Abstract

Alumina rods doped with MgO have been sintered by rapid translation through three plasma devices, namely a microwave induced plasma, a hollow cathode discharge, and an RF induction coupled plasma. Rapid densification to high density and fine grain size was observed. Some similarities and significant differences existed among the different devices.
