Effect of Adding Porcelain on Properties of Porous Ceramic Based on Electromelted Corundum

详细

Porous permeable ceramic is prepared from electromelted corundum (EMC) with fineness of about 0.5 mm with added porcelain. Compositions are prepared with different ratios of EMC/porcelain: 99/1, 97/3, 95/5, 93/7, and 90/10. Specimens in the form of bars with a size of 40 × 7 × 6.5 mm are prepared by uniaxial semidry compaction under a pressure of 25 and 50 MPa and fired at 1350 and 1450°C. Specimen open porosity varies from 22 to 30%, and ultimate strength in bending from 1.1 to 9.3 MPa. Porous ceramic is promising for filters and ceramic membrane substrates.
