Abstract: | ![]() The morphology of the quenched and slowly crystallized samples in the ZrO2-Al2O3 system is investigated in the composition range 25–70 wt % ZrO2. It is revealed that, irrespective of the cooling rate, the samples contain large baddeleyite (or corundum) crystals, eutectic mixtures, and characteristic regions of intergrown elongated baddeleyite and corundum grains with micron sizes. These regions have the same phase composition at any initial ratio between zirconium and aluminum oxides and at any cooling rates of the melt. A hypothesis is put forward that these regions are products of the decomposition of ZrO2 · 2Al2O3 associates. |
