Effect of Mica Content on the Physical, Mechanical and Morphological Properties of Alumina-Cullet-Mica Ceramic

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research is conducted in order to determine the best composition of alumina-cullet ceramic with the addition of mica powder. The alumina-cullet-mica composites (ACMCs) were produced by using powder compaction method. All raw materials used such as alumina, cullet and mica for fabricating the samples were first mixed, compacted and finally the samples have to undergo the sintering process. It is observed from the physical, mechanical and morphological analyses that the properties of ACMCs are highly dependable on the mica content.
