Abstract
MgF2, which has a highly stable chemical structure, was observed to oxidize , forming MgO when a 30 wt% Ag-MgF2 cermet was subjected to oxidation in a low vacuum >100 Pa at a sintering temperature of 600 degrees C or above. To avoid MgO formation the vacuum gas pressure needed to be below 10(-3) Pa. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
