Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology

The Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology publishes original scientific articles on all topics of ceramic science and technology from all ceramic branches. The focus is on the scientific exploration of  the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of sintered ceramic materials as well as on new processing routes for innovative ceramic materials. The papers may have either theoretical or experimental background. A high quality of publications will be guaranteed by a thorough double blind peer review process.

The Journal is published by Göller Verlag GmbH on behalf of the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG). Edited by Yu-Ping Zeng, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Abstract

The hetero-templated grain growth method was applied to the development of texture in materials with the Aurivillius structure. When the template volume fraction was 0.20, the hetero-templated grain growth process developed texture in SrBi4Ti4O15 (SBT) matrix grains based on plate-like Bi4Ti3O12 (BiT) template grains [the specimen is denoted as SBT/BiT(0.20)] but did not develop texture in BiT matrix grains based on plate-like SBT template grains [BiT/SBT(0.20)]. The origin of the lack of texture development in BiT/SBT(0.20) was examined from two points of view, namely, solid-state spreading and chemical reaction. Solid-state spreading is the main mechanism for texture development in some materials with the Aurivillius structure. At first, it was assumed that solid-state spreading was not operative in BiT/SBT(0.20), leading to the lack of texture development, but the occurrence of solid-state spreading was confirmed in both specimens. Therefore, this assumption was ruled out as a possible mechanism. Next, the possibility of a chemical reaction between SBT and BiT was examined and the formation of SrBi8Ti7O27 (S0.5BT) was confirmed. This means that the template grains changed from SBT to S0.5BT in BiT/SBT(0.20). Therefore, texture development in the specimens with BiT matrix grains and plate-like S0.5BT template grains (BiT/S0.5BT) was examined, and it was found that an increase in the template volume fraction resulted in the suppression of texture development. SrTiO3 in the template S0.5BT grains dissolved in BiT matrix grains and suppressed the growth and morphological change of the matrix grains, resulting in the suppression of texture development. It is therefore concluded that the dissolution of a high concentration of SrTiO3 in BiT matrix grains from template grains is the origin of the lack of texture development in BiT/SBT(0.20) and in BiT/S0.5BT with a large amount of template grains.
