Composite Ceramics Based on Garnet-type Oxide Y2.5Nd0.5Al5O12 and Silicon Carbide. Preparation. Properties

Abstract

We have obtained powders of garnet-type complex oxide Y2.5Nd0.5Al5O12 – x vol.% SiC (x = 0, 10, 20) using wet chemistry techniques. The ceramics based on the studying compounds were sintered using Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) (Т
