A small amount of iron oxide (Fe2O3) was added to the commercially available 3 mol% Y-TZP as a sintering aid over a temperature range of 1250°C to 1500°C. Sintered samples were then evaluated to determine the bulk density, Vickers hardness, and fracture toughness. In addition, hydrothermal ageing ex...
