With the assistance of heat treatment, forsterite (Mg 2SiO 4) powder was successfully synthesized using talc and magnesium oxide as the basic starting materials. Sintering behavior and mechanical properties were evaluated upon sintering the synthesized forsterite compacts from 1200 �C to 1500 �C. Fo...
