ABSTRACT
We investigated the property changes of MgO powders sintered at temperatures ranging from $700^{circ}C$ to $1900^{circ}C$ for 5minutes at a pressure of 2.7 GPa for a high-pressure high-temperature(HPHT) diamond synthesis process. The physical properties of the sintered MgO powders were characterized by optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Vickers hardness tests, and by the apparent density, and X-ray diffractometry. An optical micro-analysis showed that white MgO powders became black after sintering due to carbon contamination from the graphite heat source. FE-SEM revealed the growth in the grain size of the MgO powders from $0.3{mu}m$ to $50{mu}m$ after sintering at $1700^{circ}C$. The hardness and apparent density increased to $1800^{circ}C$ while the samples were dedensified at $1900^{circ}C$ due to the growth of isolated pores. According to the XRD analysis, no phase transformation occurred in the MgO powders. These results suggest that HPHT-sintered MgO powders can show an accelerated sintering process characterized by grain neck growth, pore connections, isolated pore growth and dedensification in 5 minutes, while these processes with the conventional sintering process take at least 5 hours.
Key words: MgO, HPHT sintering, XRD, Vickers hardness, Dedensification
