Red mud foam lightweight insulation material was prepared by using red mud, fly ash, coal gangue and so on as raw materials by the method of foaming and sintering process. Influences of sintering temperature on thermal insulation material properties were studied. The micro-structure of samples was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanism analysis was made. The results show that in this condition, the optimum sintering temperature is 1120°C. The flexural strength of the samples is 0.41MPa, the compressive strength is 1.15MPa and the density is 479kg/m3.

Almost one-third of the revenues of the Additive Manufacturing (AM) machines market is generated by desktop systems. A new category of such devices are Laser Sintering (LS) machines, in which we can find a few representatives of this group. A growing interest in the use of desktop AM solutions in research and industry is visible, and therefore an evaluation of its capabilities and limitations is desirable. The presented paper focuses on comparing desktop (Sintratec S1; Sinterit Lisa) and industrial (Formiga P110) LS systems. The properties of raw materials were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), as well as by determining the Particle Size Distribution (PSD) and static and dynamic flowability of powder. Laser Sintering commercial sets were characterized by their mechanical properties (tensile strength), surface quality (roughness), as well as by their accuracy and porosity (computed tomography). The conducted test showed significant differences, especially in the case of material properties and manufacturing repeatability. The found differences between desktop and industrial LS systems suggest that the use of a low-budget LS system, especially for the research and production of end-use parts, has to take into account its limitations.

CaF2 nano-power was prepared by direct precipitation methods with Ca(NO3)2 and KF as raw materials. The influences of presintering temperature and sintering temperature on the particle size and distribution of CaF2 nano-power were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). This study provided an experimental method for preparation of CaF2 nano-power. The results show that the best presintering temperature of CaF2 nano-power is 500°C and the best sintering temperature of CaF2 ceramic is 900°C.

In laboratory condition, industrial zirconia and alumina were used as raw materials, whose particle size was controlled by ultrafine treatment of mechanical milling. The effects of different firing temperatures and soaking times on mechanical properties of Al2O3-based composite ceramics liner were researched. And the microstructure of samples was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that mechanical properties of samples kept 3 h at sintering temperature of 1600°C with adding 30 wt% zirconia are the best.

In atmospheric environments, Al2O3 ceramics have good oxidation resistance in water, acid, and other solutions and suitable corrosion medium resistance. Al2O3 ceramics is one of the most widely used engineering ceramics. In this paper, Al2O3/Al cermet matrix composites were prepared by mixing a series of powders with aluminum and alumina powders as raw materials. The interface of Al2O3/Al cermet was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The densification process of Al2O3/Al cermet was then explored from the aspects of formulation, molding pressure, holding time, and sintering process. After mixing and dry pressing, 50 wt% Al and 50 wt% Al2O3 were appropriate for sintering. Following sintering and measuring density, density was improved under 20 MPa with a 20-minute holding time. Through a comparison of the sintering process, the interface structure was observed via scanning electron microscopy, which found that secondary sintering is conducive to improving the density of Al2O3/Al cermet.

The red mud lightweight insulation brick was prepared by the sintering process as red mud, fly ash, bentonite as the main raw material, adding a certain amount of pore forming agent and fluxing agent. The sintering heat preservation time of red mud insulation brick on the properties was studied. The red mud lightweight insulation brick damage fracture microstructure was analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the sintering mechanism was discussed preliminarily. The results show that with sintering temperature of 1100°C heating for 180 minutes, the performance of thermal insulation brick is better. When the heat preservation time extends to continue, the performances of sample remain stable basically.

It is very difficult to synthesize pure CAS2 because of high melting temperature (1553 oC) In this paper, the formation of CAS2 during sintering period from the raw materials of kaolin, wollastonite, feldspar, sand and alumina at 1250 oC with holding time of 10 and 30 minutes is studied. The change during heating process was studied by the differential thermal analysis (DSC - TG). CAS2 minerals was analyzed by means of Rőntghen diffraction analysis (XRD) and phase idenfitication was performed by X'Pert High Score Plus software. The micro structure of the products has been studied through microscope images of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the water absorption of the products was less than 0.006 %, flexural strength reached 71-122 MPa, the Vicker’s hardness was in range from 2369 to 2666 MPa, the density was in range 2.36 – 2.59 g/cm3, the whiteness was in the range L* = 91.27 to 91.89 (according to CIELAB whiteness scale).
