Reaction controlled sintering (RCS) was applied to the formation of multicomponent compounds in the Aurivillius family, BaBi
2Nb
2O
9 (BBN) and BaBi
4Ti
4O
15 (BBIT), to produce densified bulk samples at a lower temperature. In the RSC process, binary compound powders of BaNb
2O
6 and Bi
4Ti
3O
12 preformed by 1
st-step calcination were mixed with powders containing the third component, Bi
2O
3 and BaTiO
3, for the production of BBN and BBIT, respectively. They were formed into powder compacts and heated to a fixed temperature during which both reaction and densification proceed. Changes in the extent of reaction and fractional shrinkage with heating temperature were evaluated in each system. It is essential to elucidate the reaction route by which the required solid phase could be obtained at lower temperature and then to optimize a processing factor correlated to the reaction and densification activities of the materials involved.
