Abstract

The macroscopic sintering parameters, sintering stress, bulk viscosity, and shear viscosity, were measured by the discontinuous sinter forging experiment for viscous sintering of calcium aluminosilicate (CAS) glass. The calculated results were compared with experimental values from the microstructural evolution during viscous sintering of spherical soda lime glass particles by X-ray microtomography. The sintering stress of CAS glass normalized by surface energy and the initial particle size was in good agreement with values estimated from the microtomography data of soda lime glass, despite the differences in particle shape and chemical composition. The bulk viscosity obtained by discontinuous sinter forging agreed fairly well with that estimated by X-ray microtomography observation, when they were normalized by glass viscosity.
