ABSTRACT |
$ZrO_2$, $Y_2O_3$-doped $ZrO_2$ and CaO-doped $ZrO_2$ powders were prepared by hydrothermal crystallizing spherical $ZrO_2$ gel which had been synthesized by thermal hydrolysis reaction. After the hydrothermal crystallization process, the formed crystallized powders sustained its original spherical shape and had the mean particle size of $0.4{mu}m$. The particles were composed of about 10nm sized primary particles. The agglomeration strength between the primary particles appears very weak considering that the spherical particles were broken into the primary particles during the pressing process. The particle shape, size, phase fraction and dopant content were analyzed and crystallization mechanism of spherical gel was discussed. |
