Abstract
Quartz ceramic has a great potential use in engineering ceramic materials. However, due to the cristobalite transformation in sintering process, the mechanical properties are weakened. The influence of Al3+ additions on bending strength and open porosity of quartz ceramics was determined by adding Al2O3 (sample 1) and aluminum sulfate solution (sample 2). The content of Al3+ ranged from 1% to 7%. Both samples were sintered at 1200°C for 2h. The bulk density of samples was measured by Archimede’s displacement method and the flexural strength of the specimens was tested using a conventional three point flexural method. The addition of 3% Al3+ of aluminum sulfate leads to better properties (bending strength at 14Mpa and open porosity at 23%). Glass theory was applied to explain the mechanisms of inhibiting crystallization of Al3+ additions.
