Hey all,
We recently purchased the KDF Zircom sintering furnace and I was wondering what peoples settings are for sintering zirconia; the last lab I worked at we used one setting for all zirconia, didn't matter brand or anything, and never had any issues, but I don't remember what the settings were.
I should throw in that I do have one sintering process put in there but haven't used it yet, I pulled it from the manual but it doesn't state that it's a good starting point or anything, hence why I'm asking. It's setup as follows:
Step 1: 1000 degrees C for 40min
Step 2: 1500 degrees C for 1hour
Step 3: 1500 degrees C for 2hours
Step 4: 400 degrees C for 1hour 30min
Step 5: 300 degrees C for 30min
