Improved Microstructure and Hardness Properties of Low-Temperature Microwave-Sintered Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Stabilized ZrO<sub>2</sub> Ceramics with Additions of Nano TiO<sub>2</sub> Powders

Improved Microstructure and Hardness Properties of Low-Temperature Microwave-Sintered Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Stabilized ZrO<sub>2</sub> Ceramics with Additions of Nano TiO<sub>2</sub> Powders

This paper reports the improvement of microstructural and hardness properties of 3 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP) ceramics with nano TiO<sub>2</sub> powders (with 0, 0.9, 1.8, and 2.7 wt%) added using a low-temperature microwave-assisted sintering of 1250 °C. Even at such a low...
