ABSTRACTComposites of 8 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and titanium nitride (TiN) were obtained by mechanical mixing of commercial powders. High-density samples of (1-x) YSZ / x TiN, with x = 0, 25, 50, and 75 wt.%, were obtained by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1450 °C for 5 min. Surface contamination with carbon from the SPS was eliminated by diamond sawing of parallel surfaces. X-rays diffraction analyses showed that samples are composed by a mixture of the initial phases, without appreciable reaction as inferred from calculated lattice parameters. dc 4-probe electrical measurements in the 100-850°C under showed that samples have a metallic behavior, indicating that the percolation threshold was attained for the sample with the lowest content of the TiN (x=25 wt.%), which corresponds to ∼27 vol.%.

Dense 8mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) consisting of submicrometer-sized grains was prepared using spark plasma sintering (SPS) along with Al2O3 additives. The starting powder with average particle size of 50nm was densified to 98% of the relative density with short sintering time (5min) at 1200 while preserving a submicrometer grain size. The fracture toughness and bending strength showed maximum values of 2.54MPam1/2 and 380MPa at 2vol% alumina-added 8YSZ, due mainly to the higher relative density and small grain size. The electrical conductivity of 2vol% alumina-added 8YSZ was 0.0278 S/cm at 700 in airThus, alumina additions in 8YSZ using the SPS method are an effective process to improve the mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
