The microwave-assisted acid dissolution of sintered bodies of ties, high-temperature stability, high-temperature strength, 28 structural and electronic advanced ceramic materials was wear resistance, corrosion/oxidation resistance, chemical systematically evaluated. These materials included zirconiainertness, or electrical, optical and/or magnetic properties.1 based ceramics, such as m-ZrO 2 (a non-stabilized monoclinic These materials are used in structural applications (machine zirconia), Ca-PSZ and Mg-PSZ (two partially stabilized and cutting tools, wear components, heat exchangers, aerozirconias), Y-FSZ (a fully stabilized zirconia) and Ce-TZP, space components, automotive engine components such as Yb-TZP and Y-TZP/Ce (three tetragonal polycrystalline turbocharge rotors and roller cam followers, power generation zirconias); alumina-based ceramics, such as Al 2 O 3 , mullite and components, biomedical implants, processing equipment used spinel; ceria-based ceramics, such as CeO 2 -Gd 2 O 3 (cubic ceria for fabricating a variety of polymer, metal and ceramic parts) gadolinia); titania-based ceramics, such as TiO 2
