Abstract
In this paper, the influence of transition metals on phase stability of zirconia in 3â¯mol% Y2O3 doped tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y-TZP) in hydrothermal environments was reported. 3Y-TZP with and without stainless-steel or CoCr metal stains on the sample surface were subjected to different isothermal treatments in water vapor, and their respective monoclinic fractions were quantified by confocal Raman spectroscopy. The outputs of these spectroscopic experiments revealed transition metals conspicuously could stabilize the tetragonal zirconia polymorph in the monolithic zirconia, possibly due to the occurrence of off-stoichiometric chemistry in the presence of metal stains.
