Abstract: | The kinetics of formation of an iron-zircon pink color were studied by X-ray diffraction. The iron reacts with the zirconia at a temperature below the reaction temperature. The initial reaction is nucleation-growth-controlled. At higher percent conversion a change in mechanism occurs, probably becoming diffusion-controlled. At any given reaction temperature, there is an apparent limiting percent conversion. |
