Abstract
This paper investigates densification and grain growth evolutions during gas pressure sintering of alumina. Isothermal sintering runs are performed under different nitrogen pressures: atmospheric pressure and 2 MPa. Experimental data are fitted thanks to constitutive laws in order to understand nitrogen pressure effect on densification and grain growth mechanisms of a fine-grained alumina. An optimal run of densification is proposed as an application of these results.
