Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable production of sintered compact having high light- transmitting property by adding an oxide of europium, dysprosium or holmium as a coloring agent to utterbium, aluminum and garnet which are main ingredients. CONSTITUTION:An oxide of Er, Dy or Ho or inorganic salt capable of providing these oxides or alkoxide by heating is added as a coloring agent to Y2O3 powder and Al2O3 powder having <=99.9% purity and >=5m<2>/g specific surface (BET value) at an amount of 0.05-37.5mol% expressed in terms of each oxide and both components are blended. The blend powder is calcined at 1200-1500 deg.C and subjected to pressure forming at pressure of >=0.5ton/cm<2> and then sintered at 1600-1850 deg.C. The sintered compact is subjected to mirror polishing to provide colored YAG sintered compact having light transmitting property and being >=10% in linear transmittance in 0.8mum wavelength using a sample having 1mm thickness. The sintered compact is reduced in scattering in crystalline grain boundaries, because it uses cubic YAG as a matrix and free from grain boundary with coloring agent, because the coloring agent is subjected to solid solution in the matrix and has garnet structure consisting of single phase.

If it is less than 600C, sintering will be insufficient and neither clear color development nor sufficient transparency will be obtained, and if it exceeds 1850U, the coloring component will evaporate and a liquid phase or second phase will occur, resulting in a deviation in the composition ratio. This results in a significant decrease in translucency.

If the ratio is less than 9/Am2, densification does not proceed, and therefore no improvement in in-line transmittance is observed. Also, the temperature of HIP treatment is 18
When it exceeds 5 Or, the composition ratio shifts due to evaporation, the generation of a liquid phase or a second phase, and the light transmittance is significantly reduced. Note that the pressure medium for the HIP process is preferably an inert gas such as Ar, oxygen gas, or a mixed gas thereof.
