The SEM micrographs <strong>of</strong> the alum<strong>in</strong>a sample that conta<strong>in</strong>s Ti plate, are given <strong>in</strong><br />
Figure 4.40. Dur<strong>in</strong>g four hour soak<strong>in</strong>g time, titanium advanced through alum<strong>in</strong>a roughly<br />
130µm at 1350 o C. As <strong>in</strong> the samples, which conta<strong>in</strong>s Ti wire, Al2TiO5 occurred <strong>in</strong> the<br />
diffusion region, and the alum<strong>in</strong>a samples had porosity. In Figure 4.40 (a), Kirkendall<br />
plane and porosity are seen and as a whole they look like craters.<br />
