Directional solidification and growth characteristics of Al2O3/Er3Al5O12/ZrO2 ternary eutectic ceramic by laser floating zone melting
Source abstract
Abstract
Directionally solidified Al2O3/Er3Al5O12/ZrO2 ternary eutectic ceramic in situ composite rods with length of 110 mm have been fabricated by laser floating zone melting. The microstructural characteristics of steady growth zone, initial growth zone and solid/liquid interface are investigated under high temperature gradient. In the steady growth zone, the eutectic spacing (λ) is rapidly decreased as increasing the growth rate (V), and the corresponding relationship between growth rate and eutectic spacing is determined to be λ = 11.14 × V −1/2. The temperature gradient has been measured to be about 5.3 × 103 K/cm. In the initial growth zone, the melting process and temperature distribution are recorded by infrared thermal imager, and several unstable complex microstructures are observed. In the quenched zone, the regular eutectics with minimum eutectic spacing of 200 nm are obtained. Moreover, the solid/liquid interface during solidification shows convex interface morphology and the interface height is gradually decreased as increasing the growth rate. The eutectic growth behaviors at the center and edge of the as-grown rod are compared and discussed.
