Abstract

Constant stress compression creep tests were conducted on 8-mol%-yttria-stabilized cubic-zirconia (8YCZ) over stress (\sigma), temperature, and grain-size ranges from \sim 20 to 300 MPa,1673 to 1773 K, and 4 to 8 _m, respectively. Creep data were analyzed in terms of the relationship \dot{\epsilon}, x \sigma^n where \dot{\epsilon} is the strain rate and n the stress exponent. Although the experimental data yielded a stress exponent of n \approx2, analysis of the results with compensation of significant concurrent grain growth revealed that the true stress exponent was n \approx1. The results were consistent with deformation by the Coble creep mechanism. Experiments at stresses greater than \sim 100 Mpa revealed a transition from grain-size-dependent Coble diffusion creep to grain- ize-independent intragranular dislocation creep.
