Abstract: | Homogeneous-eutectic microstructure of Y3Al5O12–Al2O3 system without coarse primary crystals was formed at an off-eutectic composition. This method utilizes a low migration rate in an amorphous phase. A mixture of Y2O3 and Al2O3 having the off-eutectic composition was melted and quenched rapidly to form an amorphous phase. A heat-treatment of the amorphous phase at 1000 °C and 1300 °C for 30 min formed Y3Al5O12 and Al2O3 phases. SEM observation of this material, which was formed from the amorphous phase at 1300 °C for 30 min, showed homogeneous eutectic-like microstructure. The formation of the primary crystals (coarse Al2O3), which are always observed in the off-eutectic compositions by ordinary method, was completely suppressed. |
