16. CONCLUSIONS
+ Best sintering condition: 1350 °C for 50 h in vacuum
+ Vacuum sintering guarantee the quasi total absence of porosity
and the high stability of grain boundaries.
+ The same ceramics properties that make transparent samples,
are the ones required for high hardness and mechanical properties
