AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing zirconia sintered bodies suffer from poor thermal degradation resistance and mechanical properties, despite having high hydrothermal degradation resistance, due to uncontrolled phase transformations at high temperatures.

Method used

A zirconia sintered body stabilized with a combination of yttrium and another oxide (M) such as Ca, Ba, Sr, Dy, Tb, Gd, Eu, Sm, Nd, or La, with a controlled molar ratio and grain size of 0.20 μm or less, achieved through low-temperature sintering.

Benefits of technology

The solution provides excellent resistance to both hydrothermal and thermal degradation, along with enhanced mechanical properties, maintaining stability and strength under high-temperature conditions.
