Abstract:

In this paper, the compact SiO2-B2O3-Al2O3-MgO-F machinable ceramics were prepared through melt-cast and sintering method. The phase composition and microstructure of the ceramics were analyzed and observed using XRD and SEM, and the relationship between processing and microstructure were discussed. The results showed that, after the heat treatment, the main phase of the ceramics changed from fluorophlogopite (mica like) to fluoramphibole (rod like). When the crystallization temperature at 950°C, the nuclei growth rate of the mica glass-ceramics was higher. Meanwhile, a small quantity of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) was also crystallized out in the process. The best heat treatment process was nucleated at 630°C for 2h and crystallized at 950°C for 2h.
