AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the presence of tiny air pockets in the ceramic slurry mixture leads to uneven material distribution in the green body, affecting the sintering quality.
Zirconia is melted with the alumina components of porcelain stone powder, kaolin, plastic clay powder and calcined coal gangue powder to form a eutectic, which adheres to the surface of the powder particles, fills the gaps between the particles, reduces the sintering temperature and improves the homogeneity of the material.
The use of zirconium dioxide effectively reduces micro-cavities and improves the homogeneity of the green body material, thereby enhancing the firing quality of the green body.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic slurry technology, and more specifically to a method for preparing ceramic slurry. Background Technology
[0002] The preparation of ceramic slurry is a complex technology that combines materials science, colloid chemistry, and process experience. Successful slurry requires meticulous formulation design, strict raw material control, standardized operating procedures, thorough impurity removal, sufficient aging, and precise monitoring and adjustment of key performance parameters. Repeated experimentation and experience accumulation in practice are crucial for obtaining high-quality slurry that meets specific requirements.
[0003] In the prior art, due to the presence of tiny cavities in the mixed slurry, the gas inside the tiny cavities expands during the sintering of the preform, affecting the uniformity of the preform material and thus affecting the sintering quality of the preform. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing ceramic slurry, which can improve the homogeneity of the green body material, thereby improving the firing quality of the green body.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A method for preparing ceramic slurry, the ceramic slurry comprising the following raw materials:
[0007] 12-14 parts of silica sand powder;
[0008] 7-9 parts of porcelain stone powder;
[0009] 4-7 parts of kaolin powder;
[0010] 30-34 parts of plastic clay powder;
[0011] 31-35 parts of calcined coal gangue powder;
[0012] Sodium tripolyphosphate 0.12-0.25 parts;
[0013] Sodium silicate 0.2-0.5 parts;
[0014] 14-18 parts feldspar powder;
[0015] 4-5 parts of zirconium dioxide;
[0016] 18-32 parts water;
[0017] The method for preparing ceramic slurry includes the following steps:
[0018] Step 1: Mix the above-mentioned amount of feldspar powder with sodium silicate. After mixing evenly, calcine at 1000-1200℃. Crush the calcined and cooled finished product to obtain mixed powder with a particle size of less than 20μm.
[0019] Step 2: Mix the above-mentioned amounts of silica sand powder, porcelain stone powder, kaolin, plastic clay powder, calcined coal gangue powder, zirconium dioxide, and water with the mixed powder from Step 1, and ball mill to obtain a coarse slurry with a particle size of less than 10μm.
[0020] Step 3: Stir the coarse slurry and then age it. During the aging process, add the above-mentioned amount of sodium tripolyphosphate, heat the slurry, and continue stirring to obtain ceramic slurry for grouting.
[0021] Specifically, in step one, calcination is carried out under a reducing atmosphere of hydrogen and nitrogen.
[0022] Specifically, in step one, the calcination time is 40 minutes.
[0023] Specifically, the aging process in step three takes more than three days.
[0024] Specifically, the stirring time in step three is more than three hours.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0026] Step 1: Mix the above-mentioned amount of feldspar powder with sodium silicate. After mixing evenly, calcine at 1000-1200℃. Crush the calcined and cooled finished product to obtain mixed powder with a particle size of less than 20μm.
[0027] Step 2: Mix the above-mentioned amounts of silica sand powder, porcelain stone powder, kaolin, plastic clay powder, calcined coal gangue powder, zirconium dioxide, and water with the mixed powder from Step 1, and ball mill to obtain a coarse slurry with a particle size of less than 10μm.
[0028] Step 3: Stir the coarse slurry and then age it. During the aging process, add the above-mentioned amount of sodium tripolyphosphate, heat the slurry, and continue stirring to obtain ceramic slurry for grouting.
[0029] In existing technologies, the presence of micro-cavities in the mixed slurry leads to gas expansion within these cavities during green body sintering, affecting the uniformity of the green body material and thus impacting the sintering quality. To improve the homogeneity of the green body material, this solution utilizes zirconium dioxide:
[0030] After mixing with the slurry, zirconium dioxide is incorporated into the silica sand powder, porcelain stone powder, kaolin, plastic clay powder, and calcined coal gangue powder. The zirconium dioxide melts with the alumina components of these powders to form a eutectic. This eutectic adheres to the surface of the other raw material particles, further accelerating the melting of oxide components on the surfaces of these powders, thus lowering the sintering temperature of the green body. The eutectic formed by the melting of zirconium dioxide and alumina flows along the surface of the solid particles under tension, filling the gaps between particles and squeezing out some air from tiny cavities, improving the homogeneity of the green body materials and thus enhancing the firing quality of the green body.
