Control of the γ-alumina to α-alumina phase transformation for an optimized alumina densification

In this work, we studied the aptitude to sintering green bodies using γ-Al2O3 transition alumina as raw powder. We focused on the influence of the heating rate on densification and microstructural evolution. Phase transformations from transition alumina γ → δ → θ → α-Al2O3 were studied by in situ X-...
