Effect of sintering temperatures on reaction-bonded Si3N4/SiC composite ceramics under pressureless was investigated. Si3N4/SiC composite ceramics were sintered at different temperatures from 1450 to 1700 °C under nitrogen atmosphere by using SiC with different particle sizes, Si and additives Y2O3 as raw materials. The phases, microstructure and mechanical property were characterized by XRD, SEM, and compressive strength tests. The results demonstrated that when the particle gradation consists of silicon carbide of 74 μm (5 wt.%), 44 μm (10 wt.%) and 0.5 μm(35 wt.%) and silicon powder of 74 μm (42 wt.%), the more dense samples with the bulk density of 2.43 g/cm3 and the higher compressive strength of 324 MPa could be obtained at the sintering temperature of 1550 °C for 3h as the optimum processing parameters.

To solve the difficult problems of failure of pretensioned bolt supports under high ground pressure and temperature, a new kind of anchorage agent with excellent performance is developed. First, the selection and compounding of raw materials were conducted. The new anchorage agent was obtained by modifying the PET resin by mixing with a phenolic epoxy vinyl ester resin (FX-470 resin) and adding a KH-570 silane coupling agent. Then, the viscosity, thermal stability, compressive strength under different temperatures, and anchorage capacity of the new anchorage agent were tested. Moreover, the best proportion ratio of anchorage agent by mixing resin : coarse stone powder : fine stone powder : accelerator : curing agent : KH-570 = 100 : 275 : 275 : 1 : 32.5 : 1 is obtained. The test results showed that, with the addition of a KH-570 silane coupling agent, the viscosity decreased significantly, thereby solving the difficult technical problems of pretensioned bolt supports in full-length anchorage support. Compared with the conventional anchorage agent, the compressive strength of the new anchorage agent increased by 20.4, 82.5, 118.2, and 237.5% at 10, 50, 80, and 110°C, respectively, and the anchorage capacity increased by 4.7, 8.7, 40.2, and 62.9% at 30, 50, 80, and 110°C, respectively. Finally, the enhancement in compressive strength and heat-resistant mechanism are revealed through microanalysis.

Nano-Fe particles coating Al2O3 composite powders were prepared by heterogeneous precipitation method with nanometer -Al2O3 and Fe(NO3)3•9H2O as raw materials. The composite powders were analyzed by DSC-TG, XRD,SEM and Zeta potential. Results showed that Fe coating Al2O3 nanometer composite powders were obtained in the condition of being sintered at 500°C for 30min and reduced at 700°C for 1h in H2. The coating Fe nanometer particles are in the shape of sphericity with diameter about 30nm and the dispersion of the powders is uniform. Al2O3/Fe composite ceramics were obtained by hot-pressing (30MPa). The mechanical properties of the composite were investigated after hot press at different temperatures. With the increasing of Fe content in composite ceramics, the hardness of the composite is decreased. Fracture toughness of 10mol%Fe content is 5.62MPa after sintered at 1400°C, which is increasing 57% high than that of monolithic Al2O3 ceramics.

The present study investigates the thermal behaviour of phosphate sludge-based geopolymers. Phosphate sludge which is a by-product from phosphate beneficiation processes was activated using the alkaline fusion method to improve the geopolymer activity of this material. Then, the mechanical properties as well as the thermal behaviour of the resulted geopolymer mortar were studied. The effect of sodium hydroxide addition and fusion temperature on the mechanical properties and the thermal behaviour of the geopolymers were assessed using compressive strength tests before and after thermal shock cycles at different temperatures (350, 500, 650 °C). The mineralogical composition of the fused materials was investigated using XRD measurement and the microstructure of the geopolymer mortars was studied using FTIR. The obtained results showed that NaOH content as well as the temperature of fusion are essential parameters controlling the structure and the strength of the developed geopolymeric gel. Exposure to elevated temperatures up to 650 °C induces a decrease in compressive strength between 58 and 71%. However, a further increase in the temperature of exposure till 800 °C induces a development of compressive strength. Overall, geopolymers with good compressive strength up to 40 MPa could be synthesized in the optimum conditions of fusion: 10% of NaOH and 550 °C.

Sintered magnesia with different particle sizes, fused MgAl2O4and FeAl2O4were used as the raw materials. FeAl2O4is added in MgO-MgAl2O4bricks at different ratios to gradually replace MgAl2O4. After the raw materials were molded and sintered at the tunnel furnace with the temperature 1 530°C for 10 hours, the MgO-MgAl2O4-FeAl2O4bricks could be made. After the analysis of the phase composition, microstructure and routine performance of the specimens, the influence by adding FeAl2O4to the samples on the properties such as thermal shock resistance, adhesion strength of kiln crust are discussed as the key point. The result shows that the addition of FeAl2O4has no evidently influence on the apparent porosity and volume density. The cold compressive strength of the samples reduces gradually with the addition of FeAl2O4, and it decreases obviously when the amount of FeAl2O4is more than 8%. When the addition of FeAl2O4is 5% FeAl2O4in the MgO-MgAl2O4-FeAl2O4bricks, MgAl2O4and FeAl2O4can combine each other’s advantages. The thermal shock resistance not only decreased obviously but the adhesion strength to kiln crust is increased.

Mullite and cordierite are produced in the laboratory from Iraqi raw materials, have been crushed individually to obtain dense ceramic bodies to a particle size smaller than 45µ. Five mixtures of cordierite and mullite have been prepared in which cordierite has been added to mullite with the percentages of 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 %. One hundred and twenty disk samples have been prepared using the semi-dry pressing method, with the pressure of 1000kg/cm2. The samples were dried and fired at different temperatures of 1300, 1350, 1400, and 1450 oC, with a soaking time of 2h. Physical evaluation tests (volume shrinkage, water absorption, apparent porosity, and bulk density) in addition to mechanical evaluation tests (compressive strength) have been performed. Samples fired at 1400 oC showed the best rates for the evaluation tests in general, in which the apparent porosity and water absorption for the samples were very low while the rates of density and compressive strength were high. The characteristics of samples fired at 1450 oC were overall poor while samples containing 60 and 70 % cordierite were melted. The best samples in this investigation were proven to be the ones containing 30% cordierite and 70% mullite while samples made out of 40% cordierite and 60% mullite show good mechanical and physical characteristics. The best ideal sample was the one fired at 1400 oC and contained 30% cordierite and 70% mullite.
