Abstract
One of the objectives of this work was to study the influence of neutral and oxidizing atmospheres on the rate of pore growth during the sintering of SnO2 and compare those results with the rates of pore growth observed when sintering is done in air or hydrogen.
Because of the nondensifying characteristics of tin oxide compacts, certain densifying agents have been used to obtain high density SnO2. For example, CuO has been used as a densifying agent, but the evolution and the mechanisms of its associated microstructural changes have not yet been determined. The other objective of this work was to study the microstructural change of SnO2 compacts during sintering with 2 mole % of CuO in dry argon or dry air.
