Meanwhile, the effects of alumina fibre contents on the bulk density, water absorption, phase transformation and microstructure of the thin ceramic plate were researched. It was found that the two-step ball-milling process can effectively control the average length-to-diameter ratio of alumina fibres, achieving a good dispersion mixture of fibres and ceramic powders. Ceramics bulk density and bending strength increase with fibre contents rise from 0 to 5 wt.% and then decrease with further fibre content addition from 5 to 15wt.%.

A general thermodynamic-kinetic model was developed for dopant dissolution, which was verified for the experimental conditions used in this work. The model and experiment showed that Mn3O4 dopant with overall concentration of 1 at.% and particle size of 50 nm is dissolved and homogenized in a fine-grained alumina matrix within less than one hour at a temperature of 1220 ?C. For the purposes of the study of the formation of undesired secondary phase, the phase diagram of the Al2O3-Mn3O4 system was calculated using the CALPHAD approach. Detailed STEM observations combined with EDX and EELS chemical analyses showed that the data used for the calculation of the phase diagram need some modifications because they overestimate the solubility of Mn in the alumina and underestimate the solubility of Mn in the MnAl2O4 spinel.","PeriodicalId":20596,"journal":{"name":"Processing and Application of Ceramics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68579486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fragmentation behaviour was interpreted from the point of armour application as larger fragments are required for higher penetration resistance. The equibiaxial flexural strength test method was used to measure the fracture strength values. A similar densification behaviour was obtained for the pure Al2O3 and the Al2O3-Cr2O3 ceramic specimens with 0.5, 10 and 20 vol.% Cr2O3 with the obtained relative densities of around 97%TD.
