INITIAL SINTERING KINETICS OF BERYLLIUM OXIDE

Journal Article · · Journal of the American Ceramic Society (U.S.)

The initial sintering kinetics of beryllium oxide are examined, including the effects of calcining temperature, purity, and water-vapor content of the sintering atmosphere. Sintering occurs by a diffusion mechanism in dryair atmospheres. Small additions of MgO to BeO increase the sintering rate markedly. The diffusion constant calculated from sintering data for pure BeO is three orders of magnitude lower than the measured diffusion of beryllium in BeO. Water vapor in the sintering atmosphere slows the shrinkage rate of pure BeO. (auth)
