چکیده
After the initial molding of the ceramic, whether by slip casting or dry pressing, it is still necessary to densify the compacted powder samples (green bodies) to form a continuous 3D structure and thus to get ceramic pieces appropriate for the selected application. Usually this is done by a sintering process which is a consolidation and densification step of the granular compact through the action of heat. During this stage, the microstructure of the samples evolves (see Figure 1).

Comparison of the optical properties of pre-colored dental monolithic zirconia ceramics sintered in a conventional furnace versus a microwave oven
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the optical properties of pre-colored dental monolithic zirconia ceramics of various thicknesses sintered in a microwave and those in a conventional furnace. MATERIALS AND METHODS A2-shade of pre-colored monolithic zirconia ceramic specimens (22.0 mm × 22.0 mm) in 3 thickness groups of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm were divided into 2 subgroups accordin...
متن کاملEffect of Microwave Sintering on the Microstructure and Dielectric Properties of Bi2O3-Doped (Ba0.6Sr0.4)(Ti0.94Cu0.06)O3 Ceramics
The effects of microwave sintering on the sintering behaviour, microstructure and dielectric properties of Bi2O3doped (Ba0.6Sr0.4)(Ti0.94Cu0.06)O3 (BSTC) ceramics were investigated. The microstructure and dielectric properties of a BSTC ceramic were also studied given different amounts of Bi2O3 doping. Microwave heating with sintering temperatures below 1000 ̊C significantly improves the densifi...
متن کاملPotential use of only Yb2O3 in producing dense Si3N4 ceramics with high thermal conductivity by gas pressure sintering.
Yb2O3 is an efficient sintering additive for enhancing not only thermal conductivity but also the high-temperature mechanical properties of Si3N4 ceramics. Here we report the fabrication of dense Si3N4 ceramics with high thermal conductivity by the gas pressure sintering of α-Si3N4 powder compacts, using only Yb2O3 as an additive, at 1900 °C under a nitrogen pressure of 1 MPa. The effects of Yb...
متن کاملMicrostructure and Electrical Properties of AZO/Graphene Nanosheets Fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering
In this study we report on the sintering behavior, microstructure and electrical properties of Al-doped ZnO ceramics containing 0-0.2 wt. % graphene sheets (AZO-GNSs) and processed using spark plasma sintering (SPS). Our results show that the addition of <0.25 wt. % GNSs enhances both the relative density and the electrical resistivity of AZO ceramics. In terms of the microstructure, the GNSs a...
متن کاملInfluence of Sintering Temperature on Densification, Structure and Microstructure of Li and Sb Co-Modified (K,Na)NbO3-Based Ceramics
Polycrystalline samples of Lead free (K0.5Na0.5)1−x(Li)x(Sb)x(Nb)1−xO3 ceramics with nominal compositions (x = 0.040 to 0.060) have been prepared by high temperature solid state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that the crystal structure transforms from orthorhombic to tetragonal as Li and Sb content increases. Normal sintering process yield compounds with density ~98.2...
