Abstract

The grain growth kinetics of silica and calcia doped alumina at 1400°C and their grain boundary complexion is characterized. These data are compared to predictions of both diffusion controlled and nucleation limited interface controlled grain growth theory. It is deduced from the indicators that the mechanism for normal and abnormal grain growth in these aluminas is diffusion controlled.
