Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sintered scandium oxide showing a good translucency within visible and infrared regions, using an industrially applicable method. SOLUTION: A molded product whose green density is >=58% of the theoretical density and Al content is 5-100 wt.ppm, is prepared using a raw material powder of highly pure scandium oxide with a Si content of =99.9%. The molded product is burned at 1,400-1,800 deg.C under a vacuum, from which binders have been removed through heating. The process yields translucent ceramics showing a linear transmittance of >=77% at a wavelength of 500 nm-5 μm.
