The powder synthesized was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) to confirm the phase formation, and the thermodynamic analysis was performed systematically. Moreover, the variation of its microwave permittivity with different atomic ratio of Al/Si was investigated in the frequency range of 8.2-12.4 GHz. The results show that, the powder obtained consists of spherical particles of 300-400 nm in diameter, which are composed of SiC and Al2O3 microcrystal with the grain size of approximately 45 nm. The results of XRD accord with those of the thermodynamic analysis. It is impossible for Al atoms to dissolve in the lattice of SiC during the carbothermal reduction process. Along with the increase of atomic ratio of Al/Si in the xerogel, the amount of Al2O3 in the powder synthesized increases, which reduces bothε', the real part of complex permittivity, and tgδ(ε'/ε'), the dissipation factor, whereε' is the imaginary part of complex permittivity.展开更多

It was found that the rheological behavior of SiC particles could be modified with a slightly oxidized surface that was similar to silica in colloidal behavior. The smaller the particles were, the more similar to silica the SiC powder was. The pH value of Al 2O 3-Y 2O 3-La 2O 3 synthesized powder slurry at isoelectric points (IEP) is higher than that of SiC powder. The dispersant PAA-NH 4 changes the IEP of both SiC and Al 2O 3-Y 2O 3-La 2O 3 powder slurry to higher pH values. The experimental results indicate that the composite suspension could possess satisfactory stability and lower viscosity at pH =10.1 and PAA-NH 4 as dispersant. The optimum solid loading was 550 0 in volume. Machinable green bodies with uniform complex shape are gained after molding.展开更多
