Abstract

Abstract:

Yttria stabilized zirconia compacts fabricated by cold isostaitc pressing were sintered in an in-situ measurement instrument under different heating rates (2, 5 and 8℃/min) and pressureless condition. The images were obtained by the in-situ measurement instrument and subsequently analyzed by using Image-Pro Plus 6.0. Based on the shrinkage data and corresponding master sintering curve, the sintering activation energy was eventurely calculated to be 685.7 kJ/mol. Besides predicting the final density of the compacts, the master sintering curve (EMSC) was extended and modeled presenting relationship between temperature and relative density in the sintering process under different heating rates. This study provides possibility for predicting the sintering schedule, which ensures the accuracy and repeatability of sintering time and temperature.
