“…Magnesium aluminate (MgAl 2 O 4 ) spinel (MAS) has garnered considerable attention from academia and industry because of its high melting point (2135 °C), hardness, and strength. , MAS can be employed in neutron-radiation resistance, humidity sensing, and refractory applications. − In addition to its stability at high temperatures, MAS is transparent under visible light and infrared radiation, making it particularly well suited for armor applications. , Furthermore, the fabrication process for MAS requires lower sintering temperatures compared to alumina, sapphire, and ALON fabrications . Being a member of the MgO–Al 2 O 3 binary system, MAS can be synthesized using various methods, including sol–gel synthesis, solid-state reactions, molten salt synthesis, coprecipitation, and self-combustion. − …”
