Sintering of Thoria Powders:—Part III Studies on Hot Pressing of Thoria Powders

Abstract
Sintering behaviour of thoria powders prepared from oxalate, carbonate and tannate by calcination at 600°C and 1000°C have been studied during hot pressing, in a graphite die heated by induction. Dimensional changes of the powder compact during sintering were followed and shrinkages were determined under different experimental conditions up to a temperature of 1300°C. An attempt has been made to relate the sintering behaviour of the various thoria powders with their origin and thermal history.
