Preparation Of Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Precursor Hydroxy Hydrogel Through Co-Precipitation And Study Of Sintering Process Of Calcined Hydrogel

Synthetic process of making yttria stabilised sub-micron zirconia powder was studied by co-precipitation technique at room temperature using zirconyl chloride solution of different concentrations. The effect of concentration of particle agglomeration and sinterability of powder mixed with yttrium nitrate solution as a source of Y2O3 and ammonia as precipitating agent was investigated.
