Abstract
The role of porosity in governing the interaction between molten sand and oxide substrates remains poorly understood. Here, we systematically investigate the effect of porosity on CMAS wettability, infiltration, and reactivity across 3 mol.% yttria stabilized zirconia (3YSZ), Gd2O3, and (Y1/2Yb1/2)2Si2O7 (YYbDS) by coupling high temperature contact angle experiments conducted at 1260 °C for 30 min with microscopy, elemental, and phase analyses. In 3YSZ, increased porosity promoted deeper infiltration but suppressed lateral spreading. Gd2O3 showed the opposite trend in that greater porosity enhanced CMAS spreading that was attributed to its reactivity. For YYbDS, despite being chemically reactive, showed reduced spreading with increased porosity. Linear regression revealed strong correlations between porosity and a few wetting parameters depending on the reactivity regime. These findings reveal that porosity dependence on CMAS interactions with a substrate are coupled with reactivity and provide an approach to forecast CMAS behavior with novel materials.
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.
