Abstract
IN recent years much attention has been paid to the preparation of ‘active’ oxide powders by decomposition of compounds; the oxide powders obtained in this way are agglomerates of fine crystallites, have high surface area and show enhanced sintering characteristics compared with the highly calcined powders normally used1. With pure powders prepared in this way, variations have been noted in the sintering behaviour which are difficult to account for.
