Abstract:Two alumina based ceramics with 99.99 % and 95 % of Al2O3 were evaluated after dissolution in an aqueous solution containing 0.5 mol/l NaCl at temperatures of 150 and 200 °C. The weight loss of liquid phase sintered alumina was mainly attributed to congruent dissolution of SiO2 and CaO from grain-boundary amorphous film, which is accelerated at higher temperature, accompanied by precipitation of silicaceous phases from oversaturated solution at 200 °C. Pure polycrystalline alumina corroded by loss of alumina g… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup 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 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.
