1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the qualitative and quantitative determination
of the monoclinic phase present in yttria tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP)
powders with an yttria content ≤ 6 mol% using X-ray powder diffraction. This method
is also applicable for determining the monoclinic phase content in monolithic Y-TZP
ceramics with an yttria content of ≤ 6 mol%.
NOTE For quantitative determination of the monoclinic phase present in zirconia with a
higher content of yttria or another stabilizer (e.g. MgO, CaO), this document can
be referenced.
