Preparation and Properties of YAG Porous Ceramics via the Casting Method

Abstract:

YAG has many excellent features and therefore has a wide range of applications. Preparation and properties of YAG porous ceramics via the casting method is investigated. Through analysis and discussion, the following conclusions can be obtained. With the increase of the content of foaming agent, in the foaming process of the slurry, bubbles generated by the foaming agent and water are gradually increased, the more pores are left in the body after casting, and when the blowing agent is too much, excessive bubbles are generated, which can lead to a very low strength of the green body and can not be formed and operated later. As the ratio of water to material increases, the porosity of the porous material increases. This is because when the blowing agent is constant, the amount of water required for foaming is constant, and the amount of foam generated is also constant. When the content of foaming agent and the ratio of water to material is both 1, the porosity and compressive strength is better.
