Sintering Mechanism of MgAl2O4-SiC Composites in Reduction Atmosphere

Article Preview

Abstract:

MgAl2O4-SiC Composites were prepared by using magnesium aluminate spinel and silicon carbide powder as starting materials and the sintering mechanism was investigated at 1600°C in reduction atmosphere. Sintered samples were analyzed using XRD, SEM and EDS. The results show that Alumina-rich spinel and SiCN are formed due to the reactions between spinel and SiC. Weight loss of samples was detected due to SiO formation and volatilization. The bulk density of samples decreases and apparent porosity increases as increasing the content of SiC.
