Abstract

Zirconia is a unique material widely used in engineering, medicine and dentistry as load-bearing structures. Zirconia structures can be shaped either in pre-sintered or sintered states by abrasive machining. However, abrasive machining inevitably induces surface and sub-surface cracks in both pre-sintered and sintered zirconia materials, resulting in poor surface quality and shortened lifespans of zirconia products. This research was undertaken to predict the resistance to machining-induced cracking for pre-sintered and sintered zirconia in nanoindentation using the Sakai model at a peak load of 10 mN and loading rates of 0.1–2 mN/s. The results show that pre-sintered zirconia yielded higher ductility indices and better resistances to machining-induced cracking than sintered zirconia. Both materials revealed the loading rate-independent resistances to machining-induced cracking. This work suggests that pre-sintered zirconia can sustain more mechanical damage and absorb more energy and therefore can be more easily machined than sintered zirconia.
