Abstract

Microstructural development associated with diffusionless phase transformation was investigated in sintered ZrO2-10-60 mol% CeO2 ceramics cooled rapidly from a high temperature, using TEM and XRD techniques. The results show that (112) reflections appeared and a domain structure was found in ZrO2-20-40 mol% CeO2 samples, which is a result of c-t′ diffusionless transition, while the structure of the ZrO2-60 mol% CeO2 sample was fully stabilized zirconia, in which no forbidden reflections of c-ZrO2 appeared. Finally, plate martensite and lath martensite structure were found in the ZrO2-10 mol% CeO2 sample; the former is the tetragonal phase with internal twins and the latter is the twinned monoclinic phase.
