摘要: ZrO2–Y2O3–Al2O3 nanocrystalline powders have been synthesized using chemical coprecipitation method. Nano-powders were compacted uniaxially and densified in a muffle furnace. Densification studies showed that a fully dense pellet of ZrO2 (3Y) and a 99% relative density for 5 mol% Al2O3 doped ZrO2 (3Y) were obtained after sintering at 1200° C. The presence of Al2O3 inhibits grain growth and suppresses the densification process. Full densification and the maximum microhardness of 17.8 GPa were achieved for the ZrO2 …
