Abstract

Low solute tetragonal (t) ZrO2 precipitates within a high solute cubic (c) ZrO2 matrix of a Zr-rich CaO-MgO-ZrO2 alloy were studied via high resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The precipitates underwent displacive thin foil transformations to orthorhombic (o) or monoclinic (m) symmetry during sample preparation or observation in the HREM. The orthorhombic phase grew in a facetted manner from a relatively equiaxed nucleus, consuming entire t-ZrO2 variants in multi-variant precipitates. Monoclinic laths nucleated it t/c or t/t interfaces and rapidly grew across portions of the parent phase. The crystallography of these transformations is discussed.
