Alumina-Mullite-Zirconia ceramic composites were prepared by reaction sintering of alumina, zircon mixture and the sintering aids of magnesia and titania at temperatures of 1400 and 1600 C for 2 hours. The development of different phases and microstructures of the composites were analysed to assess the relative influence of the additives on the formation of alumina-zirconia-mullite compos...

The refractory materials used in the wall of furnaces for glass melting can be prepared from mullite-zirconia composite material. mullite/zirconia was synthesized Iraqi kaolin, γ-alumina, and zirconia using thermal decomposition with reaction sintering at 1600 °C. Several batches were various ratios zirconia, compositions selected Al2O3-SiO2-ZrO2 phase diagram. different steps beginning milling...

A numerical design approach for ceramic multilayer laminates with predetermined stress profiles is here proposed and compared with a well established theoretical method. The design procedure allows for the optimization of layer composition, in order to obtain high reliability and at the same time control composition and stress state of each layer. The proposed approach is used to design alumina...

Digital light processing (DLP) can produce small series ceramic parts with complex geometries and tiny structures without the high cost of molds usually associated traditional processing. However, availability feedstock different ceramics for technique is still limited. Mullite-zirconia composites are refractory materials diverse applications, nevertheless, their 3D printing has never been repo...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the piston stress distribution using several thicknesses of the coating materials to achieve higher gasoline engine performance. First of all, finite element structure analysis is used to uncoated petrol piston made of aluminum alloy. Then, steel and cast iron piston materials are conducted and compared with the aluminum piston. After that, investigation ...

Cracks free mullite-alumina Functionally Gradient Ceramics (FGC) have been obtained by sequential slip casting of Mullite-alumina slurries with diserent mullite/alumina ratios. These slurries were prepared with 65 % solids content and viscosities rangingpom 10 to 40 mPa.s. 7he presence of cracks perpendicular to the FGC layers have been attributed to residual stresses developed because of the m...

Corrosion resistance of zircon reinforced alumina refractories has been carried out through static crucible test. The corrosion measurements with percentage, the penetration depth of molten steel and the microstructure of the refractories were evaluated after soaking 150 h at the temperature of 1500˚C. Results showed that the corrosion resistance of alumina increased by adding 20 wt% zirc...

The microwave-drilling technique using an open-end coaxial applicator was disclosed recently [1-3]. This paper presents new experimental and theoretical results of microwave-drilling studies in various ceramics, including mullite, alumina, and zirconia. The paper reviews the microwave-drill principles and describes the experimental setup and procedures. Aspects of igniting the microwavedrilling...
