Analyses of Creep Pores in Liquid-Phase-Sintered Alumina by Means of Joint Use of Conventional and High-Resolution Sans
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
Failure of ceramic materials for high-temperature applications is initiated by the formation of creep pores. Thus, the determination of the sizes and number densities of pores induced during creep testing is one key to a understanding of their failure mechanisms and related life-time predictions. For this purpose small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques are one of the most potential tools as demonstrated by an analysis of creep pores in liquid-phase-sintered, hot isostatically pressed alumina. The exploration of creep induced pores requires the analysis of SANS intensity over an extremely extended region of scattering vectors, the scanning of which needs joint use of both conventional SANS and double crystal diffractometry (DCD), an ultra small angle scattering technique.
