Phase Composition of the Core–Shell Transition Layer in a Construction Ceramic Matrix Structure Made from Non-Plastic Raw Material with Clay Additives

Abstract

The process of forming, by means of a proposed technology, the transitional layer between a dispersed medium and a dispersed phase of a ceramic matrix composite is investigated and a method of fabricating multilayer samples modeling at the macro level the interface between phases in the direction matrix–core of the composite material is presented. A qualitative and semiquantitative analysis is presented of new phases which are products of an interaction, occuring during firing, of a core made from sludgy iron-ore wastes and a matrix made from clayey raw material.
