MICROSTRUCTURAL OBSERVATIONS OF 2 DEFORMED PARTIALLY-STABILIZED ZIRCONIA CERAMICS USING ACOUSTIC MICROSCOPY
Ceramics containing zirconia exhibit increased fracture toughness because of the transformation mechanism. Because the acoustic microscope yields contrast at regions of differing elastic properties, it is possible to obtain unique information from these regions. Acoustic micrographs of phase-transfo...
