Abstract
The elastic properties of polycrystalline as well as single crystal MgO have been measured extensively. New measurements on four hot-pressed magnesium oxide samples are presented and compared to existing data. Discrepancies are noted between the properties determined for the different polycrystalline MgO samples; the magnitude of these differences is as much as ±6% for the reported bulk modulus. X-ray and electron microscopy techniques were applied to the four hot-pressed specimens and revealed the presence of residual strains, plastic deformation and a preferred orientation of grains with respect to hot pressing directions. Scanning electron micrographs also indicated that a non-homogeneous pore distribution existed.
