Example
[0038] Examples prefixed by the letter “C” denote comparative (non-inventive) examples. Amounts of phases measured by powder XRD are denoted as major (M), minor (m), very minor (vm), trace (tr), small or very small trace (s.tr. and v.s.tr), or absent (0). Examples in Tables 2 to 19, and 23, were fired in electric furnaces; those in Tables 20-22 utilized either gas or electric furnaces, as indicated in the tables. In Tables 2-23, “MPS” denotes median particle size (diameter) in micrometers. MPS of the inorganic raw materials is equivalent to D50 and is also in micrometers. In the examples of Tables 2 to 23, the MPS of all inorganic raw materials includes contributions from alumina, aluminum hydroxide, titania, kaolin, and quartz.
Example
[0039] Examples C1 and C2 in Table 2 show that, in the absence of a metal oxide addition selected from the inventive group of compounds, ceramic bodies of aluminum titanate+mullite fired at 1400 or 1500° C. have a CTE greater than 15. Comparative examples C3 and C4 show that, although the addition of 2.78% Y2O3 reduces the CTE to less than 15, the median pore size is undesirably less than 8 microns when the weighted average of the median particle sizes of the inorganic raw materials is less than 6 microns.
[0040] Table 3 shows that, even when the weighted average of the median particle sizes of the inorganic raw materials is greater than 6 microns, the CTEs of the aluminum titanate +mullite ceramics are greater than 15 and the median pore sizes are less than 8 microns in the absence of a metal oxide addition selected from the inventive group of compounds, regardless of whether the compositions are fired at 1400° C. or at 1500° C. Furthermore, in the absence of the inventive sinterin...
Example
[0042] Examples 2 and 3 further show that the %porosity of the ceramic bodies is desirably increased by the addition of at least 1.0 wt % MoO3 to the raw materials. FIG. 1 illustrates that the microstructure of Inventive Example 16 consists of “domains” of radiating aluminum titanate crystals. Such domains provide a unique microstructure that may influence the nature of the microcracking in the inventive ceramics. This microstructure is contrasted with that of Comparative Example C5 in FIG. 2, which depicts the lack of domains when an inventive metal oxide additive is absent.
[0043] The examples in Table 5 illustrate that firing the inventive compositions at 1500° C. still yields very low CTE and a median pore size greater than 8 microns while still preserving desirable high porosities. Thus, the inventive sintering additives do not result in excessive densification of the ceramic bodies with increasing temperature, and are therefore conducive to manufacturing processes that do not ...
