Abstract
Methods of determining and controlling the deformability of ceramic materials, as a nonlimiting example, YSZ, particularly through the application of a flash sintering process, and to ceramic materials produced by such methods. Such a method includes providing a nanocrystalline powder of a ceramic material, making a compact of the powder, and subjecting the compact to flash sintering by applying an electric field and thermal energy to the compact.
Claims18

- providing a nanocrystalline powder of a ceramic material;
- making a compact of the powder;
- and
- subjecting the compact to flash sintering by applying an electric field and thermal energy to the compact.
