Effect of LiF and CaO Additions on MgAl2O4 Dynamic Behavior

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lithium fluoride as well as calcium oxide were used as sintering additives to magnesium aluminate ceramics in order to provide both transparency and better densification. This work assessed the dynamic behavior of MgAl2O4 by performing split Hopkinson bar dynamic tests. The total amount of additives was 1.5 wt% in which the percentage of LiF and CaO varied from 0 to 100 wt% with an increment of 25 wt%. The obtained results indicated that CaO low concentrations induced low strength values to the ceramics of different compositions. By increasing the amount of CaO, the MgAl2O4 dynamic strengths were higher. The strain rate was reduced as the amount of CaO increased, indicating a higher trend of energy absorption corroborated by KIc measured values. On the other hand, the ceramic strain increased with the increment CaO additions.
