Effects of SiO2 and Fe2O3 on morphological of mullite were investigated for a special use related to mullite containing SiO2 and Fe2O3. It was concluded that, when Al2O3/SiO2 ratio near the theoretical component of mullite, the composites cannot been sintered at 1600°C. The normal morphology of mullite presents granule form with Fe2O3 addition, while takes a long column shape with the condition of excessive. SiO2 presenting. Fe2O3 can promote sintering of mullite, as well as growing in needle-like morphology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
