This invention discloses a method for preparing
yttrium-
magnesium oxide (YMO) multiphase
transparent ceramics using non-aqueous
gel casting, belonging to the field of
ceramic preparation technology. To overcome the problems associated with water-based
gel casting, this invention provides a method for preparing YMO multiphase
transparent ceramics using non-aqueous
gel casting, comprising: ball milling Y2O3, MgO, a dispersant, and a non-aqueous
solvent; then adding
epoxy resin and a curing agent and ball milling again; the resulting
ceramic slurry is defoamed, cured, and dried; then subjected to debinding,
sintering densification, cooling,
hot isostatic pressing, annealing, and
polishing to obtain the YMO multiphase transparent
ceramic. This invention overcomes the difficulties in preparing large-size Y2O3-MgO nano-multiphase
infrared transparent ceramics and the problem of component inhomogeneity by designing a non-aqueous
solvent system and selecting a suitable gel
system, and can produce complex-shaped / large-size, uniformly composed YMO nano-multiphase ceramics.
