Abstract:A vacuum environment is usually preferred for reducing the dwell time and sintering temperature for doped zirconia ceramics. However, for the present work with 10 mol.% CaO‐doped ZrO2 (10CaSZ) ceramics, both hot‐pressing and vacuum sintering techniques yielded ceramics with open pores (ρ ∼ 93%) and significant amounts of the deleterious monoclinic phase (50%). This is in stark contrast with the conventionally sintered highly dense (>99%) 10CaSZ ceramics, where only tetragonal and cubic phases were noted. Pr… Show more
