Abstract:The effects of 6% magnesium-aluminum spinel (MgAl2O4) on the microstructures and mechanical properties of 95 alumina (Al2O3) ceramics sintered at 1 550 ℃ with different holding times (2 h and 4 h) were studied. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to observe the ceramic and examine phase assemblage. The results showed that the grain size of Al2O3 ceramics without MgAl2O4 was coarser and have lower density. Prolonging the holding time could increase the density of the ceramics, thereby increasing the hardness of the material. The Vickers hardness with sintered 2 h and 4 h were 12.6±0.4 GPa and 14.7±0.4 GPa, respectively. When 6% MgAl2O4 was added, the grain size of Al2O3 ceramics was decreased, and the relative density was also increased. The hardness were increased to 13.5±0.4 GPa (1 550 ℃/2 h) and 15.5±0.9 GPa (1 550℃/4 h).
