| Sintering of alumina has been carried out in presence of
two eutectic glass compositions, viz. CAS (1): Ca0-23.0,
Al20 3-15.0, Si02-62.0 and CAS (2): Ca0-52.0, AI.03-
41.5, Si02-6.5. 10, 15, 20 and 25 per cent by weight glass
were used with different particle sizes of AI20 3 and sintered
at 1400° and 1460°C. Effect of particle size of AI20a and
glass content were studied from isothermal density variation.
It was found that CAS(2) glass was more effective
in promoting sintering of Al20 3 than CAS (1). |
