Microstructural Stability and Creep Behavior of Directionally Solidified MgAl2O4/Y3Al5O12 Eutectic Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present work, compressive creep characteristics of directionally solidified MAS-YAG (MgAl2O4/Y3Al5O12) were investigated at high temperature. The compressive creep strength of a crystal grown at a rate of 5 mm/min and a flow rate of 1.2 mm/min at 1500 °C under a strain rate of 1.0 × 10-4 was only 400 MPa, which is slightly higher than that of crystals grown under different conditions. The compressive creep strength of an oxide eutectic fabricated by the directional solidification method is higher than that of a polycrystalline sintered eutectic with the same composition. The creep behavior at high temperature was studied and the mechanisms of deformation by dislocation motion were revealed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) observations.
