文摘The effects of shock loading on the morphology,grain growth during heating and phase transforma- tion of ZrO_2 have been investigated.It is shown that shock loading may be efficiently used to modify submicron ceramic powders with nanocrystalline structure.After shock loading,the critical diameter of ZrO_2 particles transformed from tetragonal to monoclinic decreased due to stored strain energy. Annealing of powders resulted in reversible transformation to the tetragonal without considerable grain growth up to 1200℃.
