Atmosphere-dependent in-situ ceramic whisker formation and performance enhancement in Al2O3-C refractories
Al2O3-C refractories are critical for flow control in continuous casting, yet the relationship between their structure evolution and high-temperature properties remains insufficiently understood. This study systematically investigates the synergistic effects of additives (Si, Al) and heat-treatment atmospheres (coke-bed vs. N2) on the microstructure and performance of Al2O3-C refractories. The results demonstrated that: 1) Compared to coke-bed treatment, N₂ atmosphere reduces the in-situ formation temperature of SiC and AlN whiskers by 100–200 °C, while facilitating columnar Sialon formation at 1400 °C. 2) N2 treatment achieves optimal pore size distribution at 1200 °C due to accelerated whisker formation, whereas coke-bed requires 1400 °C for comparable refinement. 3) The N2-derived microstructure, featuring optimized porosity and minimized oxygen contamination, significantly improves thermal shock resistance and oxidation resistance. This work advances the understanding of in-situ ceramic phase formation (SiC/AlN/Sialon) and its role in tailoring the service performance of Al2O3-C refractories.
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.
