Abstract

In present work, sintering ability of LiF: Mg, Cu, P powders has been studied. At first, Samples were heat treated in different sintering temperatures and times. Then, bulk density and apparent porosity of specimens were measured by Archimedes' method. Finally, Micro structural analysis of sintered LiF samples was carried out with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that sintering behavior of LiF is very sensitive to temperature changes. Moreover, optimum sintering time of samples was long, which can be getting to more than 50 hours for some samples.
