Magnesia partially stabilised zirconia (Mg-PSZ) ceramics are renowned for their excellent nechanical properties. These are effected by processing conditions and purity of starting materials. It has been previously shown that small additions of strontia (SrO) have the effect of removing the major contaminant, silica (SiO2).The mechanism by which this occurs is not fully understood but the strontia appears to form a very mobile liquid phase at the grain boundaries. As the sintering reaches the final stages the liquid phase is expelled to the surface of the ceramic. A series of experiments, to examine the behaviour of the liquid grain boundary phase, were designed to produce compositional gradients across the ceramic bodies. To achieve this, changes in both silica content and furnace atmosphere were implemented. Analytical electron microscope techniques were used to monitor the form and composition of the phases developed. This paper describes the results of our investigation and the presentation will discuss the work with reference to liquid phase sintering of ceramics in general.

Abstract The heat treatment operation which is carried out post manufacturing is optimized. Simulation of the carburizing and quenching processes with parameter optimization are combined to attain the desired surface hardness with controlled distortion of final products. Parameters of interest for optimization include, the carbon content of gas, carburizing dwell time, material temperature before quenching, quenchant temperature and the heat transfer coefficient. The response surface method is used to obtain closed-form models of the objective (surface hardness) and the two constraints (hardness variance and physical distortion) in terms of the design variables. A finite element simulation tool is used to predict the material response (volume fraction of different phases, temperature and stress/strain) during the carburizing and quenching processes. This paper summarizes the methodology that is used to optimize the carburizing and quenching processes of an axisymmetric disk.
