Re¯ected polarized light was used to obtain a clear contrast of the whiskers (white) on the uniform gray background of the alumina matrix. In order to estimate the EGS for the di€erent samples, a metallographic study has been performed on both types of sections for each sample. It was assumed that ``regular-shaped'' ellipsoidal objects ®t into the whisker network. The diameters of these ``grains'' will be called d6, if it corresponds to the face parallel to the HP axis, and d_, if it corresponds to the face perpendicular to the HP axis. The objects were subsequently digitized and measured using an image analyzer. The average values of d6and d_ are listed in Table 2. The equivalent three-dimensional diameters of the ellipsoidal objects are calculated by means of the geometric average: 4 3 p  d? 2 2 dk 2  ˆ 4 3 p  deff 2 3 ˆ)deff ˆ  d2 ?dk 3 q …2† The values are listed in Table 2. A comparison between the values in Table 2, and the reported NGS in Table 1, shows some corre￾lations, except for the ORNL10 sample, for which the EGS is as much as three times larger than the NGS.

An analytical expression for de€=de€(f,...) can be derived by a simple two￾dimensional model that correlates d6 with the volume fraction of whiskers, f, and the whisker radius, r.
