Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Y2O3 Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Currently, Y2O3 ceramics are widely used in various fields. The basic performance of Y2O3 ceramics were sintered temperatures are studied in this paper, their phase compositions and microstructure are studied with XRD and SEM. The mechanical properties of Y2O3 ceramics at different temperatures are studied. The sintering temperature of Y2O3 ceramic significantly affected the final grain size and density. It was found that a high density and fine average grain size of Y2O3ceramic can be simultaneously achieved when the sintering temperature was 1600°C. To determine the best sintering temperature, grain size, density, and mechanical properties were considered, and the most suitable sintering temperature was found to be 1600°C.
