Influence of Nano-Yb2O3, Nano-Nd2O3 and Nano-Dy2O3 on Sintering and Crystallization of Fused Quartz Ceramic Materials
Abstract:
Fused quartz powder (d50=19μm) was used as raw material, nano-Yb2O3, nano-Nd2O3 and nano-Dy2O3 were dividedly used as additive with dosages of 3% each. Fused quartz ceramic materials were sintered in reduction atmosphere at 1300°C, 1350°C and 1400°C for 1h. The influence of rare earth nanooxides on sintering and crystallization of the fused quartz ceramic were researched by measurements of apparent porosity, bending strength and thermal expansion ratios, and analyses of XRD and SEM. The results showed that samples added nano-Yb2O3 and nano-Nd2O3 have lower apparent porosity, higher bending strength and lower thermal expansion rate. It can be deduced that additives nano-Yb2O3 and nano-Nd2O3 have obvious effect on facilitating sintering and inhibiting crystallization of fused quartz materials at experimental temperatures.
