Impact of sintering thermal history on MgO‐doped alumina: Reduction of grain growth constant through high heating rates Open
This work examines the impact of sintering thermal history on kinetics of grain growth for 1264 ppm (0.1 wt%) MgO‐doped alumina. Results suggest that sintering with a high heating rate in the order of ∼10 3 °C min −1 retards grain growth r…
