Abstract Two-step sintering of titanium-doped Y 2 O 3 was carried out using monodispersed sub-micrometer powder. The effect of titanium dopant concentration on the sinterability and kinetic window of constant grain-size sintering were examined. The titanium doping improves the sinterability of the Y 2 O 3 powder, which broadens the sintering kinetic window and lowers sintering temperature. The Vickers hardness was also enhanced as the doping concentration of titanium was increased, assuming the same grain size.
