Abstract: | GdAlO3 and Al2O3 powders were mixed and pulverized using ball mills. The prepared powder was sintered by SPS at 1450 °C without holding time. SEM observation of the sintered specimen showed a eutectic-like microstructure. This is called ‘pseudo-eutectic’ in this research. The microstructure formed from a powder pulverized by a tumbling ball mill for one week was much finer than that by a planetary ball mill for 5 and 10 h. The fine homogeneous eutectic-like (pseudo-eutectic) microstructures could be formed at both eutectic and off-eutectic compositions. In case of crystallization from a melt of eutectic components, homogeneous eutectic microstructures can be formed only at restricted compositions very close to the eutectic one. Coarse primary crystals generally exist in the eutectic microstructure at off-eutectic compositions. The pseudo-eutectic microstructures can be formed at any compositions because a mixing ratio of the starting powders can be varied. |
