Nd₂O₃ DOPED YTTRIA STABILIZED ZIRCONIA CERAMICS FABRICATED BY CONVENTIONAL AND MICROWAVE SINTERING METHODS

Cubic 8 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) ceramics doped with 9, 12 and 15wt% Nd₂O₃ were sintered in a single mode 2.45 GHz microwave furnace at sintering temperature of 1400°C for 20 min. and by conventional sintering at 1400°C for 5 h. The microwave sintered samples attained higher densities...
