Effect of SiO2 Micro-Powders on the Properties of Alumina-Based Ceramic Core

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of added quantity of SiO2 micro-powder on ceramic core properties was investigated in this paper. The results show that, the quantity of added SiO2 powder has significant effect on the properties of ceramic core, and the room temperature flexural strength of ceramic core samples, sintered at 1550°C for 4~5 hours' holding time, increases with the increasing quantity of SiO2. The room temperature flexural strength can reach 35MPa, when the amount of SiO2 powder is 15%. The XRD results show that new mullite phase was detected in the composite material, and that is the key factor that helps to increase the strength.
