Original abstract

Transparent fine-grained MgAl2O4 ceramics was prepared from nanometre-sized powder without any sintering additives. Ceramic green bodies were prepared by cold isostatic pressing and then pressureless presintered at temperatures of 1550-1600degC to reach closed porosity. Presintered samples were subsequently hot isostatically pressed (HIPed) at 1500degC and 200 MPa for 1 hour. The final density as well as the transparency of HIPed samples was affected by presintering densities. The highest final density (~100% t.d.) and highest in-line transmission (60.2% for sample thickness 1.1mm and = 632.8 nm) were obtained for sample presintered to the lowest density value still guaranteeing the structure with closed porosity (~94% t.d.). The HIPed sample had an average grain size of 1 micron and hardness HV=13.0 GPa.
