Nano-HAp-ZrO 2 powders and HAp-TZP(3Y) composites have been fabricated in this work. The results show that nano-HAp-ZrO 2 powders with homogeneous distribution could be synthesized by two-step precipitation method. HAp-TZP(3Y) composites with small grain size could be sintered at relatively low temperatures and very short dwelling time by using SPS technology. No reaction between HAp and ZrO 2 was found, which could be attributed to the very short sintering time of SPS.
