Phase Transformations

  • Chapter

Abstract

Once a gel is dried, it is often heated at temperatures much higher than for drying, so that transformation to more stable phases can occur. In many cases, this first involves a chemical evolution, each time a gel does not have the same chemical composition as the desired technical ceramic. Simultaneously, the matter composing the solid network undertakes a crystallographic reorganization and the pore texture changes. Such transformations proceed along kinetic routes which do not usually produce the most stable thermodynamic phases, but metastable ones, during the first steps. In a temperature range from 100°C to 1000°C which is termed intermediate temperature range in the present chapter, thermal treatments often produce either a crystalline transition phase or a glassy phase. These metastable phases eventually transform to a stable thermodynamic phase at high temperatures, which in the present book designates temperatures above 1000°C.
