The volume fraction of inclusions just necessary to prevent grain growth in a uniform array of grains with a uniform dispersion of inclusions was subsequently specified by Zener as f = 4/3(ri,/G) where f is the volume fraction of inclusions, ri, is their radius, and G is the average grain diameter (quoted by Cyril Smith, Trans. AIME 175 [1947] p. 15). In the present case where the pores are the operating inclusions and must initially lie on grain boundaries, they are much more effective. Therefore under those conditions f = 8(ri/G)2 (J.E. Burke and J. Rosolowski, Treatise on Solid State Chemistry, vol. 4, edited by B. Hannay [Plenum Press, New York, 1976] p. 621.)Google Scholar

11. Pore-free alumina is not transparent because aluminum oxide is birefringent. An entering ray is split into polarized ordinary and extraordinary components vibrating in planes normal to each other and showing different refractive indices. Upon entering each new grain, all rays are again split, so a point source viewed through the ceramic emerges as a circle of confusion, which is greater the smaller the grain size and the thicker the specimen.Google Scholar
