Abstract

The sintering behavior of beryllia in a reducing atmosphere was studied between 1500° and 2100°C. Above 1700°C. the firing temperature had only a small effect on the density after heating for 24 hours. Examination of the time dependence of sintering showed that at 1700°C. during the first 3 to 5 hours there was a large increase in the density of the body accompanied by a simultaneous rapid rate of grain growth. Firing for longer times resulted in more moderate increases in both density and grain growth. The grain‐growth characteristics of beryllia were unchanged by most oxide additions although compacts of higher density resulted. Oxide additives which formed a liquid phase at the sintering temperature enhanced both the sinterability and grain growth of beryllia.
