Abstract

The effect of TiO2/SiO2 addition on the grain growth of alumina was reinvestigated. TiO2 promoted the grain growth, but there was no abnormal grain growth. However, codoping of TiO2 and SiO2 resulted in a duplex microstructure consisting of large platelike grains, ∼800 μm long and ∼100 μm thick, and fine matrix grains. The observed anisotropic abnormal grain growth was explained in terms of liquid formation during heat treatment.
