Popis: Plastic deformation in fine-grained alumina polycrystals (grain size 1 to 15 μm) was studied. At least three distinct deformation mechanisms are important: diffusional creep, basal slip, and unaccommodated grain-boundary sliding. The first and most important of these processes is addressed in this paper. Analysis of the deformation dynamics suggests that both lattice and grain-boundary diffusion are important in the diffusional creep. Aluminum, rather than oxygen, lattice and grain-boundary diffusion are rate-controlling because oxygen diffusion is very slow in the lattice but very rapid in grain boundaries. Significantly, the diffusional creep can become interfacecontrolled at low stresses, causing the often-reported non-Newtonian creep behavior of fine-grained alumina.
