Sintering of Synthetic Magnesium Oxide

Abstract

Results are reported on the sintering ability of pure synthetic magnesium oxide (MgO) using variously pretreated eutectic sintering additives. It was established that the sintering ability of synthetic MgO was affected by the type of precursors used to prepare both the MgO and eutectic sintering additives. The best sintering ability was observed for MgO prepared from magnesium bicarbonate. The sintering additive made of natural quartzite and technical aluminum and magnesium hydroxides was most effective.
