Effect of Nano-Nd2O3 on Sintering and Crystallization of Fused Quartz Ceramic Materials
Abstract:
Fused quartz powder (d50=19μm) was used as raw material, and nano-Nd2O3 was used as additive with dosages of 1% (in mass, similarly hereinafter), 2% and 3%. The effects of nano-Nd2O3 on crystallization and sintering behavior of the materials at various temperatures (1300 °C/1h, 1350 °C /1h and 1400°C /1h) were studied by measurements of apparent porosity, bending strength and thermal expansion ratios (RT~1200°C), and analyses of XRD and SEM. The results of XRD and thermal expansion ratios analysis showed that 3% nano-Nd2O3 additive had excellent effect on inhibiting crystallization of the samples sintered at 1350 °C and 1400°C. The results showed that the samples sintered at various temperatures with 3% nano-Nd2O3 had the lowest apparent porosity and more compact microstructure. This indicated that 3% nano-Nd2O3 had better effect on facilitating sintering of fused quartz materials.
