Production of Li2O-ZrO2-SiO2-Al2O3 (LZSA) Glass-Ceramic Foams by Aeration and Polymerization of Suspension
Abstract:
Porous glass-ceramics belonging to the Li2O-ZrO2-SiO2-Al2O3 (LZSA) system were prepared by gelcasting. This processing technique associated to aeration of ceramic suspensions containing a foaming agent, allows the production of ceramics with high opened porosity (>90%), cell geometry tending to the spherical form, cellular interconnectivity and high green strength. In this work glass-ceramics foams were prepared by addition of different concentrations of foaming agents (Alkolan) and sintered at 750, 850 and 950oC for 30 min. The LZSA glass-ceramic foams were characterized by density, porosity, thermal shrinkage, microstructural analysis and mechanical strength. The morphological, physical and mechanical properties of the consolidated glass-ceramic foams indicated that the process of gelcasting may be a valid alternative to produce porous materials for applications at temperatures lower than 950°C.
