| Abstract |
| It has been shown that the sintering behaviour of oxides depends on the origin
and thermal history of the powders. Physical characteristics of the powder such as,
surface area, particle size etc were not found to be adequate to explain the sintering
behaviour. It is also shown that the sinterability is directly related to the crystallinity
in the _powders. The crystallinity of the powders can be assessed on a comparative
basis by determination of the streaming potentials. An apparatus has been set up to
determine the streaming potentials of urania powders. It was found that the slope of
the streaming potentials vs. velocity of flow plots was a direct indication of the comparative
sinterability of the urania powders. |
