Abstract
Two kinds of high-purity Al2O3 powder were studied with respect to the effects of not only MgO doping but also atmosphere on both densification and grain growth. Controversial results for MgO doping are explained in terms of two roles that MgO can play during these processes: sensitive and insensitive to the experimental procedures. Atmospheres, whether dry or wet, had little influence on densification or grain growth in the early stage. After closed pores appreciably formed, however, both N2 and Ar atmospheres quickly reduced the densification rate.
