Microstructural characterization of nanostructured Al2O3-ZrO2 eutectic layer by laser rapid solidification method
APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE(2019)
摘要
In the present work, nanostructured surface layers of Al2O3-ZrO2 eutectic with a thickness of approximate 1000 mu m and free of cracks and pores were produced on the surface of conventionally-sintered Al2O3-ZrO2 ceramic via the laser irradiation rapid solidification process. The molten pool geometry and microstructure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The geometrical evolution of molten pool in response to laser power and laser scanning velocity was established, where the top view of molten pool exhibits a circular shape at low velocities and gradually evolves into an oval-shaped surface at high velocities. Singular Al2O3-ZrO2 eutectic colonies with a size of 100-200 mu m, which is formed around a spontaneously nucleated dendritic ZrO2 core, are found on the surface of laser-remelted layer. The eutectic colony has an interphase spacing of 190-280 nm. The variation of eutectic spacing with growth rate is essentially linear on the logarithmic scale as lambda = KV-0.4 by binary regression analysis. Predicted by the Jackson-Hunt theory on eutectic solidification (JH theory), the eutectic spacing is consistent with the inverse-square-root dependence on growth rate with a proportionality constant of 3.32. The eutectic colonies consist of alpha-Al2O3, t-ZrO2 and m-ZrO2 phases, where alpha-Al2O3 and t-ZrO2 are the dominant phases and the m-ZrO2 phase increases with the decrease of laser scanning velocity.
