Variations in lamination conditions, such as pressure, temperature, and time, changed the laminated density of multilayered alumina but had no effect on the sintered density. The present results showed that sintering shrinkage values differ with lamination conditions and vary inversely with laminated density. When lamination was accomplished using a press die, the difference in shrinkage between the X-Y and the Z directions was <1%. The effect of the press die could be explained by introducing a new factor, the SDF (shear deformation factor), which represents the ratio of area change in the X-Y direction before and after lamination. The lamination of green sheets exhibited almost the same behavior as did the compression of granules. A linear relationship also was found between laminated density and the logarithm of lamination pressure. Results for sintering shrinkage in the overall range of measured laminated densities showed that sintering shrinkage behavior could be divided into three regions; that is, the laminates had three packing structures with different laminated densities. A new factor (k), related to packing structure values before and after sintering, was introduced to explain the sintering shrinkage behavior. Each k value was obtained from the relationship between laminated density and sintering shrinkage. Comparing k factors for the laminated densities (X-Y and Z) under various lamination conditions made it possible to systematically analyze variations in the sintering shrinkage behavior of laminates with processing conditions. An estimation of sintering shrinkage was possible from that analysis.
PACS 66.30.Dn, 72.60.+g The structure, microstructure, dielectric, and transport properties of the anion deficient perovskite solid solutions (La,Sr)(Ga,Mg,M)O 3-δ with M=Fe, Ni have been studied. Substitution of iron and nickel for gallium up to about 20 and 40 at.% respectively, leads to the perovskite lattice contraction due to the cation substitutions by the transition elements. The transition from pure ionic to mixed ionic-electronic conductivity was observed for both the systems studied. Both the enhancement of total conductivity and increasing in the thermal expansion coefficient values has been proved to correlate with the increasing amount of weakly bounded oxygen species in the Fe or Ni-doped ceramics. The oxygen ionic conductivity has been estimated from the kinetic experiments using the dc-conductivity and dilatometry methods under the condition of the stepwise change of the atmosphere from nitrogen to oxygen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
