Abstract: High-temperature foam ceramics were produced from sludge, Zhongxiang porcelain sand, shale and sand, with addition of SiC 0.15%~0.40% as foaming agent, respectively, sintered at 1130°C~1160°C. The phase composition and micro structure of sintered samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and density, compressive strength and thermal conductivity were evaluated. The results showed that the main phase of amorphous phase plagioclase in sintered samples and interior of samples with a large number of uniformly distributed closed pores, rose sintering temperature and increased SiC addition leading to pores size enlarged and density, compressive strength and thermal conductivity diminished.

Abstract: Nano-Sized ZrO₂ Powders Were Synthesized from ZrOCl₂•8H₂O by Polyvinyl Alcohol-Gel Technology, Using Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) as a Monomer and Glutaraldehyde (GA) as a Cross-Linking Reagent. The Stability of the Gel Was Affected by Concentration of PVA and GA, Volume of ZrOCl₂•8H₂O. Moderate Strength of Gel Was Synthesized by Raw Materials of PVA (2%), ZrOCl₂•8H₂O (30~40 g) and GA (10ml). Nano-Sized ZrO₂ Was Obtained Finally, with Uniform Particle Size and Good Dispersibility, and Size Was about 20 nm. Doped ZrO₂ with Stabilized Tetragonal Crystal Was Obtained at Room Temperature. The Effect of Calcine Temperature on Phase Structure of ZrO₂ Powders Has Been Investigated.

Abstract: Prepared silicon carbide(SiC) ceramic foams combined with mullite whiskers which synthesized by in-situ reaction. Studied on the influence of temperature on the synthesis of mullite whisker, and the influence of mullite content on the compressive strength, thermal shock resistance of SiC ceramic foams. The results indicate that the performance of mullite whiskers synthesized at 1400°Cwere best, when mullite content was 25%, SiC ceramic foams could reach the maximum compressive strength for 1.75MP, the most thermal shock resistance for14 times.

Abstract: In hard plastic extruding course, the frictional resistance among particles and between the particles and mould make the extruding pressure 4 to 20 times larger than soft-plastic extruding. This paper study the plasticizer mechanism of water-soluble plasticizer in hard plastic extruding course, and emphasize that in this course the plasticizer liquid film not only have good combination with ceramic particle, but also has high yield strength so that the plasticizer liquid film is difficult to slide and be pulled thin. The compound usage of different plasticizers which can improve the effect of plasticizer enhances the quality of the final molding body.

Abstract: The 1.2µm and 100µm silicon carbide were prepared by the process of reshaping and classification. The effect of particle morphology and particle size distribution of silicon carbide on tap density, green body density and apparent viscosity of slurry were analysized. The result showed that the particle size distribution closed to normal distribution and the particle morphology closed to spherical were the main cause that leads to the lower apparent viscosity and the higher density of the green body.
