The invention provides tetragonal-phase nano-composite zirconia
powder and a preparation method thereof, a sintered body and a preparation method and application of the sintered body. The chemical general formula of the tetragonal-phase nano-composite zirconia
powder is ZrEraCebPrcOd, wherein a is more than or equal to 0.005 and less than or equal to 0.1, b is more than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.15, c is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.08, and d is equal to (4+3a+4b+3c) / 2. The preparation method sequentially comprises the steps of
coprecipitation,
water washing,
drying and
roasting, wherein the preparation process is simple, mild, green and
environmentally friendly. The preparation method of the sintered body comprises the following steps: preparing tetragonal-phase nano-composite zirconia
powder into a pre-sintered body, and
sintering the pre-sintered body in a reducing
mixed gas containing H2 and N2, wherein in the sintered body, the
molar ratio of Ce<3+> to Ce<4+> is (0.05-20):1. According to the invention, the sintered body is high in density and not easy to age at low temperature, the color can be regulated and controlled through a
sintering process, and the application range is wide.
