Abstract
MgTa2O6 and Mg4Ta2O9 were synthesized separately based on the effects of temperature, preforming pressure, and morphology of raw material tantalum pentoxide on the phase composition and microstructure of magnesium tantalate. The comprehensive performance and manufacturing cost of MgTa2O6 and Mg4Ta2O9 ceramics were evaluated. The experimental results indicated that the optimum synthesis conditions of MgTa2O6 and Mg4Ta2O9 included type-I tantalum pentoxide as raw material, 100 MPa of preforming pressure, and 1260 °C for 10 h of temperature profile. Compared with MgTa2O6, Mg4Ta2O9 ceramic exhibited superior mechanical and thermal performance with a thermal conductivity of 1.94–3.02 W·m−1·K−1 across 100–1000 °C, coupled with a thermal expansion coefficient of 11.1 × 10−6 K−1 at 1000 °C and Vickers hardness of 7.11 GPa. Mg4Ta2O9 ceramic has the advantage of comprehensive performance and manufacturing cost relative to conventional rare earth tantalate and yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), which is a promising alternative for next-generation thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
