F. Bondioli et al., Reaction mechanism in alumina/chromia (Al2O3-Cr2O3) solid solutions obtained by coprecipitation, J AM CERAM, 83(8), 2000, pp. 2036-2040
The aim of this work is to study the structural characteristics and propert
ies of the solid solution (Al,Cr)(2)O-3. XRD analysis, Al-27 MAS-NMR measur
ements, and microstructural characterization were used to determine the rel
ationship between color and crystallochemical properties of the compounds f
ormed, In particular, to determine more accurately the mechanism of solid s
olution formation above the miscibility gap of the system, the marker techn
ique was used. In order to define the behavior of the system for temperatur
es below the miscibility gap at 1 bar pressure, the composition Al2O3:Cr2O3
1:1 was studied with high-temperature XRD.
