Abstract
The faceting of alumina interfaces in the presence of a glass affects both grain growth and grain‐boundary mobility during liquid‐phase sintering. The geometry and movement of facets that form during this sintering process are expected to play an essential role in the development of the final microstructure, in particular, by their influence on the topology of the grain boundaries which ultimately control the properties of Al2O3 compacts. A new method for studying the interaction between Al2O3 and a glass has been developed. A thin sample of Al2O3 suitable for examination in a transmission electron microscope is prepared and examined and then reacted with SiO2 and CaO via the vapor phase. This experimental approach allows the faceting behavior of glass/Al2O3 interfaces to be studied systematically without introducing unnecessary complications during subsequent sample preparation. Faceting occurs almost exclusively on the (0001) and {1102} planes. The interaction between glass and certain structured grain boundaries in alumina has been studied using polycrystalline thin films.
