A method is proposed to study the sequence of phase transitions in powdered materials under a shock-wave action. It is shown that the "aluminum hydroxide-alumina" system has the following sequence of phase transformations under a shock-wave action: bayerite → boehmite → γ-Al 2 O 3 → α-Al 2 O 3 . It is found that there are no transitional high-temperature modifications of alumina. A method is developed for obtaining a submicron alumina powder, which allows obtaining materials with a controlled phase composition, including a thermodynamically stable α-modification of Al 2 O 3 . The specific features of the morphological structure and the phase and structural characteristics of powders after a shock-wave action are considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
