Abstract: Y(NO3)3, HfCl4 and EDTA as raw materials,Y2Hf2O7 nanopowder were successfully prepared by combustion synthesis method. The as-burnt powder were calcined at 1200℃ and then ball-milled for 15h. The powders were formed into green bodies with a size of 20mm×2.5mm by cold isostatic pressing (CIP, 200MPa). Y2Hf2O7 transparent ceramics were obtained by sintering the green bodies at 1850℃ in vacuum for 6h. The resultant ceramics showed a transmittance of 50% in the visible spectral region. The sintering behavior of the prepared Y2Hf2O7 powders was investigated. When the sintering temperature was above 1850℃, sintering temperature had little effect on the transmittance of the ceramic. Meanwhile the grain size became larger with sintering temperature increasing.
