Preparation of sodium beta-alumina by the isostatic pressing and zone sintering of spray dried powders

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6310969

The preparation of beta-alumina tubes by a route comprising a slurry solution spray drying, iosostatic pressing and zone sintering is reported. Sources of powder heterogeneity are discussed as is the conversion of precursor materials to beta-alumina during firing. Data demonstrating the effectiveness of post-sinter heat treatment for beta-alumina are presented.
