Abstract

We consider the potential of using boron oxide as a sintering aid for the fabrication of transparent magnesium aluminate spinel (MAS) ceramics and analyze the general tendency in the effect of B2O3 concentration on the average density, open porosity, and optical transmission of MAS ceramics. Boron oxide is shown to have an advantageous effect on the sintering behavior of MAS ceramics: raising its concentration leads to a decrease in open porosity and an increase in the average density of the material.
