Effect of Tb4O7 Doping on Wear Resistance of High-Alumina Ceramic

Article Preview

Abstract:

It was investigated that the effect of wear resistance of high-alumina ceramic with a series of Tb4O7 additives. It showed that wear resistance of ceramic firstly increased and then decreased with increasing of Tb4O7 doped. And we found that microscopic played the vital role to affect wear resistance of alumina ceramic, decreasing grain sizes would improve the wear resistant. Terbium ions dissolved in liquid phases and the second phase of Tb3Al5O12 appeared would improve microscopic of ceramic, taken grain sizes small and made ceramic density. Doped 0.2wt% Tb4O7, alumina ceramic with small grain sizes had better wear resistance than other ceramic.
