Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composition comprises a zirconia powder, in which 55% or more thereof is monoclinic, and a stabilizer capable of suppressing phase transition of zirconia. An average particle diameter of zirconia particles and particles of the stabilizer is 0.06 μm to 0.17 μm. At least a portion of the stabilizer does not form a solid solution with zirconia.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A zirconia pre-sintered body in which a zirconia powder is not sintered yet but solidified, wherein the pre-sintered body comprises yttria, 55% or more of the zirconia is monoclinic, at least a portion of yttria does not form a solid solution with the zirconia, the zirconia pre-sintered body comprises 3 mol % to 7.5 mol % of yttria based on a total amount of moles of zirconia and yttria, a mixture of zirconia and yttria for producing the zirconia pre-sintered body is not fired at a temperature of 700° C. or higher before producing the zirconia pre-sintered body, and when a first translucency and a second translucency are compared, the first translucency is 85% or more of the second translucency, the first translucency being of a first sintered body produced by firing the pre-sintered body for 30 minutes at a temperature of 1550° C., and the second translucency being of a second sintered body produced by firing the pre-sintered body for 120 minutes at a temperature of 1550° C.
