DOI: 10.1007/s00410-024-02165-6
Abstract: The synthesis of the Al2SiO5 polymorphs kyanite, sillimanite and andalusite in a pure Al2O3–SiO2–H2O (ASH) system has long been known to be impeded. In order to decipher individual aspects of the reaction: corundum + SiO2aq, which repeatedly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actamat.2020.06.056
Abstract: Abstract We demonstrate that the early-stage oxidation of a CoCrFeNi multi-principal element alloy depends upon competition between kinetic and thermodynamic factors involving the relative diffusion rate of cations and oxygen, and how this couples to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ijac.14815
Abstract: Chromium–corundum, as a common refractory material, is broadly applied in high‐temperature kilns due to its superior thermal stability and high melting point. Unfortunately, this refractory is susceptible to corrosion and destruction under extreme furnace conditions… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/feart.2025.1576938
Abstract: Samples containing corundum-anorthite-hercynite are examined to better understand the crystallisation history of this assemblage. These minerals are commonly observed together in the products of high temperature (pyro-)metamorphism of aluminous protoliths. However, it is not clear… read more here.
