Abstract
The paper examines the consolidation of 95 mole% ZrO2-2 mole% CeO2-3 mole% Y2O3 nanocrystalline powder in cold uniaxial double-action pressing, cold isostatic pressing (60 and 120 MPa), and sintering. Five starting powders are produced by processing a suspension after hydrothermal decomposition in different conditions. It is established that a homogeneous microstructure forms only in a material from the powder subjected to two homogenizing grindings. After cold uniaxial pressing and cold isostatic pressing, the sintered samples reach a relative density of 0.96 to 0.94. The bending strength is 600 to 660 MPa. The efficient consolidation of ceramics requires comprehensive processing of starting nanocrystalline powders to modify their morphology.
