dc.description.abstract<jats:p>The present study investigates the synthesis and characterization of a zirconium oxide (ZrO2)-based metal composite doped with cerium (Ce) and yttrium (Y), using chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) as base metals. These constituents were selected for their superior mechanical properties and compatibility with the ceramic phase. High-purity powders were homogenized via high-energy ball milling, followed by cold pressing and sintering in a controlled atmosphere of hydrogen. The sintering process was conducted at temperatures ranging from 850 °C to 1350 °C to examine the evolution of microstructure, grain growth, and densification. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a homogeneous distribution of phases, with distinct microstructural features attributed to each element at different sintering temperatures. The experimental results revealed that the composite’s density was increased by 30% and porosity was reduced by 61% at a sintering temperature of 1350 °C. The hardness and flexural strength of composite were found to be 23% and 60% higher at 1350 °C, respectively, compared to that at 850 °C, suggesting enhanced mechanical properties due to cerium and yttrium reinforcement within matrix and efficient doping and phase transformation. Overall, incorporation of cerium and yttrium significantly improved mechanical behavior and phase stability of ZrO2–Cr–Ni composite, highlighting its potential for advanced engineering applications.</jats:p>eng
