Porous Aluminum Titanate Ceramics Prepared Using Graphite as Pore Former

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper described the properties of porous aluminum titanate (AT) ceramics. The AT samples with composition of 41 wt% Al2O3, 50 wt% TiO2, 4.5 wt% MgO and 4.5 wt% Fe2O3 while 0~60 wt% graphite was used as pore former. The pore structures of the samples sintered at 1250~1350 oC were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and Hg porosimetry, while the crystal phases of the aluminum titanate were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. After sintered at, the samples have open porosities of 25~51%, depending on the graphite amount and the sintering temperature. The porosity increases and the flexural strength decreases with the increasing amount of graphite.
