Monitoring techniques for nanocrystalline stabilized zirconia from some medical prosthesis
Abstract
The paper proposes the investigation of influence of doping with Ce ions to the phase stability and mechanical properties of zirconium dioxide. For this investigation, we used X-ray and neutron diffraction, electron microscopy and microstructure characterization, including Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy (RUS) for nondestructive evaluation of physical-mechanical properties of ceramic made from zirconia. The RUS method has the advantage of being rapid, has a good accuracy and can be used in quality control of the object. © 2016 Taylor and Francis Group, London.
