A comparative analysis of the effectiveness deflocculating effect Russian and international polycarboxylate ethers additives on rheological properties high-alumina matrix suspensions is presented in this article. For production functional systems, submicron activated α-alumina modified high alumina cement are used ratio 80:20 90:10 wt. %, respec-tively. fluidity with a moisture content 20% carr...

Composite materials formed by a LAS matrix reinforced with second phases are promising materials in many applications where better mechanical properties than those corresponding to conventional low thermal expansion coefficient materials are required. In this study we will show the capability of the design of a LAS-alumina submicron composite. The main scope of this work is to test the sinterab...

Recent studies have shown that the mullitization of diphasic aluminosilicate matrices comprising transitional alumina and amorphous silica occurs via a nucleation and growth process. Nucleation is preceded by a temperature-dependent incubation period. Following this incubation period, rapid nucleation of mullite occurs, producing about 1.8 X 10" nuclei/cm3, which remains constant throughout the...

PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the flexural strength of the joint between glass-infiltrated alumina frames and the experimental adjusting agent (MA modifier) that contains alumina and magnesia. METHODS A commercially available adjusting agent (Optimizer), a slurry of alumina powder (Alumina modifier), and a bulk specimen (joint-free alumina) were used as controls. Be...

MgAlON composites have been prepared under nitrogen atmosphere, using Dengfeng calcined alumina w(Al2O3) = 85 % and other raw material, in order to reduce the production cost and make full use of the rich bauxite resources in Henan Province. The effects of the different sintering temperature and different matrix content on the preparation and properties of MgAlON composites were investigated. T...
