The Sintering Process and Mechanism of YAG Pore Gradient Ceramics

Abstract

Yttrium aluminum garnet is abbreviated as YAG, which has many excellent high temperature characteristics. YAG structural materials and functional materials are promising candidates. In this paper, YAG porous ceramic materials with different mechanical properties are prepared by adjusting the parameters of the sintering process to provide reference for the preparation of high-performance porous ceramics. From the experimental results, the following conclusions can be drawn: when the sintering temperature is 1450°C and the holding time is 2h, the YAG gradient porous ceramics have no deformation and shrinkage, have a regular good shape, and have good strength after sintering. The sintering rate was 8 °C/min and carbon emission temperature is 800°C, the structure of the YAG gradient porous material is good, the pores are uniform, and the strength of the sintered sample is high, The porosity is 25.7%, the compressive strength is 8.12MPa.
