Figure 4.4. Densification rate curve <strong>for</strong> powder compacts (UP 150MPa) <strong>of</strong> alum<strong>in</strong>a<br />

CR6, CR15 CR30F, CT3000SG and AKP50 dur<strong>in</strong>g s<strong>in</strong>ter<strong>in</strong>g at a heat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

rate <strong>of</strong> 5 o C/m<strong>in</strong>.<br />

In addition to these curves <strong>for</strong> different alum<strong>in</strong>a powders, the relative shr<strong>in</strong>kage,<br />

relative density and densification rate <strong>of</strong> the CR6 alum<strong>in</strong>a powder were <strong>in</strong>vestigated at<br />

1500 o C <strong>for</strong> 1m<strong>in</strong>. Figure 4.5 shows relative shr<strong>in</strong>kage <strong>of</strong> alum<strong>in</strong>a CR6 samples at a<br />

heat<strong>in</strong>g rate <strong>of</strong> 5 o C/m<strong>in</strong> at 1500 o C. Figures 4.6 and 4.7 show relative density and<br />

densification rate <strong>of</strong> alum<strong>in</strong>a CR6 sample at a heat<strong>in</strong>g rate <strong>of</strong> 5 o C/m<strong>in</strong>.<br />

Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the results <strong>of</strong> tests <strong>of</strong> 1350 o C, the density <strong>of</strong> all alum<strong>in</strong>a powders<br />

have been <strong>in</strong>creased <strong>in</strong> the 4 hours soak<strong>in</strong>g time. However, the result <strong>of</strong> test <strong>for</strong> 1500 o C,<br />

it is noticed that the density is <strong>in</strong>creased parabolically and the densification rate <strong>of</strong> CR6<br />

is higher than the test conducted at 1350 o C.<br />
