Modifying the surface of ceramics by coating with a substance different from that of the bulk is currently an important technological issue in structural as well as in functional applications (microelectric, environment, sensors, thermal and chemical barriers, catalysis, etc). About 80% of all advanced ceramics are based on alumina. In the present work the authors introduce reactive coating as a feasible route to design an appropriate surface layer in dense alumina compacts, i.e. CaO[center dot]6Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] (CA[sub 6]) and BaO[center dot]6Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] (BA[sub 6]). Doloma (CaO[center dot]MgO), calcium carbonate (CaCO[sub 3]) and barium carbonate (BaCO[sub 3]) reactive coatings on Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] substrates have been studied; the results have been discussed on the base of the high-temperature reactions predicted by the corresponding phase equilibrium diagrams.
