It was found that the three peaks (P_1, P_2 and P_3 corresponding to ascending measurement, or P_1~', P_2~' and P_3~' corresponding to descending measurement) appeared. By investigating the behavior of internal friction peaks (P_1, P_2, P_3 orP_1~' P_2~', P_3~'), it is indicated that the origin of peak P_3 or P_3~' can be attributed to grain boundary relaxation, that is, it is caused by slip of the grain boundaries in nano ZrO_2 solids. The peak P_2 (or P_2~')and P_1 (or P_1~') may possibly be associated with phase transformation of nano ZrO_2 solids at low temperature range. The energy dispersion decreases and the modulus increases notably with the increase in annealing temperature of the nano samples.展开更多

During the forming process of YSZ powders, the relative density of YSZ increases lineally with the forming press,and the sintering linear shrinkage of YSZ to the forming press compiles to the parabola trend. When the forming press exceeding 500MPa, the samples with lower shrinkage and high density were obtained. The sintering temperature of YSZ decreases greatly because of the small size and high active surface of YSZ powders. As a result, the beginning sintering temperature of YSZ made in the experiment is as low as 825℃, and the end sintering temperature is 1300-1350℃. The relative density of YSZ ceramic by solid sintering at 1300-1350℃ is more than 97%, with little and small pores in the uniform microstructure.展开更多

文摘Internal friction and modulus measurements of nano ZrO_2 solids for different particle sizes (including original compacted and annealed samples) were systematically carried out from room temperature to -200℃. It was found that the three peaks (P_1, P_2 and P_3 corresponding to ascending measurement, or P_1~', P_2~' and P_3~' corresponding to descending measurement) appeared. By investigating the behavior of internal friction peaks (P_1, P_2, P_3 orP_1~' P_2~', P_3~'), it is indicated that the origin of peak P_3 or P_3~' can be attributed to grain boundary relaxation, that is, it is caused by slip of the grain boundaries in nano ZrO_2 solids. The peak P_2 (or P_2~')and P_1 (or P_1~') may possibly be associated with phase transformation of nano ZrO_2 solids at low temperature range. The energy dispersion decreases and the modulus increases notably with the increase in annealing temperature of the nano samples.
