Abstract

An intergranular second phase, present as a film in a large‐grained MgAl2O4 densified with LiF, was observed, on sequential heat treatment at 1500° C, to progressively reduce its area by first forming slender fingers which then break up into spheroid‐shaped islands. This “beading” process is an example of a Rayleigh instability driven by capillarity processes. Electron microscopy revealed that the islands consist of two phases (presumably LiF and MgAl2O4), characteristic of a solidified melt. The observed morphologies are more than likely characteristic of many intergranular phases which form nonzero contact angles with the major phase. An analysis is presented showing that perturbations on the edge of a receding plate can grow by surface diffusion.
