Abstract

Abstract A vapor deposition material which is a sintered body of zirconia containing a stabilizer, wherein the content of monoclinic phase is from 25 to 70%, the content of tetragonal phase is at most 3% and the rest is cubic phase, and of which the bulk density is from 3.0 to 5.0 g/cm3, the porosity is from 15 to 50%, the mode size of pores is from 0.5 to 3 mu m, and the volume of pores of from 0.1 to 5 mu m constitutes at least 90% of the total pore volume.
