Abstract:Fabrication of transparent AlON ceramics is extra sensitive to both particle size of starting powder and sintering additive due to shuttling transformation between AlON and Al2O3 + AlN during heating. One possible solution is to select robust additive to suppress the shuttling transformation. In this work, three AlON powders with different median particle sizes of 0.6, 0.9, and 1.1 μm were prepared. After studying the effect of CaCO3 on densification process, AlON ceramics with the maximum transmittance of ≥81… Show more
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.
