Relative density curves <strong>of</strong> the different alum<strong>in</strong>a samples that conta<strong>in</strong> Ti wire is<br />

illustrated <strong>in</strong> Figure 4.24. It is seen that the densities <strong>of</strong> the CR6-Ti and the CR15-Ti<br />

samples are 78% and 91%, respectively. Figures 4.3 and 4.24 are compared and it is<br />

possible to concluded that the density <strong>of</strong> the samples is higher at 800 o C.<br />

In addition to relative density curves <strong>of</strong> samples conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g Ti wire,<br />

densification curves <strong>of</strong> these samples are given <strong>in</strong> Figure 4.25. If we compare the Figure<br />

4.4 and Figure 4.25, we can see that the diffusion <strong>of</strong> titanium <strong>in</strong>creases the densification<br />
