Influence of MgO on the Evolution of the Microstructure of Alumina

  • Chapter
Sintering and Catalysis

Part of the book series: Materials Science Research ((MSR,volume 10))

Abstract

Small amounts of additives can have a great influence on the sintering of ceramic powders. The most extensively studied example is, without doubt, the effect of dopants especially MgO, on the sintering behaviour of Al2O3. In spite of all these studies many questions are still unsolved since Coble1 reported that the addition of 0.25 wt % MgO inhibits discontinuous grain growth and allows nearly theoretical densities to be achieved.
