A partially stabilized zirconia sintered body to which yttrium oxide or cerium oxide is added is already known. this house,
The partially stabilized zirconia sintered body containing 3 mol% of yttrium oxide, which is the mainstream, has a drawback that it is strong but inferior in thermal stability. On the other hand, the zirconia sintered body containing 12 mol% of cerium oxide is excellent in thermal stability, but the three-point bending strength is about 50 kg / mm 2, which is inferior in strength. It is considered that the cause is that the grain size of the sintered body is as large as 1 μm or more.

The mechanical properties of this zirconia sintered body are characterized by higher toughness as compared with the zirconia sintered body containing 3 mol% of yttrium oxide, while the strength is about 80 kg / m 2.
and m 2, than conventional oxidation cerium zirconia sintered body has been improved, still the inferior strength of the partially stabilized zirconia sintered body containing yttrium oxide 3 mol%.

子径が２μｍ以下がよいと規定している。The effect of the particle size of the zirconia sintered body on the strength of the zirconia sintered body has been studied for some time. For example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-21184, a zirconia sintered body containing yttrium oxide is added. It is specified that the particle size of the body should be 2 μm or less.

ム系ジルコニア焼結体を初めて得た。In the cerium oxide-based zirconium sintered body disclosed in JP-A-3-159960, the particle diameter of the sintered body is 1.3 to 1.5 .mu.m. It was considered that a zirconia sintered body containing cerium oxide, which has strength equal to or higher than that of the zirconia sintered body containing mol% and is excellent in thermal stability, can be manufactured. Therefore, as a result of diligent study, as a result of studying a cerium oxide-based zirconia sintered body having high strength and excellent thermal stability and a manufacturing method thereof, the particle size of the sintered body was 1
For the first time, a cerium oxide-based zirconia sintered body in which the cerium oxide-based zirconia sintered body was controlled to have a thickness of less than or equal to μm and further less than or equal to 0.5 μm was obtained.

かにし、本発明を完成するに至った。Further, by optimizing the amount of cerium oxide added to 9 to 11 mol% and the amount of calcium oxide added to 0.7 to 1.2 mol%, the crystal phase is completely square. And the three-point bending strength was 100 kg, which was not obtained with the conventional cerium oxide-based zirconia sintered body.
It was also clarified that a zirconia sintered body having a grain size of / mm 2 or more was obtained, and the present invention was completed.

14 mol% and calcium oxide are 0.2 to 1.5 mol%. Further, it is more preferable that cerium oxide is 9 to 11 mol% and calcium oxide is 0.7 to 1.2 mol%.

いない。It is known that calcium oxide has a contribution as a stabilizer and an effect of suppressing grain growth of a sintered body (for example, J. Am. Ceramics Soc., Vol. 73, P. 3269- 32
77 (1990)). However, even the cerium oxide-calcium oxide-based zirconia sintered body in this document has an average particle diameter of 1.04 μm, and a cerium oxide-calcium oxide-based zirconia sintered body having an average particle diameter of 1 μm or less has not been obtained.

高い靭性と強度は得られない。If the amount of calcium oxide added exceeds 1.5 mol%, the proportion of tetragonal crystals decreases because calcium oxide is more likely to form cubic crystals than tetragonal crystals, and the expected high toughness and strength are obtained. Can't get
【００１１】又、酸化カルシウムが０．２モル％未満の
場合には、粒成長抑制効果が小さい為に、期待されるほ
どの高い靭性と強度は得られない。When the calcium oxide content is less than 0.2 mol%, the expected high toughness and strength cannot be obtained because the grain growth suppressing effect is small.

〜１．５モル％であることが好ましい。Therefore, the addition amount of calcium oxide is such that the zirconia crystal phase is mainly tetragonal.
It is preferably ˜1.5 mol%.

化セリウム含有量としては、１４モル％以下でなければ
ならない。また酸化セリウムが７モル％未満では結晶相
が単斜晶であり、高強度が得られない。Since addition of calcium oxide tends to reduce toughness, it is necessary to reduce the cerium oxide content in consideration of this effect. If the toughness value is too low, the strength will fluctuate and the average strength will be lowered, resulting in a sintered body lacking reliability. For this reason, the content of cerium oxide must be 14 mol% or less. If the content of cerium oxide is less than 7 mol%, the crystal phase is monoclinic and high strength cannot be obtained.

焼結体が崩壊さえしてしまう。These sintered bodies have excellent thermal stability, which is a characteristic of cerium oxide-based zirconia sintered bodies. The zirconia sintered body containing 3 mol% of yttrium oxide is 100 to
When annealed at a relatively low temperature of about 300 ° C., a tetragonal crystal is transformed into a monoclinic crystal, resulting in a decrease in strength, and further deterioration causes the sintered body to even collapse.

When the thermal stability was evaluated by measuring the amount of monoclinic crystals formed by an X-ray diffraction test after keeping the composition at 40 ° C. under hydrothermal condition for 24 hours, the conventional zirconia sintered body containing 3 mol% of yttrium oxide was 50%.
% Or more, the cerium-based zirconia sintered body of the present invention does not change from tetragonal to monoclinic at all, or only 5% or less to monoclinic. In addition, it is a zirconia sintered body having excellent thermal stability.

得られない。The raw material powder for producing such a zirconia sintered body is obtained by using zirconium salt, cerium salt and calcium salt to obtain a precipitate by hydrolysis or coprecipitation, and then firing at 600 ° C. or higher. It is essential that the fine powder has an average particle diameter of 1.0 μm or less. Further, fine powder having an average particle diameter of 0.5 μm or less is preferable. If it exceeds this, a dense sintered body having high mechanical strength cannot be obtained.

This makes it possible for the first time to obtain a cerium oxide-based zirconia sintered body in which the particle size of the sintered body is controlled to 1 μm or less, further 0.5 μm or less, according to the present invention, and it is possible to obtain it with the conventional cerium oxide-based zirconia sintered body 100kg / mm which was not possible
