摘要
Al2O3-ZrO2 eutectics containing 9 mol% Y2O3 (with respect to zirconia) were produced by directional solidification using the laser floating zone (LFZ) method. The eutectic microstructures were investigated as a function of the growth variables. Using a solidification-axis thermal gradient of 600 degreesC/mm a homogeneous, colony-free, interpenetrating lamellar microstructure was obtained for growth rates less than 50 mm/h. Higher growth rates produce cellular structures. Colonies grew with the [0001] alumina and the [110] zirconia axis parallel to the growth direction. The uniform lamellar microstructure obtained at low growth rates is stable during thermal treatment at 1500 degreesC. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
