Fabrication of dense b-calcium orthophosphate with submicrometer-sized grains and its high-temperature superplastic deformation

High-density b-calcium orthophosphate (b-Ca3(PO4)2, also called b-tricalcium phosphate: b-TCP)ceramics with submicrometer-sized grains were fabricated using a pulse-current pressure firing route. The maximum relative density of the b-TCP compacts was 98.7% at 1050 C and this was accompanied by a tra...
