Abstract
The need for studying details of the transport mechanisms during sintering is outlined. A technique for doing this is proposed which makes use of the nuclear activation of the rare isotope of oxygen O17 so that it can be used as if it were in effect a radioactive tracer. A test of the feasibility of the use of this as a marker in the region of neck growth between grains of ceramic material is then reported.
Work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
