On heat treatment in air the solubility of MgO or TiO2, in Al23 is too small to detect by lattice parameter shifts. The solubility of MgTiO3 in Al2O3 in air increased to the measured values, expressed as atomic fractions Mg:A1or Ti:A1of0.82 × lo-2, 1.43 × 10-2, and 1.75 × 10-2 at 1250°, 1650°, and 1850°C, respectively. In 1 atm hydrogen the TiO2 solubility expressed as the atomic fraction Ti:A1 is 0.55 × lo-2, 0.75 × 10W2, 1.15 × 10-2, and 1.50 × 10p2 at 1400°, 1500°, 1600°, and 1700°C, respectively. The increased solubility in H2 was attributed to reduction of the titanium ion. The solubility of MgO in A12O3 in vacuum (0.3μ)expressed as the atomic fraction Mg:A1 was measured as 1.10 × loW4, 3.00 × 10”4, 6.80 × 10–4, and 1.40 × 10-3 at 1530°, 1630°, 1730°, and 183O°C, respectively. These contents did not cause an observable change in lattice parameter, but a slight change was observed when MgO was dissolved in A12O3 in a hydrogen atmosphere.
