Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) ceramics have excellent mechanical properties. However, such materials cannot undergo plastic deformation at room temperature due to their high hardness and brittleness values, hindering machinability. To overcome these limitations, we propose a zirconia-yttria-titania ceramics, based on zirconia containing 3mol% yttria and up to 15mol% titania. The zirconia-yttria-titania powders were synthesized by co-precipitation method, uniaxially pressed and sintered at 1400?C/5 h. Sample characterizations were carried out by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and mechanical properties through Vickers hardness and toughness measurements. Compared to the Y-TZP ceramics, the yttria stabilised tetragonal zirconia ceramics co-doped with 10mol%Ti showed noticeable increase of tetragonality parameter, higher toughness and lower hardness values, indicating plasticity at room temperature. Furthermore, the atomistic simulation by Density Functional Theory methodology suggests the occurrence of spatial arrangement of the atoms, explaining the proposed plasticity.
