Abstract
Spinel-bonded MgO-CaZrO3 refractory bricks made up of sintered dolomite dust (CaO.MgO) generated from dolomite department, monoclinic zirconia (m-ZrO2) and sea water magnesia (MgO) has been synthesized. Two types of alumina rich magnesia alumina spinel (MgAl2O4) has been used in different proportions to study better bond formation between MgO and CaZrO3 grains enhancing the solid-state sintering. Different characterization in terms of structural integrity and refractoriness evaluation were suggested stoichiometric MgAl2O4 spinel (AR 78) has given the better densification of the MgO-CaZrO3 refractory over Al2O3 rich spinel. XRD study indicating phase evolution analysis has revealed that there is no free calcium oxide (CaO) or free zirconia (ZrO2) in phases of the sintered CaZrO3 grains. The developed CaZrO3 grains have large amount of micro fine pores (86 %) which help in improving the spalling resistance of the refractory aggregates. Addition of ultrafine spinel in MgO-CaZrO3 refractories has successfully improved the bond strength between MgO and CaZrO3.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
