Geopolymers have been synthesized using metakaolin produced from kaolinite extracted from several regional soils. Kaolin is converted into metakaolin by calcination from 650 °C up to 800 °C. To obtain higher strength and stiffness, the geopolymer matrix is reinforced with particles and fibers. In addition, synthetic and natural particles and fibers have been used to enhance durability, thermal properties and shrinkage ratio of lighter geopolymer composites. Owing to the unavailability of a standard for processing and testing geopolymer composites, different laboratories use differing procedures, making data comparison very difficult. The promising market of geopolymer composites for the sustainable construction industry would benefit from a uniform standard for laboratory processing and testing. This would contribute to the creation of a large and reliable data bank, and facilitate the manufacture and certification of geopolymeric sustainable construction materials.","PeriodicalId":48807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":"307-321"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70791724","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}

Tubular battery designs require a thin-walled solid electrolyte tube, usually formed from ion-conductive beta′′-alumina ceramic. State-of-the-art manufacturing methods, namely isostatic pressing and electrophoretic deposition, contribute a significant proportion of battery cost, and it is desirable to identify a high-volume low-cost process for the ceramic. Extrusion offers the potential for a rapid low-cost, high-volume production process but requires special development for adaptation to the demands of solid electrolyte production. This paper summarizes recent trials on extrusion as a process for producing beta′′-alumina ceramic electrolyte tubes.","PeriodicalId":48807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":"25-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70791749","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}

The fracture surface of uniaxially die-pressed green bodies made from granules with density values of ≥ 50%of theoretical showed a uniform microstructure. Sintering experiments were performed using conventional single- and two-stage radiant heating methods followed by density and grain size measurement and characterisation of the final dense compacts to study the efficiency of two-stage sintering in grain growth elimination.

White fused alumina samples were also exposed to the same thermal shocks at 950 °C. Evaluation of the thermal shock damage to the high-alumina refractory castables was based on the dynamic Young‘s modulus and damping characterization data obtained by means of the impulse excitation technique (IET), in accordance with ASTM E1876 – 07. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also performed to enable understanding of the elastic changes in these refractory formulations.

A wedge splitting test for small specimen geometries (max. 40 × 40 × 20 mm 3 ) was successfully implemented with different loading configurations to determine “work of fracture” and thermal shock parameters. Additionally, heating-up thermal shock tests were performed with an electron beam facility. The addition of 2.5 wt% ZrO 2 and TiO 2 to Al 2 O 3 refractories appears to improve their thermal shock resistance due to microstructural changes that reduce brittleness and inhibit critical crack growth. However, a phase transition of ZrO 2 affects the properties at elevated temperature. For another pure alumina refractory, no geometry-independent value for the work of fracture could be obtained for the sample geometry used, which is probably related to the formation of a large interaction zone of the fracture surfaces. Al 2 O 3 -C materials with addition of semi-conductive Si and nanoparticles revealed a strong effect of the pressing direction on the work of fracture. However, the thermal shock parameter R’’’’ was hardly affected by the different additives.
