In-situ Fabrication of Transparent Magnesium Aluminate Spinel by Spark Plasma Sintering

Transparent polycrystalline spinel ceramic was fabricated without any sintering aids by spark plasma sintering method of a mixture of Al2O3 and MgO powders for only 10min soak at 1250°C. Densification, microstructure and optical transparency of spinel were examined. The spinel exhibits an in-line transmission of 55% for a visible-wavelength of 470nm and high hardness value of 2040 HV.

Optical and Dielectric studies in zirconium(IV) tungstate nanoparticles prepared by chemical coprecipitation method

Nanoparticles of zirconium(IV) tungstate are prepared by chemical co-precipitation method. Thecharacterizations have been carried out by TG/DTA, DSC, AFM, XRD, FTIR and UV-Vis spectrum. PLspectrum shows two emission bands at 350 nm and at 477 nm. The effects of frequency on the dielectricbehavior and ac electrical conductivity have been studied. The dielectric constant is found to be 119.43 at1...

Sintering of Al2O3–Ceo2nanopowder Prepared by Co-Precipitation Method

In the present work, Al2O3-CeO2 composite nanopowders were synthesized via co-precipitation method. The sinterability of the synthesized powders was investigated. The results showed that the transformation of transition phases of alumina to α-Al2O3 takes place at 1200 °C. TEM images showed that the powders was composed of nanoparticles in the range of 30−70 nm. The densification of composites s...

Zirconium nanoparticles prepared by the reduction of zirconium oxide using the RAPET method

The aim of the current work is the synthesis and characterization of metallic Zr nanoparticles. The preparation is carried out by using the RAPET method (Reaction under Autogenic Pressure at Elevated Temperatures) developed in our lab. The RAPET reaction of commercial ZrO(2) with Mg powder was carried out in a closed stainless steel cell, at 750 °C. On completion of the reaction, the additional...
