Influence of Mechanical Activation on the Formation of Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) at Lower Temperature

Abstract:

Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) is an important material which require high temperature of 1600°C in its solid-state reaction. To lower this temperature, mechanical activation process has applied to the system which make the crystal arrangement broken thus make it more reactive. This process results in homogeneous and fine particle distribution of Al₂O₃ and Y₂O₃ compared to manually mixed powders. Moreover, milling process also reduce the particle size of the Al₂O₃ and Y₂O₃ from 4694 nm and 349 nm down to 274 nm. This also lessen the crystallite size of Al₂O₃ and Y₂O₃ from 1010 and 164 Å to 310 and 50 Å respectively. Then, after calcination at 1100°C, the milled powders form YAG phase in the opposite of manually mixed powders which form YAM phase. YAG formed have nearly round shape with finer grain compared to manually mixed powders which still has large grain of Al₂O₃ and Y₂O₃. This formation temperature is much lower than the require conventional solid-state reaction.
