Abstract: MgO(10.4mol%)-ZrO2 powders coprecipitated were heated isothermally and quenched from 500 to 1450℃, then acid-leached and milled. Afterwards, the prepared powders were characterized by XRD and TEM technologies. The results show that all MgO(10.4mol%) is almost soluble in ZrO2 after isothermal heating at 1450℃ for 2h and quenching; at 750-1350℃, the solubility of MgO is about 2.2mol%; at 500℃, it is 7.7mol%. The rest of MgO exists on the surface of the ZrO2 crystallites.

Key words: coprecipitation, MgO-ZrO2 powder, MgO, solid solubility
