| The influence of morphology of magnesia powders on
their sinterability has been studied. Magnesia powders
were prepared by calcination of organic salts and their
morphology was studied by electron microscopy. Powders
derived from acetate, tannate, oxinate and formate were
found to have an irregular globular morphology and such
powders were found to be highly sinterable. In comparison,
powders derived from oxalate, succinate and phthalate were
found to retain the regular geometric crystalline shapes
of their parent compounds and were found to be poorly
sinterable. |
