Effect of Sintering Method on the Properties of Quartz Porous Ceramics

摘要

The sintering methods of quartz sand porous ceramics were researched with the low grade quartz sand along the Yangtze River via the vacuum sintering method in this paper, which lay technology foundation for researching new heat insulating materials. The quartz porous ceramics is obtained with the high performance cost, the quartz porous ceramics is sintered at 1050℃ via the vacuum conditions, the density of ceramics is 1.267g/cm~3, the porosity is 51.6%, the compressive strength is 3.184MPa, the porous ceramics show the homogeneous distribution micro-pore and good shape. The density and the compressive strength of prepared ceramics via the vacuum sintering both are higher than that of prepared ceramics via the atmosphere sintering, however, the porosity is shown the opposite results.
