Sintering-additive and microstructure interaction was investigated in many ceramic systems; it is often found that additives remain at two-grain junctions to form intergranular glassy film (IGF). Si3N4 ceramics are served as a model system since IGFs are ubiquitously present and having equilibrium width independent to crystallographic orientations, which have important consequences on sintering behaviors as well as on thermal/mechanical properties. Recently, such IGFs were correlated to abnormal grain growth in Al2O3 ceramics via transitions between “complexions”, or a scheme of stable grain-boundary structures which rationalize IGFs as interfacial “phases” in a thermodynamic sense.
However, the chemical analyses of IGF reveal rather different scenarios: IGF is sensitive not only to grain surface structures but also to the structure/chemistry of neighboring multi-grain junctures. Hence it is too early to view the IGF as (meta-)stable or thermodynamically equilibrated. By using advanced analytical electron microscopy methodology, especially the spatially-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) methods, local chemistry of such ~1nm thick IGF in ceramic systems could be characterized quantitatively to gain information on its interaction with grain, intergranular phases as well as neighboring grain-boundaries. This uncommon approach provides an alternative way to probe into the intrinsic nature of compound phase relations as well as grain-glass interfaces.
In a low-CaO-doped high-purity Si3N4 system, basal and non-basal facets exhibit a bi-modal distribution for IGF width and dopant segregation independent to the doping level, leaving the extra CaO re-partitioned in the glassy pockets [1], which set up the stage for abnormal grain growth from the connected basal facets [2]. In liquid-phase sintered SiC ceramics and in rare-earth-doped Sialon ceramics, the emergence of IGF or its composition were found subject to the adjacent pocket phases either in crystalline or glassy forms [3,4]. In low-TiO2-doped Al2O3 ceramics with minor SiO2 impurity, not only the preferential accumulation of SiO2 and TiO2 respectively to basal and non-basal IGFs was repeatedly observed [5,6], there was also several levels of SiO2 enrichment at basal facets that exposed its “transient” role in initiating the anisotropic grain growth on non-basal facets [6,7], which is dictated by a ternary melts to and from neighboring pockets [7,8].
In retrospect, we provide an alternative picture for transient IGF to initiate microstructure development in connection with the phase evolution from adjacent pockets, hence render the role of IGF as the kinetically-limited remnents of additives/impurities. This view is additionally supported by the observation of similar, hence seemingly equilibrium IGF, in the regions of normal grain growth in Al2O3, which denies a direct link between the IGF transition with abnormal grain growth.
