Abstract

Abstract : In this study nanostructured a-Al2O3 ceramics have been fabricated by the combined application of magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and spark plasma sintering (SPS), and their density and hardness properties were investigated. The combined application of the MPC and the SPS produced very fine and dense alumina ceramics. The measured grain size was 330nm being slightly higher than the size of the starting powder (200-300nm), suggesting a very low degree of grain growth during the MPC and SPS processes and 99.7%, and the relative density was 99.7% being very close to the theoretical density (3.99g/cm3).
