Lanthanum silicate oxyapatite (LSO) is a promising ion conductive ceramic material, which has higher oxygen ion conductivity at intermediate temperatures (600-800?C) compared to yttria-stabilized zirconia. Its mechanical properties, though important for any of its applications, have been scarcely reported. In this study, we compare apparent densification, open porosity and Vickers hardness of samples conformed by uniaxial pressing and slip casting and fired up to 1600?C. Colloidal processing was optimized for slip casting in order to get high green densities. At sintering temperatures higher than 1400?C, both processing routes yielded comparable densities, although uniaxially pressed samples show slightly better mechanical properties, evidencing that slip cast ones already underwent a grain growth process.

Zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) ceramics are used in a broad range of mechanical engineering and biomedical applications due to their excellent mechanical and tribological properties. In this study it was tried how the change in stabilizer composition and sintering conditions can be exploited to selectively modify the mechanical properties and low temperature degradation resistance of ZTA materials with a typical biomedical grade composition. It was found that the materials react very sensitively to such changes. Fully dense materials combining favorable mechanical properties such as high strength > 800 MPa, fracture toughness > 5.5 MPa?m and LTD resistance can only be produced in a narrow stabilizer concentration range between 1.1-1.2 %. Beyond this range materials are either insufficiently stabilized which results in poor strength and high tendency to LTD, or over stabilized and no longer susceptible to stress induced phase transformation and therefore too brittle. Changes in reinforcement mechanisms can be attributed to changes in microstructure and phase composition caused by variation of stabilizer content and sintering conditions.

Previous works studied the colloidal processing of nickel-silica and nickel-titania nanocomposites fabricated via slip casting. A rheological approach was used to characterize and optimize a 30 vol.% nickel aqueous suspension with up to 10 vol.% SiO2and 5 vol.% TiO2nanoparticles. In this work, the effect of mechanical activation of Ni-SiO2and Ni-TiO2nanocomposites on microstructural and mechanical properties was studied. For this aim Ni-SiO2and Ni TiO2slip-cast compacts were attrition milled for up to 12 hours. Green bodies of the mechanical-alloyed powders were obtained by cold pressing (300 MPa). Next, those green bodies were annealed at 700°C for 1 h, repressed at 700 MPa and sintered at 900°C for 1 h in flowing Ar/5%H2atmosphere. Porous and dense materials were characterized by SEM/FESEM, Archimedes densities and Vickers microhardness measurements. Mechanical alloying produces a remarkable improvement on microstructure homogenization, sintering densification and hardness comparing with slip-cast composites.
