Abstract: | Homogeneous α-Al2O3 particles have been synthesized by introducing fluorides in the alumina precursor. The effects of LiF, ZnF2 and AlF3 additives on the phase transformation and the micrograph of the prepared α-Al2O3 particles are investigated. It is shown that, at a heating rate of 5 °C min?1, addition of 2% fluoride relative to the initial mass of the precursor decreases the transformation temperature by 300 °C for LiF and AlF3 and well-dispersed α-Al2O3 powders with average particle size of ~2 μm were obtained. The mechanism of the influence can be explained by the formation of intermediate compound (AlOF), which was considered to accelerate the mass transportation from θ- to α-Al2O3. The addition of ZnF2 can slight reduce the θ- to α-Al2O3 phase transition temperature. However, the effect on the phase transition of α-Al2O3 formation is not obvious. |
