The occurrence of grain-boundary sliding during creep in fine grained alumina was examined by inscribing marker lines on the tensile surfaces of specimens, prior to testing in four-point bending mode. There was considerable microstructural evidence for the occurrence of grainboundary sliding and grain rotation during creep deformation. Experimental measurements of the offsets in the marker lines at grain boundaries reveal that the grain-boundary sliding contribution to the total strain during creep deformation is 70 ± 6.2%. The extensive grain boundary sliding observed, together with the other mechanical properties, suggests that polycrystalline alumina exhibits superplastic characteristics. Several possible rate controlling mechanisms are examined critically in light of the present results and it is concluded that creep occurs either by an independent grain-boundary sliding mechanism or by an interface controlled diffusion mechanism.
