Prepartion of Stabilized Aluminum Titanate Film via Nonhydrolytic Sol-Gel Route

Abstract:

The stabilized aluminum titanate (Al2TiO5) film was coated on the silicon carbide (SiC) substrate via nonhydrolytic sol-gel method (NHSG), using anhydrous aluminum chloride and titanium tetrachloride as precursors, ethanol as oxygen donor, different iron sources as stabilizers, and dimethyl mixed dibasic acid (DBE) with the characteristic of environmental protection and high boiling point as solvent. The phase transformation of modified Al2TiO5 xerogel during heat treatment, the effect of different iron stabilizers on the stabilization of Al2TiO5 film, and the influence of the coating process parameters on film-forming quality were investigated by means of DTA/TG, XRD and SEM. The results indicate that ethanol iron as the stabilizer, Al2TiO5 crystal phase can be formed at 750°C. While the temperature is raised further to 1000°C, Al2TiO5 is stable without decomposition, and has better synthesis effect. Selecting iron chloride, iron sulfate and iron ethanol as stabilizers respectively, only iron ethanol is effective to thermal stability of Al2TiO5 film. The best optimal vertical sliding velocity is 3.75 mm/s.
