Abstract

The Rapid Omnidirectional Compaction (ROC) technique has been applied successfully to the densification of TZP (3 mole % yttria) ceramics at 1260°C. The combination of high pressure (830 MPa) and temperature results in the plastic deformation of the ceramic particles. The extent of deformation, and consequently, the ROCing temperature, can be determined by using hot hardness of the ceramic material as an approximation of the ceramic's yield stress. The materials ROCed at 1260°C are characterized by a grain size of 0.15 gim, a flexure strength of 1300 MPa, a hardness of 1340 kg/mm2, and a fracture toughness of 5.0 MPa m1/2.
