This paper reports hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of presintered Y-TZP studied at 1100{degrees} to 1400{degrees}C, 5 to 200 MPa, for 0.5 to 4 h. The effects of process variables of HIP and the characteristics of the presintered specimens on the densification behavior of HIP were examined. The microstructural development after HIP was also examined. Grain Growth occurred during the densification of HIP. Empirically, a linear relation having a rather constant slope was found between the logarithms of porosities and grain sizes, for each starting condition. Provided this relationship was taken into account, the Ashby's model for HIP could express the densification process for this system satisfactorily.
