Abstract

Sintering behavior of gel-derived alumina containing 2.8 mol percent cerium oxide (Ce2 O3) was studied at 1400°C. The growth morphology of alpha alumina in cerium oxide-containing aluminas was found to be significantly different form that of pure gel-derived alumina. Alumina gel containing 2.8 mol % Ce2 O3 was found to densify to 81% of the theoretical density as compared to 65% for pure alumina gels. The powdered cerium oxide-containing gels, pressed into a pellet, could be sintered to 97% of the theoretical density at 1400°C as compared to 87% found for pure alumina gel powder processed in an identical manner.
