Abstract

TEM observation of the morphology of alumina dendrites in a rapidly solidified Al203-25w/oZrO22 oxide alloy revealed three distinct dendrite morphologies corresponding to α-, γ- and δ- aluminas. STEM analysis showed the center of the α and γ dendrites to be solute poor, but the δ dendrite center to be solute rich, indicating possible solute trapping. Theoretical calculations show interface growth velocities in excess of 3m/sec.
