Abstract

ABSTRACT: Porous alumina based ceramics were fabricated by injection method, where alumina powders were used as raw materials and solvent silicone resin was used as binder. During the heat treatment process, an organic-inorganic transformation occurred in silicone resin. The increase of heating temperature promoted the formation of mullite phase when the temperature was higher than 1500°C. The weight loss of porous alumina based ceramics was maintained at 5.7∼5.9%. When the heating temsperature was 1500°C, porous alumina based ceramics showed the biggest shrinkage rate, lowest apparent porosity and highest bending strength. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT:
