Ceramic compositions within the systems Dy 2 O 3 ‐A1 2 0 3 , Dy 2 O 3 ‐CeO 2 , Dy 2 0 3 ‐Nb 2 0 5 , Dy 2 O 3 ‐UO 2 , and Dy 2 0 3 ‐Zr0 2 are described. Compound formation was observed in the dysprosia‐alumina and dysprosianiobia systems whereas solid solutions were observed in the other three systems investigated. The properties that are reported include lattice parameters, density, shrinkage, thermal expansion, water‐corrosion resistance, and compound melting points. Dysprosia was found to stabilize zirconia in amounts as low as 10 volume %.
