Abstract
ABSTRACT The microstructure and mechanical properties of polycrystalline spinel ceramics (MgAl2O4) with high translucency were investigated. Several kinds of polycrystalline spinel ceramics were prepared under various sintering conditions, and single-crystal spinel and sapphire were used for comparison. The bending strength of polycrystalline spinel with smaller grain size fabricated without sintering aids exceeded that of single-crystal spinel. The bending strength at 1000°C tended to be lower than that at room temperature. The fracture toughness of polycrystalline spinel prepared without sintering aids measured by SEVNB was higher than that of spinel with sintering aids. By estimation of fracture strength considering different fracture origins, the polycrystalline spinel prepared without sintering aids might be fractured mainly from defects around residual spherical voids. If the size of voids can be minimized in polycrystalline spinel fabricated without sintering aids, both high transmission and good mechanical properties could be achieved.
