Figure 4.29. EDS l<strong>in</strong>e analysis <strong>of</strong> the sample (CR30F-Ti).<br />

Titanium diffusion <strong>in</strong> alum<strong>in</strong>a is illustrated <strong>in</strong> Figure 4.30. It is considered that<br />

titanium diff<strong>use</strong>s <strong>in</strong>to alum<strong>in</strong>a among the gra<strong>in</strong> boundaries, more thoroughly. At the<br />

same time, the diffusion <strong>of</strong> Ti +4 happened and also by Kirkendall effect creep<strong>in</strong>g<br />

occurred. By slipp<strong>in</strong>g among gra<strong>in</strong>s, new phases and also micro-pores occurred <strong>in</strong> the<br />

structure <strong>of</strong> alum<strong>in</strong>a.<br />
