Thermal Shock Behavior

The thermal shock behavior of alumina ceramics tested by two different approaches, water and air quenching, using an automatic experimental set was investigated. The changes of the flexural strength before and after the thermal shock was measured and used as an indicator of thermal shock resistance. The study reveals that air quenching test has limited impact on the changes of flexural strength, whereas the water quenching yields considerable decreases of the strength. The alumina ceramics was quenched in water at various temperature differences for five cycles. It is shown that the retained strength of the quenched specimens decreases abruptly at the temperature difference of 300°C, which indicates a great severity of thermal shock in this point. The thermal shock behavior of the specimens is evaluated by quenching in water as three different temperature differences, ΔT, setting at 300°C, 600°C and 800°C, respectively. The results show, for three different ΔT quenches, the strength reductions caused by the quenching exhibit similar trends: After a sharp drop, the residual strength remains almost unchanged at a certain level for each given quenching temperature difference, and the turning points all fall in the very first five to ten thermal cycles range. And the rank of the damage severity of alumina ceramics among the three different temperature differences is: ΔT800°C > ΔT600°C > ΔT300°C

Thermal Shock Behavior

The mechanical properties and thermal shock behavior of Mg-PSZ/LaPO4 ceramics was investigated. The thermal shock resistance of the materials was evaluated by water quenching and a subsequent three-point bending test to determine the flexural strength degradation. Mg-PSZ/15LaPO4 composite showed a higher thermal shock resistance and behaved as a typical refractory. The calculation of thermal shock resistance parameters for the composites and the monolith had indicated possible explanations for the differences in thermal shock behavior.

Effect Of Surface

The isothermal oxidation of the ZrB2-SiC-ZrC ceramic was carried out in static air at a constant temperature of 1500±15 oC for 20 min. Compared with the original strength of 580 MPa, the strength of the oxidized specimen increased to 655±45 MPa, because the flaws in the surface of the specimen were sealed by the oxide layer. The thermal shock resistance of the specimens before and after the oxidation was measured by the water quenching. The measured ΔTcritfor the oxidized specimen was 641 oC that was obviously greater than 348 °C for the unoxidized specimen. The improvement in the thermal shock resistance was attributed to the formation the oxide layer on the surface of the specimen. The results here pointed to a promising method for improving strength and thermal shock resistance of ZrB2-based ceramics.

Interface Bonding Strength

In order to improve the thermal shock behavior of high temperature resistant coating on porous fibrous referactory insulations, the MoSi2-BaO-Al2O3-SiO2(MoSi2-BAS) gradient porous coatings were designed by preparing a dense surface layer and a porous bonding layer with the method of brushing and subsequent sintering at 1773 K. The porous bonding layer was obtained by adding polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as pore former. As the content of PMMA increases, the MoSi2-BAS coatings changed from a dense structure into a gradient porous structure. The interface bonding strength and thermal shock resistance of the MoSi2-BAS coatings were investigated. The result shows that the as-prepared coating with gradient porous structure exhibited excellent thermal shock resistance, which remained gradient structure without cracking after thermal cycling 100 times between 1773 K and room temperature. And the interface bonding strength of the gradient porous coating reached 1.5±0.08 Mpa, which was much better than that of the dense coating.

Zirconia Toughened Alumina

The effect of CaO, MgO and SiO2 as a flux on the sinterability of zirconia toughened alumina(ZTA) used for plasma reactors was investigated and the effect of zircon addition on thermal shock resistance of ZTA with 15wt.% of ZrO2 was also investigated. The resultant data revealed that ZTA shows the best sinterability at the composition of 2wt.% of CaO, 4wt.% of MgO and 2wt.% of SiO2 and at the sintering temperature of 1350°C. Thermal shock resistance of ZTA containing zircon was improved significantly. It is shown that ZTA containing 10wt.% of zircon shows better thermal shock resistance than others. This fact can be explained due to the low thermal expansion coefficient of zircon. It was concluded that zircon is an effective material to improve thermal shock resistance of alumina ceramics.

Flame sprayed ceramic coatings on the wall of coke oven are characterized before and after melting. The attempt has been made to investigate thermal shock resistant, carbon deposit resistant, wear resistant of the coated and melted samples. The techniques used are SEM and XRD. The results show that: 1) Presence of quartz, corundum and mullite are identified in the surface of the coated specimen. Good adhesion between the coating and the substrate is caused by presence of quartz which is the same content as the substrate.2) The thermal shock resistance cycles of the coating samples are 15 ~ 30 times, but uncoated samples are only 1~2 times. The main reason is that he coating–substrate interface shows no gaps or cracks, and it has a characteristic feature of good adhesion between the coating and the substrate. 3) The wear resistance of the coated samples are better than that of the uncoated samples because glass-coating is more smooth than the uncoated specimen and the mullite and corundum in the coating have the high hardness value that makes the hardness of the coating increased.

Mullite Whiskers

To reinforce the mullite/Al2O3 composite ceramics through formation of mullite whiskers, the composite ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering using different AlF3 content. The microstructure, porosity, fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance of the composite ceramics were investigated. The results show that the addition of AlF3 can promote the mullite whisker formations, and the whiskers with the size of 3～10μm in diameter and a length-diameter ratio of 10～15 are obtained by sintering at 1600°C with the AlF3 content of 5wt%. Fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance of the composite ceramics are improved by the formation of mullite whisker. The fracture toughness of 4.79MPa•m1/2 can be obtained, and the 95.18% flexural strength remained after thermal shock.

Abstract: Cordierite–alumina ceramics were prepared with the raw materials of cordierite and α-alumina powder, and TiO2，CuO and MgO were added as composite additives. The effect of MgO/ CuO ratios on the microstructure, thermal conductivity and thermal shock resistance of cordierite–alumina ceramics were researched by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and laser flash analyzer; the bulk density and the porosity of cordierite – alumina ceramics were measured. The results show that with increasing of MgO/CuO ratios, the bulk density and thermal conductivity increase firstly and then decrease, and have a minimum with 0.4wt% MgO and 0.667 MgO/CuO; and the porosity of ceramics decreases firstly and then increases and has a maximum with 0.4wt% MgO and 0.667 MgO/CuO;There are little changes in the size of the grain of the ceramics, and a small amount of magnesium aluminate spinel precipitate; the thermal shock resistance performance of the ceramics is developed with the increasing of MgO/CuO ratios.

β-Sialon bonded ZrO2 composites were prepared by reaction sintering process using β-Sialon and CaO stabilized ZrO2 powders as raw materials.The effect of β-Sialon powder additions on the properties of the composites was investigated. The results show that the samples with 10 wt% of β-Sialon addition had the lowest apparent porosity (29.80%) and the highest of flexural strength (68.70MPa). The thermal shock resistance in carbon addition of the composites could be improved by addtion of 5wt% β-Sialon. It may be relative with that the sample had the lowest thermal expansion coefficient in vacuum.
