The need for materials for demanding optical applications has engendered a resurgent
interest in transparent ceramics. Transparent polycrystalline magnesium aluminate spinel is …

Transparent ceramics and glass-ceramics intended for armor applications still present
limitations such as high production cost, manufacture of larger parts, among other …

Transparent polycrystalline magnesium aluminate spinel (PMAS), owing to its high optical
transparency with acceptable mechanical properties and chemical stabilities, exhibits great …

To investigate the sintering mechanism of magnesium aluminate (MgAl 2 O 4) spinel
material. In this study, MgAl 2 O 4 spinel materials were synthesized by single-step reaction …

Various transparent ceramics have been fabricated by different processing techniques.
Previously, it was accepted that, to be transparent ceramics, materials should have an …

This study was devoted to the understanding of the influence of MgAl 2 O 4 ceramic
properties on their ballistic performances. By modifying the processing parameters, ceramics …

A high pressure SPS (spark plasma sintering) process was applied for consolidation of un-
doped polycrystalline magnesium aluminate spinel. This approach allows fabricating a fully …

Carbon contamination during the SPS processing was investigated in the spinel, alumina
and zirconia. The carbon contamination changes with the SPS conditions and the target …

Hot pressing has been investigated as a method for producing highly transparent, cost-
effective MgAl 2 O 4 for optical applications. The hot pressing of stoichiometric Al 2 O 3–MgO …
