The effects of seed particles and shear rate on the size and shape of α-Al2 O3 particles synthesized in glycothermal conditions are described. It is proposed that seed particles provide a low-energy, epitaxial surface in solution to lower the overall surface energy contribution to the nucleation barrier, thus increasing nucleation frequency and subsequently reducing the particle size of hexagonal α-Al2 O3 platelets or polyhedra, depending on synthesis conditions, in 1,4-butanediol solution. Seeds have a significant effect on the size of hexagonal α-Al2 O3 platelets in samples with high seed concentration. The particle size of α-Al2 O3 platelets decreases from 3 to 4 µm to 100 to 200 nm by increasing the number concentration of seeds. In the case of α-Fe2 O3 seeding, the effect of seeding on the size of α-Al2 O3 particles closely resembles the effects obtained with α-Al2 O3 seeding. Regardless of seed concentration, high stirring rate promotes the formation of hexagonal platelets with high aspect ratio, whereas medium and low stirring rates promote the formation of elongated platelets and polyhedra with 14 faces, respectively. 相似文献

α-Al2 O3 platelet powders were synthesized in molten Na2 SO4 flux. The size of α-Al2 O3 platelets was significantly reduced when partially decomposed rather than pure Al2 (SO4 )3 was used as the source of Al2 O3 ; a further reduction in the platelet size was realized through additional seeding with nanosized α-Al2 O3 seeds. The addition of microsized α-Al2 O3 platelet seeds significantly influenced the platelet morphology of the final powder, as well. The platelet size of the final powder was in direct proportion to the size of the platelet seeds, and was in reverse proportion to the cube root of the platelet seed content. 相似文献

The effect of Cr and Fe in solid solution in γ-Al2 O3 on its rate of conversion to α-Al2 O3 at 1100°C was studied by X-ray diffraction. The δ form of Al2 O3 was the principal intermediate phase produced from both pure γ-Al2 O3 and that containing Fe3+ in solid solution, although addition of Fe greatly reduced crystallinity. Reflectance spectra and magnetic susceptibilities showed that Cr exists as Cr6+ in γ-Al2 O3 and as Cr3+ in α-Al2 O3 , with θ-Al2 O3 as the intermediate phase. The intermediates formed rapidly, and the rates of their conversion to α-Al2 O3 were increased by 2 and 5 wt% additions of Fe and decreased by 2 and 4 wt% additions of Cr. An approximately linear relation observed between α-Al2 O3 formation and decrease in specific surface area was only slightly affected by the added ions. This relation can be explained by a mechanism in which the sintering of δ- or θ-Al2 O3 , within the aggregates of their crystallites, is closely coupled with conversion of cubic to hexagonal close packing of O2- ions by synchro-shear. 相似文献

Preparation of Nanometer-Sized α-Alumina Powders by Calcining an Emulsion of Boehmite and Oleic Acid
Chih-Peng Lin Shaw-Bing Wen Ting-Tai Lee 《Journal of the American Ceramic Society》2002,85(1):129-133
This study proposes a method to form ultrafine α-Al2 O3 powders. Oleic acid is mixed with Al(OH)3 gel. The gel is the precursor of the Al2 O3 . After it is mixed and aged, the mixture is calcined in a depleted oxygen atmosphere between 25° and 1100°C. Oleic acid evaporates and decomposes into carbon during the thermal process. Residual carbon prevents the growth of agglomerates during the formation of α-Al2 O3 . The phase transformation in this process is as follows: emulsion →γ-Al2 O3 →δ-Al2 O3 →θ-Al2 O3 →α-Al2 O3 . This process has no clear θ phase. Aging the mixed sample lowers the formation temperature of α-Al2 O3 from 1100° to 1000°C. The average crystallite diameter is 60 nm, measured using Scherrer's equation, which is consistent with TEM observations. 相似文献

An aluminum/Al2 O3 composite body is produced by a displacement reaction between SiO2 and molten aluminum. The growth rate of the reaction layer possesses negative (anomalous) temperature dependence at 1000–1300 K. This study compared reported reaction-kinetic data and investigated causes for this temperature dependence. The reaction product, Al2 O3 , changed from the γ-/θ-Al2 O3 phase to the α-Al2 O3 phase in this temperature range and α-Al2 O3 became the dominant phase at >1273 K. Isothermal transformation of the γ-/θ-Al2 O3 product phases to the α-Al2 O3 phase was also observed. Morphologies and scales of the Al2 O3 phases change drastically at 1173 K; this transition occurred in a spatially discontinuous manner. Reaction-rate retardation was interpreted in terms of occurrence of the competitive and simultaneous reactions to produce different Al2 O3 phases in this temperature range. It was also found that the hydrogen release from the raw SiO2 and the SiO2 phase transformation were not related to the negative temperature dependence. 相似文献

In the system ZrO2 –Al2 O3 , a new method for preparing ZrO2 solid solutions from ZrCl4 and AlCl3 using hydrazine monohydrate is investigated. c -ZrO2 solid solutions containing up to ∼40 mol% Al2 O3 crystallize at low temperatures from amorphous materials. The formation mechanism is discussed from IR spectral data. The values of the lattice parameter α increase linearly from 0.5072 to 0.5105 nm with increasing Al2 O3 content. At higher temperatures, transformation of the solid solutions proceeds as follows: c ( SS ) → t ( ss ) → t ( ss ) +α-Al2 O3 → m +α-Al2 O3 . m -ZrO2 –α-Al2 O3 composite ceramics are fabricated by hot isostatic pressing for 2 h at 1250°C and 196 MPa. Microstructures and mechanical properties are examined, in connection with increasing Al2 O3 content. 相似文献

Ultrafine (<0.1 μm) high-purity θ-Al2 O3 powder containing 3–17.5 mol%α-Al2 O3 seeds was used to investigate the kinetics and microstructural evolution of the θ-Al2 O3 to α-Al2 O3 transformation. The transformation and densification of the powder that occurred in sequence from 960° to 1100°C were characterized by quantitative X-ray diffractometry, dilatometry, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The relative bulk density and the fraction of α phase increased with annealing temperature and holding time, but the crystal size of the α phase remained ∼50 nm in all cases at the transformation stage (≤1020°C). The activation energy and the time exponent of the θ to α transformation were 650 ± 50 kJ/mol and 1.5, respectively. The results implied the transformation occurred at the interface via structure rearrangement caused by the diffusion of oxygen ions in the Al2 O3 lattice. A completely transformed α matrix of uniform porosity was the result of appropriate annealing processes (1020°C for 10 h) that considerably enhanced densification and reduced grain growth in the sintering stage. The Al2 O3 sample sintered at 1490°C for 1 h had a density of 99.4% of the theoretical density and average grain size of 1.67 μm. 相似文献

α - Al2 O3 nanopowders with mean particle sizes of 10, 15, 48, and 80 nm synthesized by the doped α-Al2 O3 seed polyacrylamide gel method were used to sinter bulk Al2 O3 nanoceramics. The relative density of the Al2 O3 nanoceramics increases with increasing compaction pressure on the green compacts and decreasing mean particle size of the starting α-Al2 O3 nanopowders. The densification and fast grain growth of the Al2 O3 nanoceramics occur in different temperature ranges. The Al2 O3 nanoceramics with an average grain size of 70 nm and a relative density of 95% were obtained by a two-step sintering method. The densification and the suppression of the grain growth are achieved by exploiting the difference in kinetics between grain-boundary diffusion and grain-boundary migration. The densification was realized by the slower grain-boundary diffusion without promoting grain growth in second-step sintering. 相似文献

Composites of β-Ce2 O3 ·11Al2 O3 and tetragonal ZrO2 were fabricated by a reductive atmosphere sintering of mixed powders of CeO2 , ZrO2 (2 mol% Y2 O3 ), and Al2 O3 . The composites had microstructures composed of elongated grains of β-Ce2 O3 ·11Al2 O3 in a Y-TZP matrix. The β-Ce2 O3 ·11Al2 O3 decomposed to α-Al2 O3 and CeO2 by annealing at 1500°C for 1 h in oxygen. The elongated single grain of β-Ce2 O3 ·11Al2 O3 divided into several grains of α-Al2 O3 and ZrO2 doped with Y2 O3 and CeO2 . High-temperature bending strength of the oxygen-annealed α-Al2 O3 composite was comparable to the β-Ce2 O3 ·11Al2 O3 composite before annealing. 相似文献

In the presence of a fluorine mineralizer, highly aggregated, <5 μm α-Al2 O3 platelet particles form by vapor transport during the thermal transformation of γ-alumina. Platelet aggregation was determined to occur by platelet inter-growth and by edge nucleation on primary α-Al2 03 platelets. The addition of 1010 α-alumina seed particles/cm3 γ–Al2 O3 resulted in the development of discrete particles during the initial stage of transformation. Impingement of the growing platelets during the latter stage of transformation, however, resulted in intergrowth, a process which was not changed by seeding. Particle size distribution broadening was observed to increase with increasing HF and H2 O concentrations because vapor reactant supersaturation increases the degree of edge nucleation. When initially low HF and H2 O concentrations were used in seeded systems, however, essentially aggregate-free α-Al2 O3 platelets of 10–15 μm were obtained. 相似文献

Spinel platelets were formed from a powder mixture of 3–5 μm wide and 0.2–0.5 μm thick α-Al2 O3 and 1–8 μm (average 3 μm) MgSO4 heated 2 h at 1200°C. The hexagonal platelet shape of the original α-Al2 O3 platelet was maintained in the spinel, although their size was slightly increased and their surface roughened. When a mixture of α-Al2 O3 platelets and MgO powder was heated 3 h at 1400°C, the spinel formed lost the platelet morphology of the alumina. 相似文献

Amorphous Al2 O3 –ZrO2 composite powders with 5–30 mol% ZrO2 have been prepared by adding aqueous ammonia to the mixed solution of aqueous aluminum sulfate and zirconium alkoxide containing 2-propanol. Simultaneous crystallization of γ-Al2 O3 and t -ZrO2 occurs at 870°–980°C. The γ-Al2 O3 transforms to α-Al2 O3 at 1160°–1220°C. Hot isostatic pressing has been performed for 1 h at 1400°C under 196 MPa using α-Al2 O3 – t -ZrO2 composite powders. Dense ZrO2 -toughened Al2 O3 (ZTA) ceramics with homogeneous-dispersed ZrO2 particles show excellent mechanical properties. The toughening mechanism is discussed. The microstructures and t / m ratios of ZTA are examined, with emphasis on the relation between strength and fracture toughness. 相似文献

This paper involves novel fabrication processes for polycrystalline α-Al2 O3 -matrix composite fibers that contain nanosized yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) particles. Dense α-Al2 O3 /YAG nanocomposite fibers with a fine and homogeneous microstructure can be successfully fabricated via a modified sol-gel process and α-Al2 O3 seed-particle addition. YAG nanoparticles have been homogeneously dispersed within Al2 O3 -matrix grains as well as at grain boundaries. Effects of α-Al2 O3 seed particles and YAG nanodispersions on crystallization and microstructure development of nanocomposite fibers are discussed. 相似文献

Analysis of Phase Distribution for Ceramic Coatings Formed by Microarc Oxidation on Aluminum Alloy 总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26

The phase distribution for ceramic coatings formed by microarc oxidation (MAO) on 2024 aluminum alloy was investigated using X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the ceramic coatings mainly consisted of α-Al2 O3 and γ-Al2 O3 phases. The percentage of α-Al2 O3 gradually increased from the external surface to the interface between the coating and the substrate of samples. The surface layer of coatings mainly contained the γ-Al2 O3 phase, and its fraction of the composition remained almost constant with oxidation time. It is believed that the difference in the amounts of α-Al2 O3 and γ-Al2 O3 phases in the different layers of coatings was caused by the various cooling rates of molten Al2 O3 , which temporarily existed in the microarc zone. 相似文献

Thermal reactions in 93% Al2 O3 -7% MgO and 95.8% Al2 O3 -4.2% MgO gels seeded with α-Al2 O3 , MgAl2 O4 , α-Fe2 O3 , and SiO2 , sols were investigated by differential thermal analysis to determine the extent of nucleation catalysis of solid-state reactions. Seeding with α-Al2 O3 lowered the α-Al2 O3 crystallization temperature in these xerogels by 100° to 150°C. Spinel seeds have much less effect on the γ-α transition, and α-Fe2 O3 and SiO2 seeds do not affect it significantly. Isostructural seeding of gels may therefore permit lower ceramic processing temperatures. 相似文献

Mixtures of La2 O3 and Al2 O3 with various La contents were prepared by co-precipitation from La(NO3 )3 and Al(NO3 )3 solutions and calcined at 800° to 1400°C. The addition of small amounts of La2 O3 (2 to 10 mol%) to Al2 O3 gives rise to the formation of lanthanum β-alumina (La 2 O3 ·11–14Al2 O3 ) upon heating to above 1000°C and retards the transformation of γ-Al2 O3 to α-Al2 O3 and associated sintering. 相似文献

Aqueous solutions of zirconium acetate and aluminum nitrate were spray pyrolyzed at 250°C and upquenched to different temperatures to yield metastable solid solutions of composition Zr(1− x ) Alx O(2− x /2) . An amorphous oxide forms first during pyrolysis which subsequently crystallizes as a single phase for x ≤ 0.57 (≤40 mol% Al2 O3 ). The crystallization temperature increased with Al2 O3 content. Electron diffraction, supported by Raman spectroscopy, indicates that the initial phase is tetragonal. At higher temperatures, the initial solid solation partitions to other metastable phases, viz., t -ZrO2 +γ-Al2 O3 , prior to achieving their equilibrium phase assemblage, m -ZrO2 +α-Al2 O3 . Partitioning yields a nanocomposite microstructure with grain sizes of 20–100 nm, compared to the 3 to 5 nm in the initial, single phase. Compositions containing 45 to 50 mol% Al2 O3 concurrently crystallize and partition. The structure selected during crystallization and the partitioning phenomena are discussed in terms of diffusional constraints during crystallization, which are conceptually similar to those operating during rapid solidification. 相似文献

Nanostructured Al2 O3 powders have been synthesized by combustion of aluminum powder in a microwave oxygen plasma, and characterized by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The main phase is γ-Al2 O3 , with a small amount of δ-Al2 O3 . The particles are truncated octahedral in shape, with mean particle sizes of 21–24 nm. The effect of reaction chamber pressure on the phase composition and the particle size was studied. The γ-alumina content increases and the mean particle size decreases with decreasing pressure. No α-Al2 O3 appears in the final particles. Electron microscopy studies find that a particle may contain more than one phase. 相似文献

As-prepared powders are mixtures of AlO(OH) gel and amorphous ZrO2 solid solutions containing Y2 O3 and Al2 O3 . The formation process leading to α-Al2 O3 - t -ZrO2 composite powders is examined. Hot isostatic pressing is performed for 2 h at 1400°C under 196 MPa using θ-Al2 O3 - t -ZrO2 composite powders. The resulting dense, sintered α-Al2 O3 - t -ZrO2 composites show excellent mechanical strength. 相似文献

The possibility of eliminating finger or vermicular growth of α-Al2 O3 particles obtained by calcination of boehmite was examined. Heterogeneous precipitation of boehmite in a well-dispersed θ-Al2 O3 suspension was first prepared, in which the mass ratio of boehmite to θ-crystallite was evaluated to form agglomerates of similar sizes that will form α-Al2 O3 crystallites of <100 nm in diameter. θ- to α-phase transformation of alumina experiences a nucleation and growth mechanism, with the critical size of nucleation being ∼25 nm for θ-Al2 O3 and the size for accomplishment of transformation followed by finger growth being ∼100 nm. Hence, fabricating agglomerates that would form α-Al2 O3 crystallites with sizes <100 nm accompanied with appropriate thermal treatments can be a method for obtaining α-Al2 O3 crystallites free of finger growth. It is found that proper preparation of the agglomerate with appropriate size may initiate a simultaneous and lower temperature θ- to α-Al2 O3 phase transformation for such powder systems, substantially limiting the mass transfer among the newly formed α-Al2 O3 particles. Moreover, α-Al2 O3 crystallites free of finger growth can be obtained. 相似文献
