  • Description: The effects of CaO content and post-heat treatment were investigated on the phase stability and mechanical and thermal properties of Ca-PSZ. ZrO[sub.2] specimens with 5–10 mol% CaO were sintered, and post-heat treatment was performed at 1200 °C for 100 h. Subsequently, to test and analyze the crystal structure and the microstructure, the mechanical and thermal properties of the specimens were evaluated. All specimens were partially stabilized by 5–10 mol% CaO (5CSZ–10CSZ) in a mixed monoclinic and tetragonal phase; however, peaks of the secondary phase of CaZrO[sub.3] were observed in 10CSZ. The ratio of the monoclinic phase decreased from 62.50% (5CSZ) to 21.02% (10CSZ) as the CaO content increased. Additionally, the monoclinic phase ratio decreased from 59.38% (5CSZ) to 19.57% (9CSZ) after the post-heat treatment; an increase to 24.84% was observed for 10CSZ. An increase in Vickers hardness from 676.02 to 1256.25 HV and flexural strength from 437.7 to 842.7 MPa was observed with increasing CaO content. The post-heat treatment resulted in further increases in these values as the CaO content increased from 5CSZ to 9CSZ; however, the Vickers hardness and flexural strength of 10CSZ decreased by approximately 8% and 9%, respectively. The thermal expansion coefficient exhibited the same tendency as the mechanical properties. This coefficient increased from 8.229 × 10[sup.−6] to 9.448 × 10[sup.−6] K[sup.−1] with increasing CaO content and was enhanced after the post-heat treatment in 5CSZ to 9CSZ; however, the thermal expansion coefficient of 10CSZ decreased by approximately 4% after the post-heat treatment. The mechanically and thermally stable tetragonal phase increased, and the monoclinic phase decreased as the doped Ca replaced the Zr sites, as was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The post-heat treatment and the increased Ca addition further facilitated the replacement of Zr sites by Ca. However, at high Ca concentrations of 10CSZ, an equilibrium phase of CaZrO[sub.3] was formed as a secondary phase at the post-heat treatment temperature, resulting in low performance.
