ZrO2 ceramics is a well known material of great industrial interest. However, the undesirable spontaneous phase transformations occur on cooling in pure ZrO2. Additions of oxides-stabilizers such as Y2O3, CaO, MgO, etc. allow us to obtain ZrO2-based solid solutions with the tetragonal and cubic (fluorite) structures at room temperatures. The stabilized states provide the ZrO2 ceramics with improved properties. Combination of stabilized ZrO2 with other materials may significantly improve their mechanical characteristics. The stress or temperature assisted martensite transformation from the tetragonal to the monoclinic modification of the ZrO2 phase is accompanied by a high shear and volume expansion. Due to this behavior the MgO partially stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ) was recently suggested as a reinforced component for TRIP steel.[1] The volume expansion of the Mg-PSZ particles enhances the TRIP effect of the steel matrix. The TRIP effect leads to high strain hardening and high ductility due to the deformation-induced formation of martensite.The information about phase equilibria in the ZrO2 based ceramic systems including stabilized components is of great importance. The phase diagram of the ZrO2–MgO system can be used to explain phase transitions and observed microstructure in the TRIP-matrix composite. Additionally the phase diagram can also help to optimize the chemical compositions and heat treatment procedures of the ceramics. Furthermore, the ZrO2–MgO key system can be further extended by including impurities of industrial material, ie Al2O3 and SiO2 as well as iron oxides and other oxides originating from steel to model the processes in the ceramic material and at the steel/ceramic interface. An assessment of thermodynamic parameters reproducing phase equilibria occurring in the ZrO2–MgO system plays a crucial role in the development of thermodynamic database for ceramic constituent of the TRIP-matrix composite.
