Abstract
The binder jetting method possesses the advantages of high efficiency and low cost, and is widely used in the preparation of ceramics. However, this technology uses organic binders, which leads to the low strength of ceramic green bodies after sintering. Currently, impregnation is primarily used to enhance the strength of ceramics. In this study, the properties of Al2O3-based ceramics were enhanced by introducing different minerals (kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite) that decompose and form a mullite phase at high temperatures, resulting in a secondary mullite reaction. The results show that when andalusite was added to the Al2O3 matrix material, the samples exhibited relatively good properties. The samples with different andalusite contents (5, 10, 15 wt%) were sintered at 1500, 1550 and 1600 °C, respectively. The bulk density, apparent porosity and bending strength of the samples were 1.82–2.06 g·cm−3, 47.5–52.01 % and 16.99–34.19 MPa, respectively.
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.
