Monoclinic zirconium dioxide compositions of formula ZrO2–Al2TiO5 containing 0, 2, and 3.5% Al2TiO5 are studied. The aim of the research is to study the effect of aluminum titanate additives on the parameters of the monoclinic zirconium dioxide crystal lattice and sintering of the resulting product. The formation of a solid solution of aluminum titanate in monoclinic zirconium dioxide is confirmed using SEM and x-ray phase analysis. Sintered products are made from monoclinic zirconium dioxide with aluminum titanate additives as a proof of concept.
