Descrição
Resumo:This work aimed to evaluate the effects of processing on microstructure and properties of alumina-mullite composites via reactive sintering of a mixture of kaolinite clay and aluminum hydroxide. Cylindrical pellets were pressed at 40 MPa and sintered between 1300 and 1600 °C. The technological properties were determined as a function of sintering temperature. The evaluation of crystalline phases and microstructure was performed by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. Structural results indicate the attainment of mullite and alumina at 1300 °C. Apparent porosity below 0.8% and flexural strength higher than 40 MPa were obtained for sintering temperatures above 1450 °C. A flexural strength as high as 70 MPa was obtained after sintering at 1600 °C. This study demonstrates the possibility of preparing low cost alumina-mullite composites with technological properties compatible with those of ceramics produced by companies with large operations in the international market of refractory products
