Abstract: | Various ZrO2/CaO samples were fabricated by cold isostatic pressing and sintered at 1750°C for 4 h. It was observed that the sample with 12% ZrO2 additive possessed the good hydration resistance and had the lowest apparent porosity of about 0.75%; its weight additive stored after 56 days was less than 0.6 wt%, and it contributed to the occurrence of CaZrO3 on the surface of CaO. The CaO crucible with 12 mol% ZrO2 additive did not react with titanium melt during melting TiNi alloy. This provides a support for searching a new refractory with the good hydration resistance for induction melting titanium alloys. |
