Abstract
A filtered solution of barium hydroxide octahydrate reacted with an aqueous solution of boric acid to provide hydrated .gamma. barium borate having a barium to boron ratio of 1:2 and having fine particle size. The hydrated .gamma. barium borate was converted to the anhydrous .gamma. form at about 300.degree. to 400.degree. C. Further heating to about 600.degree. to 800.degree. C. converted the product to .beta.-BaB.sub.2 O.sub.4. The conversion to the .beta.-form is preferably during sintering of a ceramic dielectric composition to which the .gamma.-BaB.sub.2 O.sub.4 has been added as a flux.
