Abstract

The sintering and deformation kinetics of nanocrystalline (n-) TiO2 were studied. It was found that pressureless sintering yields densities above 95 % with modest increase in grain size whereas pressure assisted sintering (1GPa) results in high density samples without grain growth. In addition compression tests were performed. Large true strains up to 0.6 and strain rates as high as 8 × 10−5 s−1 were observed at 810 °C without fracturing. The sintering and creep results are discussed in terms of the microstructure and diffusion coefficients in n-TiO2.
