The inuence of alumina additive
from 1 to 5 wt. % upon the microstructure and ionic conductivity
of ZrO
2–8 mol % Y
2O
3 (YSZ)
ceramics, deposited by means of plasma spray technology, was
investigated. Plasma sprayed films have been analysed using
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray analysis (XRD). The
microstructural examination reveals that alumina addition
decreases the porosity and microcracks of plasma sprayed YSZ.
Analysis of SEM micrographs shows that the amount of 5 wt. %
alumina substantially improves the microstructure of plasma
sprayed zirconia. The crystal structure of all plasma sprayed
samples consists of cubic zirconia and
-alumina. By
the data of ionic conductivity measurements, no signicant
influence of annealing at 1073 K for 10 h was noticed on
characteristic temperature dependences of
for plasma
sprayed YSZ. Alumina doping from 2 to 5 wt. % considerably
increases the ionic conductivity of plasma sprayed zirconia. The
higher values of ionic conductivity were obtained when 5 wt. % of
Al
2O
3 powder was added to YSZ.

Tirta aliuminio oksido priemaišų (1–5 masės %)
įtaka YSZ – itrio oksidu (8 mol %) stabilizuoto cirkonio oksido –
keramikų mikrostruktūrai ir joniniam laidumui. YSZ keramikos buvo
pagamintos plazminio nusodinimo metodu. Dangos tirtos rentgeno
spindulių difrakcijos (XRD) ir skenuojančios elektroninės
mikroskopijos (SEM) metodais. Eksperimentai parodė, kad Al
2O
3
priedai (2–5 masės %) žymai sumažina dangos porėtumą, jose
sumažėja mikroįtrūkimų. Visų plazminiu purškimu gautų bandinių
kristalinės sandaros pagrindas kubinės gardelės cirkonio
dioksidas ir
aliuminio
oksidas. Ištirtas gautų dangų joninis laidumas. Nustatyta, kad
papildomas plazminių dangų kaitinimas esant 1073 K temperatūrai 10
h neturi didelės įtakos jų joniniam laidumui. 2–5 masės %
aliuminio oksido priedas pagerina YSZ dangų laidumą. Didžiausios
YSZ joninio laidumo vertės gautos naudojant 5 % Al
2O
3
priedą.
