Experimental results showed that the core-shell ceramics fabricated were intact and crack-free, and the interfaces between the shell and the core were well-defined and coherent without apparent defects. Also, all of the ZTA ceramic shells exhibited similar dense microstructure and mechanical properties. When ZrN content in the core increased from 0 to 88 vol.%, the Vickers hardness of the core was increased and then decreased, and fracture toughness was also increased to 5.42 ± 0.31 MPa·m1/2 and then decreased to 4.32 ± 0.25 MPa·m1/2. The core-shell ceramics fabricated in this study with the high nitride content have demonstrated reliable microstructure and mechanical properties, which can be potential candidates for application as accident-tolerant fuel in nuclear energy systems.","PeriodicalId":13903,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology","volume":"22 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143114600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the presence of silica fume (SF) will greatly increase the cost of UHPC. Wollastonite microfiber (WF), a microfibrous inorganic mineral powder, has been shown to be effective in improving the mechanical properties of cementitious materials and reducing the cost of UHPC. In this study, a series of UHPC-WF were synthesized via replacing a part of SF with WF. The excellent smooth properties of the WF surface played a lubricating role in the UHPC-WF slurry, resulting in the fluidity of 287.5 mm for UHPC-WF. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of WF and steel fiber played a significant role in UHPC-WF. The flexural strength of UHPC-WF in 3 days and 28 days was 16.4 MPa and 21.6 MPa, respectively, and the compressive strength in 3 days and 28 days was 119.4 MPa and 155.3 MPa, respectively. Meanwhile, the shrinkage strain of UHPC-WF was only 0.13 mm/m in 90 days. This work provides consideration for the innovation of UHPC technology in the future and the research of replacement SF to mineral admixtures in UHPC.","PeriodicalId":13903,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology","volume":"22 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four samples with varying ZnO concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt%) were prepared. The main identified phases were magnesia (MgO) and lime (CaO). The microstructure of the dolomite refractory shown irregularly shaped grains dispersed within a matrix phase, with an increase in ZnO nanoparticles, leading to larger and more abundant grains. The incorporation of ZnO nanoparticles resulted in improved density, hydration resistance, and cold compressive strength, attributed to a reduction in porosity. The sample containing 2 wt% ZnO nanoparticles displayed the highest cold compressive strength and thermal expansion coefficient compared to the pure sample. The addition of ZnO enhanced the dolomite's compressive strength by approximately 46%. These findings suggest that ZnO nanoparticles can enhance the properties of dolomite refractory, particularly in terms of hydration resistance.","PeriodicalId":13903,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology","volume":"22 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143116469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, solid waste utilization of coal gangue is required to reduce the environmental damage. In this paper, cordierite ceramics are successfully prepared via a solid-phase sintering using coal gangue, Al2O3, and MgO as raw materials. The effects of sintering temperatures on the microstructures, phase stability, and thermal properties of ceramics are investigated. The results show that the properties of cordierites prepared at 1200°C are close to those of prepared by the traditional method, and the synthesized ceramics have thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) and conductivity of 4.1–10−6 K−1 and 1.72 W·m−1 K−1 at 900°C, respectively. The sample prepared at 1200°C has good wear resistance (η) with a wear resistance coefficient of 0.507, and an excellent thermal shock resistance, which can withstand 15 times of cold and hot shocks at 1100°C without any cracks on the surface. This study systematically elucidates the thermal/mechanical properties of the synthesized cordierite, and the feasibility of using coal gangue as raw materials prepared cordierite ceramics as refractory materials.

The present work aims to introduce desert sand to replace the natural mineral to achieve green manufacturing of silicate cement clinker, as well as further decreasing the synthesis temperature and increasing the production efficiency. The effects of desert sand, industrial quartz and high-purity quartz as raw materials, and Al2O3 and Fe2O3 as additives on phase transformation and microstructure of calcium silicate powder were comparably investigated using X-ray diffractometer, differential scanning calorimeter, and scanning electron microscopy. Results show that the main phases of all samples with different raw materials and additives were 3CaO·SiO2 (C3S) and 2CaO·SiO2 (C2S). In which, the samples prepared using desert sand had the lowest phase transformation temperature for C2S and C3S. When adding Al2O3 and Fe2O3, the phase transformation temperatures of C2S and C3S further decreased, which were 1032.5°C and 1270.9°C, respectively, meanwhile phase content reached the maximum (C2S of 65.6 wt.% and C3S of 61.2 wt.%). In addition, the most uniformly and finely distributed crystalline phases formed at an optimal calcination temperature of 1350°C. This is beneficial for reducing production costs, saving mineral resources, and promoting the sustainable development of the cement industry.","PeriodicalId":13903,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology","volume":"22 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143112989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
