“…For this hypothesis to be true, the liquefaction temperature of the TRZ complex oxide would need to be lower than the highest temperature encountered during heat treatment (1 723 K). While the melting points of pure Ti oxides, Al2O3, CaO, CeO2, and ZrO2 are much higher than 1 723 K, [31][32][33] it is conceivable that the complex oxide has a much lower liquefaction temperature, such as via eutectic reaction as in the Al2O3-CaO 31) or MnO-TiO2 34) systems, for example. Thus, the orientation relationship between the Zr-rich phase in the TRZ complex oxide and the austenite matrix was further investigated based on analysis of the TEM results.…”
