Abstract
An advantage of α-SiAlON is that it can accommodate cations of sintering additives and hence reduces the amount of deleterious remnant intergranular amorphous phase. However, it is believed that relatively large cations cannot enter the structure. In this work, TEM-EDX combination is used to find out whether large cations of Sr 2+ can be incorporated into the α-SiAlON structure. The results showed that Sr 2+ can enter the structure if other smaller cations of Ca 2+ or Yb 3+ are also present.
