## Abstract

Sintering is a key step in the processing of high performance ceramics. Both the density and the grain size play a crucial role on the ceramic sintering kinetics and the final material properties. The master sintering curve (MSC) is a well-known tool for exploring sintering models kinetics. However, the conventional MSC theory assumes a unique sintering trajectory, while our study on MgAl2O4 spinel shows dissimilar growth response. Park's MSC theory has been applied and compared with the conventional MSC approach for obtaining the activation energy with and without dissimilar grain growth trajectories.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
