In partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ), the tetragonal phase transforms readily to monoclinic under the influence of stress. From X-ray diffraction studies of PSZ having a large amount of tetragonal phase, G~ trvie et al.[1] and Gupta et al.[2] confirmed that the transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic occurs by diamond grinding. Porter and Heuer [3] observed that the tetragonal zirconia precipitates in the normal PSZ with a cubic matrix change to the monoclinic structure under stress in the neighbourhood of a crack tip. However, the phase transformation of the cubic zirconia in normal PSZ seems to have been little studied. The present study is concerned with the effect of stress on the phase transformation of cubic zirconia containing sufficient solute stabilizer. A mixture of commercial zirconium dioxide, yttrium oxide and some additives to promote sintering was pressed into a disc of 15mm diameter x 3ram, calcined and then sintered at 1670 C for 4h in air. The chemical analysis of such specimens is given in Table I, together with the phases detected by X-ray diffraction technique. As shown in Table I, a-A1203 and/or/3-SIO2 are observed in some specimens. The remainders of A1203 and SiO2 are thought to be present as glassy phases in grain boundaries. The specimens were submitted to various stress states, such as polishing with SiC abrasive paper, diamond grinding and so on. The change of the crystal structure in the surface layer before and after polishing by SiC abrasive paper as well as grinding by the diamond wheel was examined by an X-ray diffractometer with CoKc~ radiation at 40 kV and 80 mA. The crystal structure of the surface layer formed by polishing is closely related to the roughness of the abrasive powder on the paper. Specimens submitted to the severest polishing, in which the roughness of the surface was of approximately 2~ m, were mainly studied in this
