Preparation and sintering of silica-doped zirconia by colloidal processing
- National Research Inst. for Metals, Tsukuba, Ibaraki (Japan)
Silica-doped (SiO{sub 2} = 0--1.0 mass%) zirconia (3 mol% Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}-doped tetragonal ZrO{sub 2}) compacts are prepared from hetero-coagulated and well-dispersed suspensions by colloidal processing. The suspensions are consolidated by a pressure filtration technique. The green density of the compacts consolidated from the well-dispersed suspensions is higher than that from the hetero-coagulated suspensions. The lower density of the latter compacts is improved by a subsequent cold isostatic pressing (CIP) at 400 MPa. The sinterability of the compacts at 1,200 C is greatly affected by the amount of doped silica. The densification and grain growth are hindered by silica doping above 0.3 wt% at 1,200 C. All the compacts are densificated to a relative density of above 99% by sintering at 1,300 C for 2 h.
