Abstract:   (29713 Views)
Effect of MgO addition on reaction sintering of aluminium titanate was investigated using equimolar Al2O3 and TiO2 after firing the samples at 1400 C for four hours. Results showed that MgO addition enhanced the sintering process by magnesium aluminates formation, which led to lower porosity and improved densification of the samples. Physical and mechanical properties showed that samples containing 5 wt% MgO was the optimum composition.
