Abstract
This study focuses on producing alumina using a modified citrate method. The process involves thermally activating a chelate through biphasic drops between hydrated aluminum nitrate and citric acid. Thermal analysis via DSC/TGA followed by FTIR revealed absorption bands at varying temperatures until the formation of white crystallized alumina powder at 1000°C. XRD analysis indicated that the resulting sample has a refined hexagonal structure with the space group R-3c. SEM/EDAX analysis displayed a morphology resembling overlapping hives with a major chemical composition of Al and O. The dip-coating method applied a semi-colloidal Al-citric acid sol onto E335 steel substrate at a stable processing temperature of 700°C, confirmed by XRD analysis showing the formation of new crystals like AlFeO3 and Al11Fe7. This structural configuration influenced dislocation density and microstrain inversely with grain size. SEM and EDS analysis confirmed the adhesion of alumina to the substrate through intermetallic phases.
