Abstract

We investigated, using high resolution electron microscopy and image processing, the early stages of the mechanical alloying process of a mixture of zirconia and yttrium oxide powders. Molar fraction of yttrium oxide was 0.10. We focused our investigation on the grain boundary region and the region of overlapping layers of zirconia and yttria. Fourier filtering revealed, at the atomic level, one possible sequence of alloying, which occurred in the grain boundary and in the overlapping layers.
