Abstract

Metal-ceramic microstructures were formed in situ by partial reduction of the spinel compound NiAl2O4. At 1300°C the reduction reaction passed through an intermediate stage involving the formation of Ni and metastable “defect spinel” phases, before the appearance of the equilibrium phases, Ni + α-Al2O3. At 1100°C, depending on the reduction time, the products of the reduction reaction were Ni and the metastable “defect spinel” for less than 24 hours; Ni + θ-Αl2Ο3 for 24-48 hours; and Ni + GI-AI2O3 for 144-168 hours. The effects of dopants, such as Cr2O3, MgO, TiO2 and Y2O3, on the reduction mechanism and kinetics were examined and shown, in the case of TiO2, to have a controlling influence. A reduction reaction mechanism is proposed.
