The Mechanism of Controlling Pore Microstructure for YAG Porous Ceramics

Abstract:

YAG is an important advanced structural and functional material. The mechanism of controlling pore microstructure of YAG porous ceramics were investigated in this paper. Through the porosity and SEM result analyzing, the conclusions are shown as follows, the porosity and the pore size of YAG porous ceramics are decreased with increasing the sintering temperature, the pores of YAG porous ceramics show a regular and well-distributed structure as lower sintering temperature, the porosity of YAG porous ceramics is increased with increasing the foaming agent content, but the increasing tendency is few after adding content more 15wt%, when the foaming agent content is less than 15wt%, the big pore is more and the pore microstructure is better. So the sintering temperature at 1500°C for 1 hour and the foaming agent content for 15wt% are better controlling conditions for obtaining better porosity and pore microstructure.
