Prediction of densification and microstructure evolution for α-Al2O3 during pressureless sintering at low heating rates based on the master sintering curve theory

The master sintering curve (MSC), in which the sintered density is a unique function of the integral of a temperature function over time, is insensitive to the heating path. Densification of α-Al2O3 with the mean particle size of 2.5μm was continuously recorded during heating at 0.5, 2 and 5oC/min....
