Abstract
The 4mol%Sc2O3 doped ZrO2 (4ScSZ) showed a superplastic-like large elongation in a range of strain-rate at 1773K. The large elongation was caused by both of high strain-rate sensitivity and high strain hardening during the deformation. Ion conductivity of the 4ScSZ, deformed superplastically at a relatively high strain-rate region, was higher than that of non-deformed one, suggesting that superplastic deformation can improve its conductivity. These results are discussed with probable microstructural evolution.
