Objectives: To study diffusion reactions at planar aluminum-spinel (Al–MgAl 2 O 4 ) interfaces. To investigate the effect of an external electric field on diffusion reactions at such interfaces. Ion Exchange at Metal–Ceramic Interfaces F. Ernst, 1 R. Raj 2 1 Case Western Reserve University, 2 University of Colorado at Boulder DMR Result: Tempering aluminum–spinel interfaces in applied electric fields, we found credible evidence that diffusion reactions of magnesium, aluminum, and oxygen ions can be controlled by the strength and polarity of applied electric fields. Positive ions were more mobile than negative ions in a spinel under the influence of applied electric fields. Differences in mobility and valency of constituent ions suggest a correlation between interdiffusion and electrical fields, which is conceptually consistent with the electrostatic model of mechanical adhesion.
