説明:

(abstract)

The strength-limiting defects in ceramics evolve from large inhomogeneities, such as agglomerates and aggregates, in the starting powder during sintering. The synchrotron X-ray multiscale tomography (micro-CT and nano-CT) was used to observe how defects evolve from transition alumina aggregates contained in a high-purity submicron α-alumina powder during the sintering. Complex pores, consisting of mutually interconnected pore channels, developed from aggregates through transformation, particle rearrangements, and particle coarsening due to surface diffusion. Under the constraint of the matrix, a circumferential crack was formed partly along the interface between the complex pore and the matrix. The fractography revealed that the fracture origins were complex pores on the fracture surface of bending specimens. The fracture mechanical analysis was conducted to show that both the elliptical crack model and the pore-crack model can explain the mechanical strength.
