Metastability in the MgAl2O4-Al2O3 system

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

    Abstract

    Aluminum oxide must take a spinel form (7-Al2O3) at elevated temperatures in order for extensive solid solution to form between MgAl2O4 and OÎ-Al2O3. The solvus line between MgAl2O4 and Al2O3 has been defined at 79.6 wt% AI2O3 at 1500°C, 83.0 wt% Al2O3 at 1600°C, and 86.5 wt% A12O3 at 1700°C. A metastable region has been defined at temperatures up to 1700°C which could have significant implications for material processing and properties. Additionally, initial processing could have major implications on final chemistry.
