Effect of sintering holding time on low-temperature degradation of 3 mol-% yttria stabilised zirconia was investigated. Yttria stabilised zirconia samples were sintered using a two-step sintering cycle. The samples were initially heated to 1500°C with the heating rate of 10°C min−1, held for 1 minut...
