Abstract: | Grain size effects were used to evaluate the relative contributions of aluminium lattice and oxygen grain boundary diffusion to the high temperature (1350 to 1550° C) steady state creep of polycrystalline alumina, pure and doped with transition metal impurities (Cr, Fe). Divalent iron in solid solution was found to enhance both aluminium lattice and oxygen grain-boundary diffusion. Large concentrations of divalent iron led to viscous Coble creep which was rate-limited entirely by oxygen grain-boundary diffusion. Nabarro-Herring creep which was rate-limited by aluminium lattice diffusion was observed in pure and chromium-doped material. Chromium additions had no effect on diffusional creep rates but significantly depressed non-viscous creep modes of deformation. Creep deformation maps were constructed at various iron dopant concentrations to illustrate the relative contributions of aluminium grain boundary, aluminium lattice, and oxygen grain-boundary diffusion to the diffusional creep of polycrystalline alumina. |
