| Abstract Scope |
Transparent Y2O3 ceramic can be an excellent window material with its broad transmission from visible to 8 µm in the infrared. It’s low emissivity compared to other transparent oxide materials, such as spinel, sapphire and ALON, is important for high temperature applications. This paper explores various processing methods (sintering, hot pressing and SPS) and also the effects of additives (sintering aids and secondary phases) on the transmission, microstructure and physical properties of Y2O3 based ceramics. |
