Microstructure revealing and analysis of partially sintered oxide ceramic materials
Jemelka, Marek ; Salamon, David (referee) ; Spusta, Tomáš (advisor)
The goal of this bachelor’s thesis is to experimentally determine appropriate etching conditions for etching of partially sintered advanced ceramic materials (Al2O3, ZrO2 + 3mol % Y2O3, ZrO2 + 8mol % Y2O3) with emphasis on minimal influence on the final surface microstructure. The obtained results show, that the optimal etching way of selected materials is thermal etching under conditions: Al2O3 (rel. 95,7 ± 0,9 %)- Te = 1015 C (Ts – 350 C), tetragon. ZrO2 (rel. 94,5 ± 0,6 %)- Te = 1005 C (Ts – 350 C), cubic. ZrO2 (rel. 94 ± 0,5 %)- Te = 1105 C (Ts – 350 C). The applying of chemical etching in H3PO4 for 60s led to revealing of the microstructure of Al2O3 and cubic ZrO2 in shorter times, but the procedure carries its difficulties of etching conditions determination and execution itself, which put it in the second place. Microstructure revealing via using focused ion beam was experimentally determined as inappropriate due to time and personnel demands.
