Xm. Dai et al., STUDY OF PHASE FORMATION IN SPRAY PYROLYSIS OF ZRO2 AND ZRO2-Y2O3 POWDERS, Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 76(3), 1993, pp. 760-762
The phase composition of fine ZrO2 and ZrO-Y2O3 powders prepared by th
e process of spray pyrolysis was detected using XRD. An interesting ph
enomenon has been observed. In this paper, the influence of the temper
ature and carrier gas flux on the phase composition of as-prepared pow
ders is described. The formation and transformation mechanisms of the
powder phase in the process are also discussed.
