Abstract

The authors show two examples of “bainitelike” transformations in some oxide ceramics. A bainitelike transformation means that a shear (martensitic) mechanism is controlled by, or together with, ionic diffusion in the lattice as well as the case of lower bainite in steel. The first example is a tetragonal-to-monoclinic transformation in ZrO2-Y2O3 ceramics, where the bainitelike transformation must be characterized by (1) the increase in concentration of oxygen vacancies caused by the substitution of Zr4+ ions by Y3+ ions, (2) a fairly high mobility of oxygen ions through their vacancies, and (3) the formation of clusters composed of oxygen vacancies and oxygen ions. The second case is an inverse spinel to corundum structural change observed in γ Fe2O3 to α Fe2O3, in which the bainitelike transformation may be explained by cooperative movements of oxygen and ferric ions, which are sandwiched between oxygen layers.
