| Abstract: | The effect of sintering atmosphere on the final density and electrical properties of alumina compacts has been investigated using two different oxygen pressures: air and CO/CO2. Measuring of electrical behavior has been considered a tool for determining the mechanism responsible for densification. Finally, the importance of a reducing atmoshphere on the electrical behavior of polycrystalline alumina is pointed out. |
