In this study, the effect of Zr-doping on the sintering, microstructure development, and mechanical properties of polycrystalline Al2O3 was examined. It was found that Zr-doping improved the sintering and mechanical strength of the material while maintaining a controlled grain size and homogeneous distribution of ZrO2. Microhardness showed little dependence on Zr-doping, suggesting that the improved mechanical strength was primarily due to improved density and microstructural refinement.
In the present work, the effect of Zr-doping on the sintering, microstructure development, and mechanical properties of polycrystalline Al2O3 was studied. Dopant concentrations of 830 and 2070ppm cationic ratio of Zr in Al2O3 corresponding to 2000 and 5000 wt. ppm of ZrO2 in Al2O3 , respectively, were used. The sintering schedule of undoped as well as Zr-doped Al2O3 samples was optimised following a series of precoarsening experiments. The Zr-doped Al2O3 ceramics exhibited controlled grain size and improved density. Upon increasing the Zr-dopant concentration from 830 cat. ppm to 2070 cat. ppm. Zr-doped Al2O3 ceramics having a refined microstructure with a homogeneous distribution of controllably grown ZrO2 in Al2O3 matrix was obtained. Microhardness of the Zr-doped samples showed negligible dependence with Zr-doping, whereas mechanical strength was found to improve with it. The improvement in strength was attributed to the combined effect of improved sinter density, microstructural refinement, and grain-boundary strengthening.
