Abstract
The sintering behavior, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Al2O3 ceramics co-doped with 3000ppmCuO2+6000ppmTiO2+500ppmMgO (Cu/Ti/Mg) have been investigated. The results show that 1 wt% Cu/Ti/Mg can reduce the sintering temperature of Al2O3 ceramics effectively. Samples with relative densities of ≥97% and uniform microstructure can be obtained when sintered at 1150 °C. Higher temperature can further increase the density of the sample, but it inevitably leads to abnormal grain growth. Meanwhile, the investigation results show that the low-firing Al2O3 ceramics have good microwave dielectric properties especially high Q × f value. A high Q × f value of 109616 GHz is able to be obtained for the 1150 °C sintered sample. The reason for the low temperature densification, abnormal grain growth behavior and the changing trend of the microwave dielectric properties are discussed in the paper.
