Impact Strength of Aluminium Titanate with Low Elasticity

摘要

The absorbed energy of aluminium titanate (A12TiO5) refractory ceramics was measured with a pendulum-style impact test machine. Aluminium titanate ceramics are well-known as low thermal expansion materials and high thermal shock resistance materials. We prepared some aluminium titanate ceramics which had low elastic modulus of 0.1-11GPa and therefore showed a flexibility, the absorbed energy increased with increasing flexibility.
