Abstract
Despite the excellent mechanical properties reported for 3Y-TZP, this material is susceptible to low-temperature degradation (DBT), which motivated the development of ceramic composites associating ZrO2 and Al2O3 in different proportions (ZTA and ATZ). Data from the present group report the development of polycrystalline ceramic composites with high flexural strength (780-1,000 MPa) and r…
