In this paper, the influence of sintering temperature on the output rate of the mullite which was formed from andalusite ore of Mei County Shaanxi at different constant temperature 1350°C, 1450°C, 1550°C and the mechanism which mullite was transformed were studied. The morphology of mullite formed at 1450°C was obtained by SEM, and the phase composition of andalusite ore sintered at different temperature was analyzed by XRD. The results shows that the mullitization effect of andalusite ore of Mei County Shaanxi is excellent, and the yield of mullite mineral can reach the desired results of 100% after andalusite mineral of Mei County Shaanxi is kept warming for 3 hours at the sintering temperature of 1450°C and cooled naturally with box-type resistance furnace. The mullite phase synthesized by andalusite ore of Mei County Shaanxi depends on not only the decomposition of andalusite, but also the secondary mullitization and the dissolution mechanism.

Mullite material was prepared from quartz (SiO2) and industrial alumina (γ-Al2O3). The effects of mineral composition and sintering temperature on the final phase composition and physical properties of mullite were investigated. The results shown that a large number of mullite phase was emerged in samples when the ratio of alumina to silica (A/S) was 2.55. At 1500 oC and 1600 oC, the flexural strength of the samples reached to 87.13 MPa and 89.50 MPa, respectively. Consider the environmental protection and energy saving, the optimal sintering temperature was 1500 °C.

This paper specifically addresses the effect of changing the constant temperature region of the sintering temperature curve in manufacturing nickel powder capillary structure (wick) on the performance of a flat loop heat pipe (FLHP). The sintering temperature curve is composed of three regions: a region of increasing temperature, a region of constant temperature, and a region of decreasing temperature, with the sintering time and temperature in the region of constant temperature having significant effect on the permeability of the wick. In this study, for wick manufacturing the temperatures in this region tested range from 550°C to 650°C and the time from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. The properties and internal parameters of the wick are measured, and the wick is placed into FLHP for performance testing. Experimental results show that at sintering temperature of 550°C and lasting about 45 minutes, maximum heat load is 200W, minimum thermal resistance is 0.32°C/W, permeability is , porosity is 66%, effective porosity is 3.8and heat flux is around 21W/cm2; related literatures have only reported maximum heat load increase of 25%.

In this study, kaolin bonded alumina-alginate composite beads were fabricated via a facile one-step sol-gel process by using sodium alginate. In order to achieve sintering of the beads at lower sintering temperatures a limited amount of CC31 commercial-grade kaolin was used as a sintering additive (Al2O3:CC31 commercial-grade kaolin=14:1). Produced composite beads were heat treated at 1300°, 1400° and 1500°C for 1 hour to achieve partial densification of the beads. TG-DTA analysis of the CC31 commercial-grade kaolin showed that mullite phase formation took place approximately at 1000°C. However, XRD measurements revealed that there is only alumina phase in the sintered ceramic beads. Due to the low amount of CC31 commercial-grade kaolin, mullite formation was not detectable via XRD analysis. No significant grain growth was observed at the sintered samples depending on the increasing sintering temperature. However, when the sintering temperature was increased, densification ratio and mechanical properties of the produced beads were enhanced significantly. Microstructural investigations of the sintered beads shown that with the help of the liquid phase sintering process, a good chemical bonding was achieved between the alumina particles.

Support is a necessary foundation for ceramic membranes to achieve high performance. Finding the optimum balance between high performance and low cost is still a significant challenge in the fabrication of ceramic supports. In this study, low-cost fly ash-based ceramic supports with enhanced performance were prepared by the addition of bauxite. The pore structure, mechanical strength, and shrinkage of fly ash/bauxite supports could be tuned by optimizing the bauxite content and sintering temperature. When the sintering temperature and bauxite content were controlled at 1300 °C and 40 wt%, respectively, the obtained membrane supports exhibited a high pure water permeance of approximately 5.36 m3·m−2·h−1·bar−1 and a high bending strength of approximately 69.6 MPa. At the same time, the optimized ceramic supports presented a typical mullite phase and excellent resistance to acid and alkali. This work provides a potential route for the preparation of ceramic membrane supports with characteristics of low cost and high performance.

Cordierite samples were prepared using quartz sand tailings, industrial alumina and magnesite tailings as raw materials by high-temperature reaction. The influence of mineral composition and sintering temperature on the final phase composition and physical properties of cordierite were studied.

This paper describes the influence of sintering temperature on phase composition and microstructure of paper-derived Ti3AlC2 composites fabricated by spark plasma sintering. The composites were sintered at 100 MPa pressure in the temperature range of 1150-1350 °C. Phase composition and microstructure were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The multiphase structure was observed in the sintered composites consisting of Ti3AlC2, Ti2AlC, TiC and Al2O3 phases. The decomposition of the Ti3AlC2 phase into Ti2AlC and TiC carbide phases was observed with temperature rise. The total content of Ti3AlC2 and Ti2AlC phases was reduced from 84.5 vol.% (1150 °C) to 69.5 vol.% (1350 °C). The density of composites affected by both the content of TiC phase and changes in porosity.

Abstract The line profiles of the overlapping helium lines 447.1 nm and 492.2 nm have been investigated in an improved plasma source of high purity at electron densities of 1 × 1021 m−3 and 3 × 1021 m−3 . The plasma parameters Ne, Te and T0 were determined carefully by independent diagnostics, which enables a critical comparison with existing theories (BCS II and MMM). We observed ion dynamic effects which considerably modify the line shape of the forbidden components. Our experiments extend the existing observations towards higher ion temperatures. Systematic trends observed earlier are critically discussed.
