Abstract
Effects of manganese oxide on the initial sintering kinetics of compacts of 5-μ diameter alumina were studied by isothermal shrinkage measurements from 1450° to 1650°C. The observed rates were characterized by assuming a volume-diffusion mechanism. Variations in sintering rate with both oxygen partial pressure in the furnace and impurity concentration, as well as the observed activation energy, indicated oxygen-ion diffusion was the rate-limiting step during densification.
