Abstract

Abstract The fluorescence from (naturally present) Cr 3+ impurities was used to measure the residual stress in the alumina phase of six melt-grown ceramic eutectic composites associating gadolinum aluminum perovskite (GAP), erbium aluminum garnet (EAG) or yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) with α-alumina and cubic zirconia. Such measurements are reported for the first time in the GAP containing eutectics. In the usual hydrostatic assumption, we conclude to a residual compression in the range of ∼70–400 MPa depending on the sample composition. The validity of the hydrostatic assumption is questioned when a microscope is used for the measurements.
