A sintered leucite body with a 99.0% relative density was obtained by heating the leucite powder cylindrical pellet at 1250℃ for 1h. The mechanical properties of this dense leucite body were determined. The bending strength, fracture toughness, elastic modulus and Vickers hardness of the body were 173MPa, 2.3MPa・m^<1/2>, 63GPa and 5.3GPa, respectively., application/pdf}, pages = {488--490}, title = {Fabrication and Mechanical Properties of Sintered Leucite Body}, volume = {113}, year = {2005} }
