Phase Transformation Behavior, Mechanical Properties Under Thermal Stress, and Slag-Induced Erosion of 2-4 mol% CeO-Doped CaO-Stabilized Zirconia.

We investigated the phase transitions, mechanical properties, and chemical durability of a composition of 9 mol% CaO-stabilized zirconia (9CSZ) doped with 2-4 mol% CeO under thermal stress against molten slag. The monoclinic phase fraction of 9CSZ was 7.14% at room temperature, and CSZ doped with 2-4 mol% CeO showed a slightly lower value of 5.
