摘要
Yttrium, aluminum garnet (YAG) nanopowders with mean particle size of about 50 nm synthesized by a modified co-precipitation method were used to sinter bulk YAG ceramic by two-step sintering method. Full densification was achieved by heating the sample up to 1800 degrees C followed by holding at 1550 degrees C for 10 h. Transparent YAG ceramics were obtained by suppressing grain-boundary migration while promoting grain-boundary diffusion during the two-step sintering process. The microstructure of the YAG ceramic is homogeneous without abnormal grain growth and the transmittance of the sintered sample is 43%. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
