Abstract
THE phase diagram for the system, ZrO2–MgO, was re-investigated by means of the quenching technique and a ribbon element diffractometer furnace. Duwez et al.1 had first established a tentative phase diagram for this system. Recently, Hinz and Dietzel2 tried to determine the phase boundaries of the cubic solid solution field. They claimed that 7 moles per cent of MgO is the lowest limit for the formation of single phase cubic solid solutions between 1,800° C and the melting point. Similar results were obtained by Stöcker3. However, it is very probable that in their experiments the specimens containing less than 7 moles per cent MgO had at least partly converted to the monoclinic phase during the quenching.
