Abstract
A mass transport equation which takes into account parallel diffusion paths for both anions and cations was derived and applied to the diffusional creep of polycrystalline ionic solids. From the results of the analysis, several limiting conditions were found for grain‐boundary‐ and lattice‐diffusion‐controlled kinetics. These conditions depend on temperature, grain size, and type and concentration of cation impurities. Examples of these limiting situations are given for the creep of polycrystalline Fe‐doped MgO and transition‐metal‐doped Al2O3.SummaryA mass transport equation which takes into account parallel diffusion paths for anions and cations was derived and applied to the diffusional creep of polycrystalline ionic solids. The effect of grain size and cation impurities of variable valence in solid solution on the relative contributions of lattice and grain‐boundary diffusion of different ionic species in polycrystalline MgO and Al2O3 was examined. Depending on the temperature, grain size, impurity level, and O2 partial pressure, several limiting conditions were found: Limit I: At very small grain sizes and reasonably small cation lattice diffusivities the creep rate will be controlled by the slower‐moving ion in the grain‐boundary regions (i.e. Coble creep). Limit II: For intermediate grain sizes and cation lattice diffusivities the creep rate will be controlled by cation lattice diffusion when anion transport is significantly faster near grain boundaries than in the lattice (i.e. Nabarro‐Herring creep). Limit III: For an appropriate combination of large grain size and high cation lattice diffusivity the creep rate will be controlled by anion boundary diffusion (i.e. Coble creep).Well‐defined examples of limits I and II have been observed in the creep of Fe‐doped polycrystalline MgO, and tentative evidence exists for limit III. Most results of studies of creep in polycrystalline Al2O3 (doped and undoped) fall within limit II, with some overlap with limit III.The model developed in the present work explains much of the data in the literature in which creep rates correspond to cation lattice mobilities. It is concluded that in the creep of polycrystalline ionic solids anion transport near grain boundaries is rapid and can, in some circumstances, be rate‐controlling. It should also be possible to apply this model to sintering and thermal‐grooving data for such systems, particularly for Al2O3, in which cation lattice diffusion is frequently observed to be rate‐controlling.32
