abstract = {One of the most challenging steps in processing sodium
potassium niobate (KNN) ceramics is sintering. At
temperatures close to the solidus line, the high volatility
of the alkaline becomes an issue of major concern for the
sintering process. While alkaline evaporation is frequently
related to difficulties in densification, few work on the
effects of alkaline vapor pressure on microstructure have
been reported. KNN materials with alkaline/niobium ratios
ranging from 1.02 to 0.98 were sintered at 1105 °C. Two
different sintering setups were used. An alkaline rich
sintering atmosphere was provided when sintering the
materials embedded in (K0.5Na0.5)1.02NbO3 powder, while
reference ceramics were sintered in loosely covered
crucibles. Resulting from the alkaline content in the
sintering atmosphere a shift toward microstructures
considered typical for batch compositions with higher
alkaline content was detected. Densities decrease for KNN
with alkaline excess and stoichiometric KNN, whereas they
tend to increase for niobium excess material.},
