceria and gadolinia-doped ceria
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the sintering behavior of gadolinia-doped ceria powders with large and fine particle size and found that grain growth rate was much smaller than that of ceria, while densification rate was considerably larger.
