Effect of dopants on the sintering behaviour and stability of tetragonal zirconia ceramics [PDF]
The microstrueture development during non-isothermal and isothermal sintering has been studied for tetragonal zireonia ceramics (TZP) containing carious amounts of Y, Ce and Ti. Smaller grain sizes were obtained when Ce-TZP was doped with yttrium.

Influence of pulse current during Spark Plasma Sintering evidenced on reactive alumina–hematite powders [PDF]
Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is increasingly used. The temperature and current are not independent parameters, making it difficult to separate the current intrinsic role from Joule heating.

Processing and microstructure of ZrB2–SiC composite prepared by reactive spark plasma sintering
In-situ formation of ZrB2–SiC composites was investigated by reactive spark plasma sintering of precursor powders according to the reaction B4C + 2ZrC + 3Si → 3SiC + 2ZrB2. The reaction and process presented here involves a diffusion reaction between B4C
