Abstract The rationship between surface pre-oxidation and low-temperature sintering of uranium dioxide powders was studied in this paper. The oxidation processess of uranium dioxide powders in air were analyied by DSC-TG.Morphology, phases and properties of modified powders were tested by SEM, XRD and BET. Sintering properties of uranium dioxide powders before and after modification were compared and researched by thermal expansion instrument. The Results show that a process of 240℃×8h in air is a better process to surface modify uranium dioxide powders in our conditions. Beginning shrinkage temperature of modified powser pellets in Ar decresed from 1096-1171℃to 572-576℃, average line shrinking rate increased from 151.5266×10-6/K to 308.2275×10-6/K, density of the uranium dioxide pellets increased also from 8.52g/cm3 to 9.44g/cm3. Obviously, sintering densitying of modified powders is more rapid and higher than before. Density of the modified powders sintered pellets at 1300℃×5h/N2+5%CO2-1500℃×1h/H2 is 10.26 g/cm3。
