Abstract
The techniques of slow sintering, addition of a volatile flux, and grain growth inhibition have been used to produce high density sintering in pure barium titanate. The use of carbon as grain growth inhibitor gave a density of 99% theoretical at 0.7μm grain size. This technique may be used for other suitable ceramics, when the proposed application requires improved physical properties. An extension of the procedure gives a range of electrically conducting ceramics.
