Phase segregation of aged MgCSZ–MgO directionally solidified eutectic composites

The improvement of the thermomechanical properties of Mg-partially stabilized zirconia after appropriate thermal treatments is well known. Most studies in this subject have been conducted in polycrystalline materials produced by solid-state reaction. In this work, we analyze the segregation behavior...

L.AgeingMechanical propertiesEutecticsMgOMg2Zr5O12ZrO2The improvement of the thermomechanical properties of Mg-partially stabilized zirconia after appropriate thermal treatments is well known. Most studies in this subject have been conducted in polycrystalline materials produced by solid-state reaction. In this work, we analyze the segregation behavior and mechanical properties of solidified eutectic composites of the ZrO2–MgO system, where MgO lamellae or fibers are embedded into a cubic Mg-stabilized zirconia (MgCSZ) containing ∼18 mol% MgO. The eutectics have been aged at 1240 or 1225°C for periods varying between 2 and 24 h. This treatment results in the progressive phase separation of the MgCSZ matrix into different mixtures of tetragonal (t), monoclinic (m), δ (Mg2Zr5O12), and MgO phases. Two types of segregation are observed, according to whether the Mg-rich phase is the metastable δ phase (type I) or MgO (type II). Both types may coexist in the same sample but type I predominates at 1240°C and type II at 1225°C. Type I is mainly of the t + δ type, although for long ageing time the t precipitates transform to monoclinic symmetry, resulting in a final m + δ segregation scheme. In type II segregation, the monoclinic phase is the main Mg-poor product. Hardness and toughness have been studied by the Vickers indentation method. The indentation fracture toughness KIC increases progressively with ageing time and for 24 h treatment is more than doubled with respect to the as-processed eutectic, while the hardness decreases slightly.The authors acknowledge financial support through grant PID2021-124863OB-I00 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033; CEX2023-001286-S funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/ 501100011033 and DGA funds to T02_23R research group.With funding from the Spanish government through the "Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence" accreditation (CEX2023-001286-S).Peer reviewedWiley-VCHAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (España)Diputación General de AragónConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202520252025info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/390170reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
