Abstract
Recently, gahnite (ZnAl2O4) is gaining attraction as a potential refractory ceramic because of the similarity of its structure and properties with those of magnesium aluminate (MgAl2O4) spinel refractories. Formation of MgO and hibonite solid solution (CaMgxAl12−xO19−0.5x; 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.18), CAM-I (Ca2Mg2−3xAl28+2xO46 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3), and CAM-II (CaMg2−3xAl16+2xO27, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) phases with platelet and interlocking microstructure in the CaO–Al2O3–MgO ternary system significantly enhances the high temperature mechanical properties of refractory castables. The CaO–Al2O3–ZnO ternary system has been studied, for the first time to our knowledge, in a selected compositional range with reference to the CaO–Al2O3–MgO system from 1650°C to 1700°C. The formation of ZnO and hibonite solid solution (CaZnxAl12−xO19−0.5x; 0 < x < 0.18), CAZ-I (Ca2Zn2−3xAl28+2xO46; 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3), and CAZ-II (CaZn2−3xAl16+2xO27; 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) phases with platelet and interlocking morphology have been found. The crystal structures and lattice parameters of ZnO and hibonite solid solution, CAZ-I, and CAZ-II are comparable, respectively, with MgO and hibonite solid solution, CAM-I, and CAM-II. Furthermore, CAZ-I and CAZ-II phases also form due to reaction between hibonite (CaO·6Al2O3) and ZnAl2O4.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
