Further, in the case of HIP processing, there is a problem that the apparatus becomes large and the productivity is not good. Further, in the case of manufacturing by hot pressing, there is a drawback that carbon enters the sintered body from the carbon used for the molding die and the transparency decreases.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The inventors of the present invention have sufficiently studied such problems, and as a result, Al 2 O
After mixing 3 powders and Y 2 O 3 powders, calcining and crushing them, and using them as raw material powder,
The present inventors have found that a good light-transmitting sintered body can be obtained without using IP treatment, hot pressing, or urea precipitation, and have reached the present invention.

That is, according to the method of manufacturing the translucent YAG sintered body of the present invention, the Al 2 O 3 powder and the Y 2 O 3 powder each having a purity of 99.9% or more are mixed, and then 1000 to 1600 ° C.
After calcination in a crushed state, it is pulverized into a raw material powder, and the raw material powder is molded into a predetermined shape.
This is a method of firing at a temperature of 600 to 1900 ° C.

Here, the use of Al 2 O 3 powder and Y 2 O 3 powder each having a purity of 99.9% or more is because impurities are present in the sintered body when the purity is lower than 99.9%. However, the translucency is reduced.

Further, calcination of the mixed powder of Al 2 O 3 powder and Y 2 O 3 powder at 1000 to 1600 ° C. causes YAG formation to some extent (about 10 to 50%). , YAG to suppress abnormal grain growth and maintain activation. Therefore, if the calcination temperature is lower than 1000 ° C., YAG formation is unlikely to occur, and if it is higher than 1600 ° C., the activation is decreased, and a dense sintered body cannot be prepared, or crushing takes a long time. Because it will cost you. Then, the calcination changes the crystals from the mixed powder of Al 2 O 3 powder and Y 2 O 3 powder to YAM and from YAM to YAG, but the calcination changes the volume expansion when changing from YAM to YAG. This is because sintering is performed without causing volume expansion in firing after forming, thereby suppressing the generation of voids and defects in the sintered body and creating a uniform sintered body.

The firing at a temperature of 1600 to 1900 ° C. is because firing at a temperature lower than 1600 ° C. causes insufficient sintering, does not densify, and lowers light transmission. This is because if the firing is performed at a higher temperature, abnormal grain growth occurs, the pores are taken into the grains, and the translucency is reduced. Further, evaporation of YAG occurs and a homogeneous sintered body can be produced. Because it will disappear.

Further, firing in a reducing atmosphere is
This is because the diffusion of H 2 and N 2 is faster than that in the atmosphere, so that the sintered body can be easily densified. Vacuum firing is also good for the same reason.

When the mixed powder of Al 2 O 3 powder and Y 2 O 3 powder is baked as it is at a temperature of 1600 ° C. or higher, YAM is produced from the mixed powder and the crystal changes from YAM to YAG,
