Mechanical mixture of γ-Al2 O3 and amorphous SiO2 , and diphasic Al2 O3 /SiO2 gels of three different compositions were synthesized. They were subjected to heat treatment to various temperatures in the range 900°–1600°C. Qualitative X-ray diffraction data show that these diphasic gels do not crystallize to a combined mixture of θ-Al2 O3 and α-Al2 O3 polymorphs at the intermediate stage, prior to mullite formation. Estimated mullite formation data show that the course of its formation from mixed oxides was different from that of diphasic gels. Results are compared with previous findings and the concept of Al–Si spinel formation in the phase transformation of stoichiometric diphasic gel system is substantiated. 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

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

An anhydrous alumina (Al2 O3 ) sol was prepared from aluminum isopropoxide and an organic solvent, using an acetic acid stabilizer. The complete conversion of the dried sol to α-Al2 O3 was accomplished at a temperature of 950°C by a single transition via γ-Al2 O3 . Al2 O3 that was deposited via dip coating resulted in amorphous films, even after annealing at 1100°C, because of the silicon diffusion from the substrate. This phenomenon was avoided using a rapid thermal treatment in a flame after dip coating, which resulted in uniform thin films that are converted to α-Al2 O3 via heat treatment. 相似文献

The rate of ZnA12 O4 formation for binary powder mixtures of ZnO and α-Al2 O3 (dense coarse particles and weak agglomerates of fine powder) fired in air or O2 atmospheres was measured and the microstructures of those systems were observed by scanning electron microscopy. With dispersed dense particles of α-Al2 O3 , the Al2 O3 surfaces were covered with ZnO and the spinel grew into the particles maintaining essentially a constant reaction interface area. Calculations based on geometric measurements and use of Jander's equation gave a similar high activation energy, 354 kJ/mol, which corresponds to the activation energy of volume diffusion of Zn2+ in ZnAl2 O4 . An oxygen atmosphere had no effect. With a matrix of fine α-Al2 O3 powder and dispersed granules of ZnO, a higher reaction rate occurred because of an increase in reaction interface area due to penetration of the powder compact matrix by ZnO vapor, which was enhanced by an O2 atmosphere. The reaction layer grew into the alumina matrix adjoining the ZnO granules with a parabolic rate law. Apparent activation energies below ∼200 kJ/mol were calculated. 相似文献

Polycrystalline Al2 O3 was chemically vapor-deposited onto sintered Al2 O3 substrates by reaction of AlCl3 with (1) H2 O, (2) CO:H2 , and (3) O2 at 1000° and 1500°C and 0.5 and 5.0 torr. Although the thermodynamics of all these reactions predict the formation of solid Al2 O3 , the deposition rate of the first reaction was considerably greater than that of the second. The third reaction was so slow that no measurable deposit was formed in 6 h at 1500°C. Formation of dense deposits of α-Al2 O3 was favored by increasing temperature and decreasing pressure. Microstructural examination of the dense deposits showed long columnar grains, the largest of which extended through the deposit from the substrate to the surface. 相似文献

High-quality alumina ceramics were fabricated by a hot pressing with MgO and SiO2 as additives using α-Al2 O3 -seeded nanocrystalline γ-Al2 O3 powders as the raw material. Densification behavior, microstructure evolution, and mechanical properties of alumina were investigated from 1250°C to 1450°C. The seeded γ-Al2 O3 sintered to 98% relative density at 1300°C. Obvious grain growth was observed at 1400°C and plate-like grains formed at 1450°C. For the 1350°C hot-pressed alumina ceramics, the grain boundary regions were generally clean. Spinel and mullite formed in the triple-grain junction regions. The bending strength and fracture toughness were 565 MPa and 4.5 MPa·m1/2 , respectively. For the 1300°C sintered alumina ceramics, the corresponding values were 492 MPa and 4.9 MPa·m1/2 . 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

Porous Cr3 C2 grains (∼300 to 500 μm) with ∼10 wt% of Cr2 O3 were prepared by heating a mixture of MgCr2 O4 grains and graphite powder at 1450° to 1650°C for 2 h in an Al2 O3 crucible covered by an Al2 O3 lid with a hole in the center. The porous Cr3 C2 grains exhibited a three-dimensional network skeleton structure. The mean open pore diameter and the specific surface area of the porous grains formed at 1600°C for 2 h were ∼3.5 (μm and ∼6.7 m2 /g, respectively. The present work investigated the morphology and the formation conditions of the porous Cr3 C2 grains, and this paper will discuss the formation mechanism of those grains in terms of chemical thermodynamics. 相似文献

In the system ZrO2 -Al2 O3 , cubic ZrO2 solid solutions containing up to 40 mol% Al2 O3 crystallize at low temperatures from amorphous materials prepared by the simultaneous hydrolysis of zirconium and aluminum alkoxides. The values of the lattice parameter, a, increase linearly from 0.5095 to 0.5129 nm with increasing Al2 O3 content. At higher temperatures, the solid solutions transform into tetragonal ZrO2 and α-Al2 O3 . Pure ZrO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal form at 415° to 440°C. 相似文献

In the system TiO2 —Al2 O3 , TiO2 (anatase, tetragonal) solid solutions crystallize at low temperatures (with up to ∼ 22 mol% Al2 O3 ) from amorphous materials prepared by the simultaneous hydrolysis of titanium and aluminum alkoxides. The lattice parameter a is relatively constant regardless of composition, whereas parameter c decreases linearly with increasing Al2 O3 . At higher temperatures, anatase solid solutions transform into TiO2 (rutile) with the formation of α-Al2 O3 . Powder characterization is studied. Pure anatase crystallizes at 220° to 360°C, and the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation occurs at 770° to 850°C. 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

Addition of α-Fe2 O3 seed particles to alkoxide-derived boehmite sols resulted in a 10-fold increase in isothermal rate constants for the transformation of γ- to α-Al2 O3 . Changes in porosity and surface area with sintering temperature showed no effect of seeding on coarsening of the transition alumina gels, but the 200-fold decrease in surface area associated with transformation to α-Al2 O3 occurred ∼ 100°C lower in seeded gels compared with unseeded materials. As a result of high nucleation frequency and reduced microstructure coarsening, fully transformed seeded alumina retained specific surface areas >22 m2 /g and exhibited narrow pore size distributions, permitting development of fully dense, submicrometer α-Al2 O3 at ∼ 1200°C. 相似文献

An electroconductive TiN/Al2 O3 nanocomposite was prepared by a selective matrix grain growth method, using a powder mixture of submicrosized α-Al2 O3 , nanosized γ-Al2 O3 , and TiN nanoparticles synthesized through an in situ nitridation process. During sintering, a self-concentration of TiN nanoparticles at the matrix grain boundary occurred, as a result of the selective growth of large α-Al2 O3 matrix grains. Under suitable sintering conditions, a typical interlayer nanostructure with a continuous nanosized TiN interlayer was formed along the Al2 O3 matrix grain boundary, and the electroconducting behavior of the material was significantly improved. Twelve volume percent TiN/Al2 O3 nanocomposite with such an interlayer nanostructure showed an unprecedentedly low resistivity of 8 × 10−3 Ω·cm, which was more than two orders lower than the TiN/Al2 O3 nanocomposite without such an interlayer nanostructure. 相似文献

A technique for growing α-Al2 O3 crystals is described in which Na2 O·11Al2 O3 is dissolved in a liquid of composition Na2 O·4TiO2 ·3Al2 O3 . Alpha Al2 O3 is precipitated as Na2 O evaporates from the system; Na2 O·11Al2 O3 serves as a source of Al2 O3 , and Na2 O in the liquid. The content of solids in the mixture is always such that it does not melt completely. The size of the α-Al2 O3 crystals grown is related to the Na2 O content of the composition. Crystals as large as 4000 by 3000 μm in the α-axis direction and 500 μm in the c -axis direction have been grown. 相似文献

Solid solutions of AlVO4 crystallize at lower temperatures than amorphous materials between 50 and 70 mol% Al2 O3 prepared by the simultaneous hydrolysis of aluminum and vanadyl alkoxides. They decompose into α-Al2 O3 , and V2 O5 , at 775° to 800°C. The compound AlVO4 prepared from 50 mol% Al2 O3 has a triclinic unit cell with a = 0.6471 nm, b = 0.7742 nm, c = 0.9084 nm, α= 96.848°, β= 105.825°, and γ= 101.399°. The volume of the unit cell increases continuously with increases in Al2 O3 content. The structure contains tetrahedral AlO4 , octahedral AlO6 , and tetrahedral VO4 groups. 相似文献

The composite sol—gel (CSG) technology has been utilized to process SiC—Al2 O3 ceramic/ceramic particulate reinforced composites with a high content of SiC (up to 50 vol%). Alumina sol, resulting from hydrolysis of aluminum isopropoxide, has been utilized as a dispersant and sintering additive. Microstructures of the composites (investigated using TEM) show the sol-originating phase present at grain boundaries, in particular at triple junctions, irrespective of the type of grain (i.e., SiC or Al2 O3 ). It is hypothesized that the alumina film originating from the alumina sol reacts with SiO2 film on the surface of SiC grains to form mullite or alumina-rich mullite-glass mixed phase. Effectively, SiC particles interconnect through this phase, facilitating formation of a dense body even at very high SiC content. Comparative sinterability studies were performed on similar SiC—Al2 O3 compositions free of alumina sol. It appears that in these systems the large fraction of directly contacting SiC—SiC grains prevents full densification of the composite. The microhardness of SiC—Al2 O3 sol—gel composites has been measured as a function of the content of SiC and sintering temperature. The highest microhardness of 22.9 GPa has been obtained for the composition 50 vol% SiC—50 vol% Al2 O3 , sintered at 1850°C. 相似文献

The growth of α-Al2 O3 from a planar specimen of thermally grown γ-alumina on a molybdenum transmission electron microscope grid was studied. The α-Al2 O3 grows into the transition alumina matrix and then thickens via a ledge growth mechanism. Faceted Mo crystallites cause pinning of α-Al2 O3 ledges and are larger on α-Al2 O3 than on the transition alumina matrix. 相似文献

Nanocrystalline α-Al2 O3 ceramic powders have been prepared from an aqueous solution of aluminum nitrate and sucrose. Soluble Al ion-sucrose solution forms the precursor material once it is completely dehydrated. Heat treatment of the dehydrated precursors at low temperature (600°C) results in the formation of porous single-phase α-Al2 O3 . The precursor and heat-treated powders have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and BET surface area analysis. The phase-pure nanocrystalline α-Al2 O3 particles had an average specific surface area of >190 m2 /g, with an average pore size between 18 and 25 nm. 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
