Effect of the Heating Rate on the Spark-Plasma-Sintering (SPS) of Transparent Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Ceramics: Microstructural Evolution, Mechanical and Optical Properties

High strength transparent Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> ceramics were fabricated from commercial powders using spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique by optimizing the heating rate. The heating rate significantly influenced the microstructures and the optical/mechanical properti...
