Abstract The tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation of yttria partially stabilized zirconia by low temperature annealing in air was investigated in the temperature range 100 to 650° C using a sintered body of zirconia containing 2 to 4 mol% Y2O3. The amount of monoclinic phase formed was maximum at about 200° C. Both the decrease in grain size and increase in the yttria concentration were effective in decreasing the critical temperature below which the monoclinic phase was formed. The relationship between the critical temperature (T c) and the grain size was experimentally determined.
