Y 2 Zr 2 O 7 transparent ceramic was successfully fabricated from combustion‐synthesized powders. The as‐prepared Y 2 Zr 2 O 7 powders were characterized by XRD, FE‐SEM, TEM, and BET area. After high‐energy ball milling, the porous structure of the powder was destroyed. The Y 2 Zr 2 O 7 transparent ceramics were obtained by sintering the ball‐milled powders at 1850°C for 6 h in vacuum. Ball milling of the as‐burnt powders was found to play a key role on the in‐line transmittance of the resultant ceramic.
