Abstract
The mechanical synthesis of nanocrystalline α-Al2O3 seeds from γ-Al2O3 to enhance the phase transformation kinetics of alumina is described. The effect of milling time on crystallite size, transformation temperature, transformation kinetics, and seed density are reported. It is shown that the transformation rate can be increased by several orders of magnitude by milling the material for short time periods.
