Metal-ceramic microstructures were formed in situ by partial reduction of the spinel compound NiAl{sub 2}L{sub 4}. At 1,300 C the reduction reaction passed through an intermediate stage involving the formation of Ni and metastable defect spinel phases, before the appearance of the equilibrium phases, Ni + {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}. At 1,100 C, depending on the reduction time, the products of the reduction reaction were Ni and the metastable defect spinel for less than 24 hours; Ni + {theta}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} for 24--48 hours; and Ni + {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} for 144--168 hours. The effects of dopants, such as Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}, MgO, TiO{sub 2} and Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}, on the reduction mechanism and kinetics were examined and shown, in the case of TiO{sub 2}, to have a controlling influence. A reduction reaction mechanism is proposed.
