Improvements in atmosphere sintering of transparent PLZT ceramics

Creators

Description

An improved atmosphere sintering process was developed for fabricating large transparent PLZT plates for electrooptic applications. Cold‐pressed 9/85/35 PLZT slugs were sintered in O 2 in Pt crucibles for ∼45 min at 1180°C and were then heat‐treated in air for 60 h at 1200°C in Al 2 O 3 crucibles containing PbZrO 3 atmosphere powder. Transparent plates as large as 8.4 cm in diameter and I cm thick were thus fabricated. A mechanism is proposed which qualitatively accounts for the success of this process.
