High-temperature X-ray diffraction measurements were performed in air
to investigate the diffusionless tetragonal-cubic (t'-c) phase transit
ion. The t'-c phase transition occurs reversibly between 1024 degrees
and 1083 degrees C in the ZrO2-16 mol% ScO1.5 solid solution. This tra
nsition point is located in the vicinity of the cubic solubility limit
within the tetragonal plus cubic two-phase region in the temperature-
composition phase diagram. On the basis of the metastable-stable featu
res, the experimental data of phase diagram in the literature are crit
ically reviewed and a reasonable metastable-stable phase diagram is pr
oposed.
