Příprava transparentní pokročilé keramiky na bázi Al2O3.MgO / Preparation of transparent advanced ceramic base on Al2O3.MgO

Ceramic materials are in general characterized by high hardness, high modulus of elasticity, excellent abrasion resistance, etc. These properties make ceramics among others useful in optically transparent applications. An ideal form of optically transparent ceramic material is monocrystalline. However, the monocrystalline fabrication is expensive and/or time consuming. From this point of view polycrystalline ceramics is preferred. But the polycrystalline transparent ceramics fabrication is fraught with complications such as porosity, inappropriate grain size and insufficient purity. These circumstances could be solved by using sintering additives. This master’s thesis compiles literature research summarizing modern technologies of advanced ceramics sintering and ceramic polycrystalline microstructure dependence on its optical properties. The experimental part of this thesis focuses on the fabrication parameters of polycrystalline advanced ceramics based on Al2O3MgO and evaluation of their optical properties. Polycrystalline magnesium-aluminate spinel with sintering additive contents 0; 0.3 and 0.6 weight % LiOH was fabricated by optimalisation of Spark Plasma Sintering cycle. Fully dense ceramic samples of polycrystalline magnesium-aluminate spinel with favourable optical properties in visible spectrum radiation were achieved. Real In-line Transmission RIT and Total Forward Transmittance TFT were analysed. RIT exceeded 84 % at wavelength of 633 nm and TFT exceeded 83 % at wavelength above 860 nm. The decisive factors in terms of the optical properties of ceramics sintered with sintering additives were the amount of time-spending at high temperatures and the purity of ceramic powders.
