We evaluated the influence of three different forming methods (uniaxial and isostatic
pressings and slip casting) on the densification and microstructure of cylindrical flash
sintered 3mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) ceramics. Conventional sintering was also
analyzed as a comparison. Irrespective of the forming method applied, all the conventionally
and the flash sintered specimens presented high final densities. Regarding the grain size
distribution, while conventionally sintered specimens presented homogeneity over the entire …
