Microstructure changes caused by thermal etching of sintered ZnTiO3

Abstract

Polishing and thermal etching was performed on ZnTiO3sintered ceramic. Two set of specimens were recorded, on higher 1200oC/1100oC sintered/etched, and lower 900oC/800oC sintered/etched. Phase composition, crystallite sizes and grain size distributions before and after etching were compared. Grain size enlargement was noted.
