Preparation and thermal shock resistance of corundum-mullite composite ceramics from andalusite

Corundum-mullite composite ceramics have high hardness, small plastic deformation and other excellent performances at high temperature. Corundum-mullite composite ceramics were fabricated from andalusite and α-Al₂O₃ by in-situ synthesis technology. Effects of mullite/corundum ratio and sintering temperatures on the water absorption, apparent porosity, bulk density, bending strength, thermal shock resistance, phase composition and microstructure of the sample were investigated. Results indicated that the in-situ synthesized mullite from andalusite combined with corundum satisfactorily, which significantly improved the thermal shock resistance as no crack formed after 30 cycles of thermal shock (1100 °C-room temperature, air cooling). Formula A4 (andalusite: 37.31 wt%, α-Al₂O₃: 62.69 wt%, TiO₂ in addition: 1 wt%, mullite: corundum=6:4 in wt%) achieved the optimum properties when sintering at 1650 °C, which were listed as follows: water absorption of 0.15%, apparent porosity of 0.42%, and bulk density of 3.21 g⋅cm⁻³, bending strength of 117.32 MPa. The phase composition of the sintered samples before and after thermal shock tests were mullite and corundum constantly. The fracture modes of the crystals were transgranular and intergranular fractures, which could endow the samples with high thermal shock resistance.     

Fabrication of SiC reticulated porous ceramics with multi-layered struts for porous media combustion

Silicon carbide reticulated porous ceramics (SiC RPCs) with multi-layered struts were fabricated at 1450 °C by polymer sponge replica technique, followed by vacuum infiltration. The effect of additives (polycarboxylate, ammonium lignosulfonate and sodium carboxymethyl-cellulose) on the rheological behavior of silicon carbide slurry was firstly investigated, and then the slurry was coated on polyurethane open-cell sponge template. Furthermore, alumina slurry was adopted to fill up the hollow struts in vacuum infiltration process after the coated sponge was pre-treated at 850 °C. The results showed that the coating thickness on the struts and the microstructure in SiC RPCs were closely associated with the solid content of alumina slurry during vacuum infiltration. The typical multi-layered strut of SiC RPCs could be achieved after the infiltration of an alumina slurry containing 77 wt% solid content. The compressive strength and thermal shock resistance of the infiltrated specimens were significantly improved in comparison with those of non-infiltrated ones. The improvement was attributed to the in-situ formation of reaction-bonded multilayer struts in SiC RPCs, which were characterized by the exterior coating of aluminosilicate-corundum, middle part of mullite bonded SiC and interior zone of corundum.     

Effect of scandia content on the thermal shock behavior of SYSZ thermal sprayed barrier coatings

Nanostructured 4SYSZ (scandia (3.5 mol%) yttria (0.5 mol%) stabilized zirconia) and 5.5 SYSZ (5 mol% scandia and 0.5 mol% yttria) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were deposited on nickel-based superalloy using NiCrAlY as the bond coat by plasma spraying process. The thermal shock response of both as-sprayed TBCs was investigated at 1000 °C. Experimental results indicated that the nanostructured 5.5SYSZ TBCs have better thermal shock performance in contrast to 4SYSZ TBCs due to their higher tetragonal phase content and higher fracture toughness of this coating
