Phase stability and microstructure morphology of microwave-sintered magnesia-partially stabilised zirconia

In this work, microwave heating approach was introduced into the preparation process of zirconia materials to overcome tricky technical defects during traditional electric arc furnace method. Magnesia-partially stabilised (MgO-PSZ) with enhanced stability and a uniform microstructure prepared via ZrO2 sample manufactured by The effects on phase properties, microstructure, surface morphology MgO-PSZ were evaluated X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) Scanning electron microscopy, obtained results suggested that rate improved from initial value 81.19%–94.82% after at 1300 °C for 1 h. As result martensitic conversion material, m-ZrO2 peaks suppressed same time. Additionally, similar changing trend noticed in XRD pattern, spectrum, FT-IR indicating decrease content treated products. Furthermore, microwave-sintered contrast raw sample, became relatively more smooth. This study determined optimal conditions material performance, can provided as good foundation developing further related research preparing technology.
