摘要
Mullite ceramic,as one of high-performance thermal storage ceramics for solar thermal power generation systems,was in-situ fabricated with talc as a sintering aid via semi-dry pressing and pressureless sintering in air.The mullitization influence of talc as a sintering aid on the formation of andalusite was investigated,and its mechanism to promote the sintering densification of samples was analyzed.The results show that talc reacts with corundum at a low temperature to in-situ produce cordierite.Cordierite reacts in-situ to produce mullite and glass phase,which reduces the sintering temperature sharply when corundum reacts with rich silicon fluid directly and generates secondary mullite.Cordierite resolves and produces magnesium oxide liquid phase,which contains active aluminium oxide lattice capable of reducing reaction activation energy and promoting remaining corundum to react with rich silicon fluid and produces secondary mullite.
