Conventional and microwave sintering experiments have been performed on
nanocrystalline yttria partially stabilised zirconia (Y-PSZ) green compacts produced by die pressing
and slurry casting. Whilst one of the nanopowders used developed spherical inclusions measuring 1
– 4 μm in diameter during sintering, the combination of microwave sintering and the second
nanopowder yielded sintered bodies of >97% of theoretical density and with an avConventional and microwave sintering experiments have been performed on
