<p>Dysprosium zirconate powder Dy₂Zr₂O₇ was obtained by mechanochemical synthesis of a stoichiometric mixture of zirconium oxide and dysprosium oxide. By X-ray phase analysis, as well as transmission and scanning electron microscopy, it has been demonstrated that the initial zirconium oxide and dysprosium oxide powders interact during mechanochemical synthesis for 30–45 min with the formation of the compound Dy₂Zr₂O₇. The technological properties (fluidity, compactibility) of polycrystalline powders of mechanically synthesized dysprosium zirconate, as well as its microstructure after consolidation, have been studied.</p>
