Effect of Alumina Dopant on Transparency of Tetragonal Zirconia

Aiming to characterize the effect of alumina dopant on transparency, powders of yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia doped with alumina (TZ-3Y-E) are used as starting material to fabricate transparent tetragonal ZrO2 by high-pressure spark plasma sintering (HP-SPS). However, low transparency of the...
