AbstractThis paper reviews our recent progress in study on the strong resistance of magnesium aluminate spinel to void swelling during irradiation, along with the related characteristic features of its radiation damage. Comparative experimental results on irradiated microstructures and mechanical properties in magnesium aluminate spinel and alpha-alumina are shown in terms of controlling factors of radiation resistance of the former crystal. It is experimentally shown that structural vacancies due to non-stoichiometry provide effective recombination sites for displaced cations to suppress the formation of interstitial loops. Decreased formation of interstitial loops enhances the further recombination of interstitials and vacancies and thereby the formation of voids.

Magnesium Aluminate Spinel

MgO-Al2O3-TiO2 composite refractories were prepared by using magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) and titanium dioxide as main starting materials and being sintered at high temperature. The influences of titanium dioxide additions on the room temperature physical properties, phase composition and microstructure were investigated. The phase composition and microstructure were tested by means of XRD and SEM. The results revealed that with increasing TiO2 content, the densification of the composites first increased sand then decreased and maximized at 4% TiO2 loading. This showed appropriate amount of TiO2 could contribute to the sintering of the composites due to the solid solution of TiO2 in magnesium aluminate spinel.

Aluminous Cement

A new type aluminous cement containing magnesium aluminate (MA) spinel was prepared from mixtures of limestone, magnesian and bauxite at different ratios by sintering process. The phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminous cements containing magnesium aluminate spinel were investigated in this paper. According to the XRD results, the magnesium aluminate spinel (MA),calcium monoaluminate (CA) and calcium bialuminate (CA2) are the primary phases of the obtained aluminous cements with a small quantity of calcium silicoaluminate (C2AS) and remained alumina (Al2O3). The results of SEM indicate that the MA mainly exist in the shape of octahedron with the length of about 2-5 μm, and it is agglomerated with the tabular or flaky-shaped CA among the obtained aluminous cements. In addition, the compressive strength of castables containing obtained aluminous cements increase obviously with the content of CA rising or the curing time increasing.
