Abstract
Although praseodymium yellow pigments have been used in industry for many years, a quantitative understanding of processing parameters does not exist. A factorial design was used to investigate the effects of raw material particle size, mineralizer content, and processing temperature on color formation. Results show that strong yellow colors are developed near 900 °C and little benefit is associated with higher temperatures. The presence of fluoride mineralizer is a critical variable, especially at lower processing temperatures. Overall, color formation correlates strongly with processing temperature and mineralizer content and to a lesser extent with zirconia raw material particle size.
