摘要
The thermal and mechanical properties of aluminum titanate-mullite composites prepared by a gel-coated powder processing method, namely a mullite precursor gel coating aluminum titanate particles (containing 2.5 wt% MgO), were investigated. A microstructure with both elongated and equiaxed mullite grains was observed in the composite samples. Both the mechanical strength and the thermal expansion coefficient increased with the mullite amount. The mechanical strength showed a strong dependence on the grain size of aluminum titanate with an exponent of -3. Inhibition of aluminum titanate grain growth due to the presence of the mullite phase enhanced the mechanical strength of the composites. The thermal shock resistance tended to decrease as the mullite content increased. The thermal stability of aluminum titanate was improved in the present composite system.
