etween BT and Ni phases. But Zn element is detected in the BT:Ni=1:4 Ni'(m)<br />

component, indicating mass transport of the liquid phase from the LFBT to the<br />

BT:Ni=1:4 Ni'(m) component during sintering process. This migration of liquid phase is<br />

likely due to the BT inclusions in the Ni'(m) component that allow spreading of liquid<br />

phase through the percolating BT network in Ni'(m). Figure 6.12 shows an optical image<br />

of cross-section of the specimen examined by EDS.<br />

The specimen is embedded in epoxy for handling. The dark grey colored filaments are<br />

BT:Ni=1:4 Ni'(m) and the ivory colored filaments are LFBT.<br />
