Rychlé slinování pokročilých keramických materiálů
Prajzler, Vladimír ; Salamon, David (oponent) ; Maca, Karel (vedoucí práce)
Bakalářská práce se zabývá rychlým slinováním pokročilých keramických materiálů, a to tetragonálního ZrO2 a Al2O3 v konvenční odporové peci. Tento přístup je umožněn speciální superkantalovou pecí schopnou vyvinout rychlosti ohřevu až 200 °C/min. Rychlým slinováním byly získány vzorky s relativní hustotou vyšší než 93 % u ZrO2, resp. 97 % u Al2O3, a to bez vytvoření trhlin v tělesech. Dosažené relativní hustoty v případě tetragonálního ZrO2 byly vyšší u vzorků s většími póry v keramickém polotovaru. Toto chování je odlišné od konvenčního slinování a vede k úvahám o přenosu tepla zejména radiací.

Tailoring of microstructure of advanced ceramic materials by conventional and non-conventional sintering approaches
Prajzler, Vladimír ; Bermejo, Raúl (oponent) ; Bača,, Ľuboš (oponent) ; Maca, Karel (vedoucí práce)
This doctoral study investigated microstructural evolution of selected oxide ceramic materials during conventional sintering (CS), rapid rate sintering (RRS), flash sintering (FS), and spark plasma sintering (SPS). Considering ceramics for structural applications, the relatively large (1cm3), defect-free, and nearly dense alumina and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) pellets with uniform microstructure were prepared by RRS. The RRS was also found as an optimal method for preparation of highly dense lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with the similar performance as obtained by more time- and energy-consuming CS. The SPS methods further improved the properties of lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, producing fully dense samples which is a good prerequisite for translucency, and thus, additional optoelectrical properties. The most optimal results – a full density and high piezoelectric performance – were attained by combining SPS and RRS approaches. The analyses performed in this study also pointed out the importance of elimination of volatile impurities prior to the rapid heating. Otherwise, these substances are trapped in the sintered ceramic, which in turn limits its final density. It was shown that the low final densities of RRS YSZ are connected to the entrapment of residual chlorine originating from powder synthesis. If residual chlorine was removed by high-temperature annealing of the green bodies before the onset of RRS, almost fully dense YSZ samples were obtained by following RRS. The negative effect of residual chlorine on densification was also visible in flash sintered YSZ samples. Moreover, the FS of YSZ often results in an accelerated grain growth in the sample core due to a higher temperature and electrochemical reduction. In the spectrum of our process parameters, it even led to abnormal grain growth (AGG). The strongly bimodal grain size distribution showed in this work was not reported in flash sintered YSZ before. The AGG was explained by two contributing factors – large sample size, which resulted in localization of electric current and formation of hot-spots, and overall accelerated grain growth kinetics in the specimen core caused by electrochemical reduction.
