  • The transformation-assisted consolidation under pressure has been demonstrated to be a promising method to fabricate the nano or submicron polycrystalline ceramic materials. The high pressure suppresses the long-range diffusion of the atoms and, consequently, restrains the grain coarsening. The new phases produced at high pressure could show finer grains under the appropriate thermodynamic conditions, which are not subject to the grain size of the raw materials. Ceramic materials exhibit the existence of the transformations under certain thermodynamic conditions and the formation of new phases generally undergoes the nucleation and growth. In the present work, monoclinic microcrystal ZrO2 with average grain size of 2 µm and Y2O3 with average grain size of 50 nm were mixed in molar ratio of 97∶3. The preparation of the samples was carried out by sintering at 5.5 GPa and temperatures of 800–1700 °C using the high pressure cubic cell, and the sample characterization was performed via the X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the monoclinic and submicron tetragonal composite polycrystalline ZrO2 in bulk is obtained under high pressure and high temperature. The average grain size of tetragonal ZrO2 fabricated at 1200, 1400, 1600 and 1700 °C is (145±62) nm, (246±165) nm, (183±62) nm and (245±107) nm, respectively. The synthesis of the fine-grained polycrystalline materials by the transformation under high pressure can solve the problems of agglomeration, adsorption and grain coarsening caused by the nanopowders as the starting materials in the conventional approach, which would be an alternative route to fabricate the fine-grained polycrystalline materials with the enhanced performances.
