| Abstract: | A novel phenomenon is found that the grain growth of aluminum-rich magnesium aluminate is suppressed to 5 μm, despite of high-temperature hot-isostatic-press at 1750 °C. For the transparent MgO-nAl2O3 (n = 1.2, 1.5, 2.0), the transmittance and strength tended to be enhanced with increasing Al2O3 content, having the highest values 80 % at 550 nm and 214.3 MPa for n = 2.0. This is due to the different microstructural evolution depending on the composition. When the excessive Al2O3 was small, the inhomogeneous microstructure with bimodal grain size and lots of rod-shaped particles were observed. However, as the Al2O3 amount increased, the microstructure became homogeneous with reducing the grain size and the rod-shaped particles. The microstructural and compositional analysis revealed that the rod-shaped particle were generated due to the trace potassium impurity as well as the different cationic diffusion rate, and the suppression of grain growth was induced by the severe Al segregation at the grain-boundaries. |
