Structure of kaoline–alumina based foam ceramics for high temperature applications

Analysis and Artifact Correction for Volume Correlation Measurements Using Tomographic Images from a Laboratory X-ray Source

“…3D views of various materials [3,4] are obtained in a non-destructive way. Reconstructed volumes give invaluable indications on the structure of metallic [5], ceramic [6,7], cementitious [8], cellular [9] materials. Damage mechanisms [10,11] and cracks [12,13] are also analyzed through direct visualization.…”

The Kaolin Residue and Its Use for Production of Mullite Bodies

“…The mullite is perhaps one of the most important stages in both the traditional and advanced ceramics (Schneider et al 2008;Juettner et al 2007;Sola et al 2006;Mazdiyasni et al, 1983). The exceptional scientific and technical importance of mullite can be explained on the basis of their characteristics, to be a stable crystalline phase from room temperature up to about 1880 C at atmospheric pressure (Mileiko et al 2009;Esharghawi et al 2009;Schneider et al, 2008, Skoog et al, 1988, have in their properties the main reason for your application, such as low thermal expansion (20 / 200 C = 4 x 10 -6 K -1 ), low conductivity thermal (k = 2.0 Wm -1 K -1 ), low density (3.17 g/cm 3 ), low dielectric constant ( = 6.5 at 1 MHz), excellent wear resistance and high resistance at temperatures suitable for use (Esharghawi et al 2009;Schneider & Komarneni, 2005;Schneider, 1994;Meng et al 1983;Bartscher et al 1999;Viswabaskaran et al, 2003), and the fact that the raw materials for its production (eg alumina, silica, aluminum silicates, sheet silicates rich in Al 2 O 3 , clays, etc.)…”

Thermal shock resistance of porous Al2O3-mullite ceramics

“…This method is similar to the aerated concrete technology and has been described previously [16]. Pores form as a result of a chemical reaction between aluminium and water in an alkaline medium (pH>9) during the hydrogen gas evolution reaction and solidification of the suspension.…”
