EFFECT OF SPINEL ADDITION ON THE SINTERING BEHAVIOR AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF ALUMINA-SPINEL CERAMICS

Sintering behaviors of alumina-spinel powder mixtures were investigated up to 1600oC using a vertical dilatometer. Final density and microstructure of pure alumina, magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) ceramics and ceramic composites with different alumina-spinel ratio were examined. As a result, th...
