Abstract
A small dopant effect on the high-temperature creep resistance in high-purity, polycrystalline Al2O3 is examined by uniaxial compression creep testing in air at temperatures between 1150-1350 °C under the applied stress of 10-200 MPa. High-temperature creep resistance in polycrystalline Al2O3 is highly improved by zirconium or lanthanoid ions in the level of about 0.05mol%. High resolution electron microscopy (HREM) and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyse revealed that the dopant cation segregate in grain boundaries, and is likely to influence grain boundary diffusion. This paper aims to show a critical parameter to describe the high-temperature creep rate in cation-doped Al2O3.
