Abstract

The microstructural and chemical characteristics of the segregated particles, Ni-(Mg)-Al spinel phases, and K-ß’’’ alumina precipitates in fine-grained alumina co-doped with 0.15 wt % of MgO and 0.10 wt % of NiO were studied using analytical transmission electron microscopy. The segregated Ni particles and second phases were generally found at triple junctions or on grain boundaries. The K-ß’’’ alumina precipitates were found to contain occasionally a high density of stacking faults. These microstructural observations point out the location of the dopants and impurities during the sintering process.
