Nanocrystalline materials with superior performance have attracted much attention due to their average grain size. In recent years, the sintering technology for ceramic materials has developed rapidly, including techniques such as hot isostatic pressing (HIP), spark plasma sintering (SPS), flash sintering, cold sintering, oscillation pressure sintering (OPS), and ultra-fast ultra-high temperature sintering. These techniques can significantly promote densification process, optimize microstructure, and effectively enhance mechanical and functional properties of ceramics. Among these, two-step sintering has gained widespread attention due to its simplicity, low equipment requirements, and effectiveness in suppressing rapid grain growth during the final sintering stage. These unique advantages make two-step sintering method suitable to prepare ultrafine nanocrystalline ceramics of various materials and flexible to combine with other sintering techniques (such as two-step flash sintering and two-step oscillation pressure sintering). In two-step sintering procedure, the first step uses a high temperature T1 without holding or for a short holding time to force the pores in green body to shrink relative to the size of grain and thus become thermodynamically unstable. In the following second step, a lower temperature T2 and a longer holding time t2 (typically 10-20 hours) are used to complete the densification, while effectively suppressing grain growth. Compared to the conventional sintering method, the two-step sintering method becomes a challenge mainly because the densification and grain growth processes share the similar thermodynamic driving forces and kinetic processes.

After over twenty years of development, two-step sintering has been extended to a variety of materials like Y2O3, cubic/tetragonal yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), Al2O3, TiO2, ZnO, BaTiO3, SiC, AlN, hydroxyapatite, W, Mo, etc.. These successful applications in different materials indicate that its mechanism could be more likely to relate to the microstructures rather than the chemical composition.

The mechanism of two-step sintering is presumed to be that the junction mobility of 3-grain line or 4-grain junction with a higher apparent activation energy, compared to 2-grain boundary mobility and grain boundary diffusivity. This enables a grain growth to be pinned at lower temperatures and allows an active grain boundary diffusion to achieve densification during sintering. According to this mechanism, grain growth (i.e., the evolution of the 3-dimensional grain boundary network) is controlled by the lower activation energy of the grain boundary mobility at high temperatures and by the higher activation energy of the junction mobility at low temperatures. Consequently, an apparent mobility transition occurs at a certain temperature, which is observed in 8YSZ. The grain boundary mobility calculated according to the parabolic law of grain growth follows the Arrhenius relationship in the high temperature range with an apparent activation energy (Ea) of 4.2 eV. However, it rapidly decreases at < 1300℃, exhibiting an extremely high apparent activation energy of 10.8 eV. This also directly confirms the mechanism of two-step sintering.

Material performance failures typically occur at the weakest areas, which are often related to the microstructural or chemical inhomogeneity. The reliability of nanocrystalline material can be improved to some extent via narrowing the grain size distribution in microstructure. Two-step sintering can freeze the grain boundary network in the final sintering stage, introducing grain growth with a higher exponent. Two-step sintering can fabricate nanocrystalline ceramics with a narrower grain size distribution than Hillert's theoretical prediction via uniformizing microstructural network during the initial and intermediate sintering stages at T1 and freezing the microstructural network at T2.

Summary and prospects

Two-step sintering offers unique advantages for fabricating ultrafine nanocrystalline ceramics due to its simplicity, low equipment requirements, and effective suppression of rapid grain growth during the final sintering stage. This review represents the research background of two-step sintering, thus clarifying its suitability towards various materials. The related mechanisms behind the suppression of rapid grain growth and the uniformity of the grain size distribution are descirbed. The grain boundary mobility transition at a low temperature is the most important mechanism of two-step sintering. In addition, the uniformization of the microstructural network during the initial and intermediate sintering stages at T1 and the freezing of the microstructural network at T2 are important reasons for the uniformity of two-step sintered samples. The two-step sintering needs a further research on its mechanisms, guidance on the selection of sintering parameters, development of more suitable molding techniques, combination with other sintering techniques and investigation on the macroscopic mechanical properties of large-sized samples.

两步法烧结在超细晶与纳米晶陶瓷制备中具有特殊的优势,能够在烧结致密化的同时有效抑制晶粒长大,目前已成功运用于多种材料体系。本文从两步法烧结的研究背景出发,首先总结了其对多种陶瓷和金属体系的适用性,为两步法烧结的基础理论研究奠定基础。针对两步法烧结细化晶粒的机理,文章论述了基于三叉和四叉晶界钉扎作用的晶粒生长模型,从理论和实验上佐证了低温下晶界迁移率突变现象。随后,文章指出两步法烧结能够最大限度保留连续气孔孔道的钉扎作用,维持烧结中期优异的微结构,由此获得的致密烧结体不仅具有细小的平均晶粒尺寸,还有更均匀的晶粒尺寸分布。这一晶粒尺寸匀化机制为两步法烧结样品在性能和可靠性方面的提升提供了新的解释和思路。最后,文章展望了两步法烧结未来发展趋势,为烧结机理的深入研究、烧结参数的合理选择、多种成型方法的开发、与其它烧结技术的结合和宏观性能的提升提供了参考。

两步法烧结在超细晶与纳米晶陶瓷制备中具有特殊的优势,能够在烧结致密化的同时有效抑制晶粒长大,目前已成功运用于多种材料体系。本文从两步法烧结的研究背景出发,首先总结了其对多种陶瓷和金属体系的适用性,为两步法烧结的基础理论研究奠定基础。针对两步法烧结细化晶粒的机理,文章论述了基于三叉和四叉晶界钉扎作用的晶粒生长模型,从理论和实验上佐证了低温下晶界迁移率突变现象。随后,文章指出两步法烧结能够最大限度保留连续气孔孔道的钉扎作用,维持烧结中期优异的微结构,由此获得的致密烧结体不仅具有细小的平均晶粒尺寸,还有更均匀的晶粒尺寸分布。这一晶粒尺寸匀化机制为两步法烧结样品在性能和可靠性方面的提升提供了新的解释和思路。最后,文章展望了两步法烧结未来发展趋势,为烧结机理的深入研究、烧结参数的合理选择、多种成型方法的开发、与其它烧结技术的结合和宏观性能的提升提供了参考。

Nanocrystalline materials with superior performance have attracted much attention due to their average grain size. In recent years, the sintering technology for ceramic materials has developed rapidly, including techniques such as hot isostatic pressing (HIP), spark plasma sintering (SPS), flash sintering, cold sintering, oscillation pressure sintering (OPS), and ultra-fast ultra-high temperature sintering. These techniques can significantly promote densification process, optimize microstructure, and effectively enhance mechanical and functional properties of ceramics. Among these, two-step sintering has gained widespread attention due to its simplicity, low equipment requirements, and effectiveness in suppressing rapid grain growth during the final sintering stage. These unique advantages make two-step sintering method suitable to prepare ultrafine nanocrystalline ceramics of various materials and flexible to combine with other sintering techniques (such as two-step flash sintering and two-step oscillation pressure sintering). In two-step sintering procedure, the first step uses a high temperature T1 without holding or for a short holding time to force the pores in green body to shrink relative to the size of grain and thus become thermodynamically unstable. In the following second step, a lower temperature T2 and a longer holding time t2 (typically 10-20 hours) are used to complete the densification, while effectively suppressing grain growth. Compared to the conventional sintering method, the two-step sintering method becomes a challenge mainly because the densification and grain growth processes share the similar thermodynamic driving forces and kinetic processes.

After over twenty years of development, two-step sintering has been extended to a variety of materials like Y2O3, cubic/tetragonal yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), Al2O3, TiO2, ZnO, BaTiO3, SiC, AlN, hydroxyapatite, W, Mo, etc.. These successful applications in different materials indicate that its mechanism could be more likely to relate to the microstructures rather than the chemical composition.

The mechanism of two-step sintering is presumed to be that the junction mobility of 3-grain line or 4-grain junction with a higher apparent activation energy, compared to 2-grain boundary mobility and grain boundary diffusivity. This enables a grain growth to be pinned at lower temperatures and allows an active grain boundary diffusion to achieve densification during sintering. According to this mechanism, grain growth (i.e., the evolution of the 3-dimensional grain boundary network) is controlled by the lower activation energy of the grain boundary mobility at high temperatures and by the higher activation energy of the junction mobility at low temperatures. Consequently, an apparent mobility transition occurs at a certain temperature, which is observed in 8YSZ. The grain boundary mobility calculated according to the parabolic law of grain growth follows the Arrhenius relationship in the high temperature range with an apparent activation energy (Ea) of 4.2 eV. However, it rapidly decreases at < 1300℃, exhibiting an extremely high apparent activation energy of 10.8 eV. This also directly confirms the mechanism of two-step sintering.

Material performance failures typically occur at the weakest areas, which are often related to the microstructural or chemical inhomogeneity. The reliability of nanocrystalline material can be improved to some extent via narrowing the grain size distribution in microstructure. Two-step sintering can freeze the grain boundary network in the final sintering stage, introducing grain growth with a higher exponent. Two-step sintering can fabricate nanocrystalline ceramics with a narrower grain size distribution than Hillert's theoretical prediction via uniformizing microstructural network during the initial and intermediate sintering stages at T1 and freezing the microstructural network at T2.

Summary and prospects

Two-step sintering offers unique advantages for fabricating ultrafine nanocrystalline ceramics due to its simplicity, low equipment requirements, and effective suppression of rapid grain growth during the final sintering stage. This review represents the research background of two-step sintering, thus clarifying its suitability towards various materials. The related mechanisms behind the suppression of rapid grain growth and the uniformity of the grain size distribution are descirbed. The grain boundary mobility transition at a low temperature is the most important mechanism of two-step sintering. In addition, the uniformization of the microstructural network during the initial and intermediate sintering stages at T1 and the freezing of the microstructural network at T2 are important reasons for the uniformity of two-step sintered samples. The two-step sintering needs a further research on its mechanisms, guidance on the selection of sintering parameters, development of more suitable molding techniques, combination with other sintering techniques and investigation on the macroscopic mechanical properties of large-sized samples.
