Cover Story: A transparent nanostructured ceramic material (MgAl2O4) was fabricated using the SPS method. Commercial spinel nano-powders were sintered at different temperatures (1300 °C, 1350 °C and 1400 °C) during the fabrication process. This study demonstrates the significant impact of the SPS sintering temperature on the mechanical and optical properties of transparent spinel. Various techniques were employed for comprehensive characterization. The findings indicate that optimum transparency in the ceramics was attained when sintered at 1350 °C, along with a favorable combination of mechanical properties. These transparent ceramics hold great potential for a wide range of applications, including optical lenses and transparent armors. View this paper
