Abstract
Young's moduli of green and sintered unstabilized - ceramics have been determined by measuring compression and shear velocities through the material and, from separate measurements, the associated bulk density. Young's modulus and sintered density of - ceramics can be enhanced by increasing the compacting pressure when forming the green ceramics and with the addition of . For a particular green compacting pressure, the trend in the diametrical compressive fracture stress is similar to that of Young's modulus. The fracture stress also increases with a higher green compacting pressure at a constant wt% .
