XRD Study of the Influence of Heat Treatment on the Microstructure of Sol-Gel Processed ZrO2-Y2O3 Ceramics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
YSZ samples containing 5 and 10 mol% of Y203 were prepared by controlled hydrolysis of metal alkoxides. The dried powders were calcined at 800°C and then they were uniaxially pressed and sintered at different temperatures and next heated at 1400°C (∼ 5 MPa) or annealed at 1600°C for 24 h. The quantitative analysis of the experimental X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra was performed by Whole Pattern Fitting (WPF). A Pseudo-Voigt (Thompson-Cox-Hastings) was used as shape profile function. The respective phase fractions (wt %) were fitted for both solid state solutions using the scale factor. The heat treatment induced changes are discussed.
