Abstract

A review is presented of experimental observations of the mechanism and crystallography of the martensitic tetragonal to monoclinic transformation occurring both in dispersed tetragonal ZrO2 particles in partially stabilized zirconia and in polycrystalline tetragonal zirconia. Preliinary results of determination of the orientation relationship and habit plane for the stress-activated transformation in a CeO2 –stabilized TZP ceramic are reported and compared with predictions of the crystallographic theory for the transformation. This orientation relationship is such that (100)m//(100)t and [001]m//[001]m, and for this variant of the orientation relationship the habit plane is approximately ( 301 )t. These results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. Progress in the application of the formal theory of martensitic transformations to the transformations in both types of system is examined critically and implications for theories of transformation toughening are discussed.

Attention is also given to tetragonal orthorhombic and orthorhombic monoclinic transformations occurring in Zro2 particles in thin foil specimens of partially stabilized zirconia. Formation of a metastable orthorhombic phase appears a possible, but not essential, intermediate stage in the tetragonal to monoclinic transition. However, present evidence strongly suggests that the orthorhombic structure only occurs in those particles experiencing the relaxed matrix constraints typical of thin foil specimens.
