S. Yin et al., Preparation of porous ceria doped tetragonal zirconia ceramics by capsule free hot isostatic pressing, BRIT CERAM, 98(1), 1999, pp. 19-23
Normal sintering and capsule free hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) of 12CeO(
2)-88ZrO(2), powder were carried out at 1100-1200 degrees C using different
starting powders. Porous ceramics of this composition with similar to 35%
open porosity, micropore diameters of similar to 23 nm, and narrow pore siz
e distributions were fabricated by capsule free hot isostatic pressing at 1
100 degrees C using the powders crystallised in methanol followed by superc
ritical drying. The porosity increased with decrease in HIPing temperature
and was accompanied by a steady decrease in fracture strength. BCT/295.
