| Abstract | The main goal of this study was to optimize the technological process of forming and sintering Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) composites in terms of reducing energy demand. Based on the results of Life Cycle Assessment carried out according to ISO 14044 and EN 15805 standards, the elimination of preliminary homogenization of ceramic suspension in the planetary mill, allowed to reduce energy consumption by over 25%. The method of forming ZTA materials by CSC method, allowed to obtain finished tube-shaped products, which did not require any mechanical treatment after sintering. Such an approach may be an alternative solution for production of ZTA pipes that can be used in transport of aggressive substances, even in extreme corrosive or temperatures conditions. |
