Abstract
Abstract A method for preparing a ceramic article comprising compacting a particulate including a primary oxide and a secondary oxide to form a blank. The primary oxide is ZrO 2 . The secondary oxide is selected from the group consisting of MgO, CaO, Y 2 O 3 , Sc 2 O 3 , rare earth oxides and combinations thereof. The blank is sintered in contact with oxide selected from the group consisting of MgO, CaO, Y 2 O 3 , Sc 2 O 3 and rare earth oxides. The zirconia alloy ceramic articles produced have a cubic phase case and a tetragonal phase core.
