Effect of Bimodal Granularity Distribution on the Properties of Silica-Based Ceramic Cores

Abstract:

In this work, the effects of the bimodal particle size distribution of fused silica on the properties of silica-based ceramic cores have been investigated. In order to simulate a casting process condition, the core specimens were sintered at 1220°C, tested at above 1500°C. Three point bending tests were carried out on all the prepared specimens. Phase evolution and microstructure were investigated by XRD and SEM respectively. The results showed that with the bimodal granularity distribution broaden and the content of coarse particles increasing, the contraction, flexural strength and creep deformation of ceramic cores decreased linearly, as the content of mineralizer was determined. Coarse particles served as the skeleton to relieve the contraction in ceramic matrix and avoided sharp decrease of flexural strength. The high temperature properties were largely determined by the combined effects of crystallization and skeleton network. The crystallization depended mostly on the fine particles, and the skeleton network was prerequisite to avoid creep deformation.
