Effect of the Nature of Anions of Aluminum Salts Used to Synthesize a Precursor of the Al2O3-ZrO2 Ceramics on the Stabilization of the Tetragonal Modification of Zirconium Dioxide

Zharnylskaya, A. L.; Volkhin, V. V.; Reuther, H.

Samples of a precursor for an aluminum oxide ceramics reinforced with zirconium oxide were synthesized by hydrolysis of various aluminum salts in the presence of a ZrO2 sol under conditions of urea decomposition at 90 degrees C and pH < 4 maintained, with hydrolysis products deposited onto the surface of ZrO2 sol particles. It was found that the nature of a salt anion affects the interaction of hydrolysis products of the aluminum cation with the surface of ZrO2 sol particles. The structure of products formed in thermal treatment of samples of a precursor for Al2O3-ZrO2 (T = 1250 degrees C) was characterized by X-ray phase analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The phase transition temperatures of the oxides Al2O3 and ZrO2 contained in the precursor were estimated using the results of thermal analysis of the samples in the temperature range 20-1300 degrees C.
