Abstract

Plasma sprayed pure alumina samples have been studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy and X–Ray diffraction. The main families of metastable forms (γ δ and θ) have been observed in as-sprayed or in annealed states. All derive from a spinel structure through a periodic antiphase boundaries mechanism, together with an ordering of vacant sites in the cationic sublattice.
