Background: The influence of typical manufacturing regimes for producing fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) from yttria partly-stabilized zirconia polycrystals (3Y/4Y/5Y-TZP) on the phase composition is quantified. Methods: Fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) were designed using a CAD process and machined from different Y-TZP blanks from two manufacturers differing in yttria contents. Subsequent to sintering, the FDPs were glaze fired and air-blasted using alumina particles. Phase composition was determined with X-ray diffraction and quantified with Rietveld refinement. Results: The blanks from VITA Zahnfabrik (VITA YZ HT, VITA YZ ST, VITA YZ XT) and Dental Direct (DD Bio ZX2, DD cube ONE, DD cube X2) featured a rhombohedral portion with rather small crystallites and a small monoclinic portion for 3Y/4Y-TZPs, which increased after machining and disappeared after sintering. Glaze firing and air-blasting with alumina particles had no significant influence on the phase composition. Conclusion: The phase history of dental zirconia is revealed, which may have implications on further processing and aging of the FDP (e.g. low temperature degradation) in mouth.

ABSTRACTThe displacive transformations in complex oxides of the type LaNb1-xVxO4 has been studied by x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering for 0 < x < 0.3. X-ray diffraction results indicate that the transformation from the tetragonal high temperature structure (C4h6) to the monoclinic low-temperature structure (C2h6) is higher than first order and that the transformation temperature Tc is depressed significantly by V substitution. Raman scattering results show that the force constant between the nearest (Nb, V)O4 tetrahedral units behave uniquely compared to others. It softens at Tc as a function of composition and it also softens as a function of temperature as Tc is approached from above.

ABSTRACTThe phase composition of Y-TZP surfaces has been shown to vary greatly depending on the thermo-mechanical history of the surface. The orientation of these different phases in the surface region is not always random. There is speculation that the alignment of the tetragonal phase before fracturing may play a part in increasing the toughness of these materials. This article deals with an X-ray diffraction analysis of various Y-TZP surfaces with special emphasis on the texture of the different phases. Surfaces which have been ground (and polished), fractured, and aged (200°C) have been examined. In all cases, the monoclinic component that was formed was strongly oriented. The tetragonal phase may or may not be oriented depending on surface treatment. Annealing above the monoclinic-tetragonal transition temperature had little effect on the tetragonal orientation in most cases. Samples fractured at 1000°C have no unusual orientation on the fracture faces.

Laboratory prepared and commercial Li-Mn spinels were studied. Making use of the dedicated XRD-impedance spectroscopy experimental set-up, direct correlations of the degree of phase transformation (expressed as change of the FWHM of the selected reflection) with electric conductivity was found. Independent XRD measurements and full pattern fitting allowed quantitative estimations of the phase composition of the spinels. It was found that commercial spinels were in fact multiphase, with the content of the additional phase of few weight percent.

Charles Barrett's work in phase transformation at the atomic level helped redefine the underpinnings of the science and practice of metallurgy. His work in low temperature physical chemistry has extended its range. And, perhaps more than anyone else, as a teacher and author, he has helped introduce the technique of X-ray diffraction to the present generations of practicing metallurgists.The relevance of his contributions is demonstrated by the continuing utility of his widely translated metallurgical text, Structure of Metals, which, when it first appeared, made the understanding of metallurgy at the atomic level accessible to a wide audience. Today this book has become a compendium of first principles.

Synthesis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), morphological, and magnetization studies of nano-vanadium doped TiO 2 are reported here. Commercially available anatase nano- TiO 2 and nano-vanadium powders were mixed and heat-treated in air at 600°C. X-ray diffraction revealed a complete anatase to rutile phase transformation at low vanadium content of 5%. Samples annealed under different environments such as Ar and O 2 also exhibited the same trend. Such a phase transformation at relatively low temperature (600°C) has been explained based on enhanced reactivity between vanadium and TiO 2 powders. Scanning electron micrographs elucidated the tunable microstructures from irregular-shaped, in the pristine TiO 2 (x=0.0), to well-faceted polyhedra V-doped (x=0.05 to 0.15) samples. Room temperature magnetization results revealed that upto 10% vanadium doping the samples are diamagnetic in nature and exhibit a paramagnetic transition for higher V content which presumably can be attributed to the presence of vanadium pentaoxide observed in the XRD.

Magnesia, ceria partially stabilized zirconia (Ce,Mg)-PSZ ceramics with net shape microstructure are prepared using a processing method similar to that of conventional Mg-PSZ ceramics, then heat-treated at 1500°C for different time. Microstructure and phase composition of (Ce, Mg)-PSZ samples with different amount of CeO2 doped were investigated using SEM and X-ray diffraction. The addition of CeO2 could impede the formation of monoclinic phase and inhibit the growth of cubic grains. A microstructure with net-shape cubic grains, in which tetragonal precipitates interweave to a nanoporous structure is obtained by adding 4∼8 mol% CeO2 in 10mol% MgO doped zirconia matrix and then heat treatment at 1500°C for different time. The precipitate morophology might be related with the addition of CeO2 and the heat treatment temperatures.

ABSTRACTTetragonal to rhombohedral phase transformation was studied by X-ray diffraction technique on the ground surfaces of tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) and partially stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ) with 2.0 to 5.0 mol% Y2 O3 contents prepared by hot isostatic pressing. The rhombohedral phase increased with increase of Y2 O3 content from 2.0 to 5.0 mol%, and also with the increase of HIPing temperature from 1400 to 1600°C. The stability of the phase was also studied with regard to the surface finish and annealing. The subsequent heat treatment of the samples was found to promote the reverse rhombohedral to tetragonal transformation.
