The invention discloses aluminum
oxide foamed
ceramic for
casting and filtering molten aluminum and a preparation method of the aluminum
oxide foamed
ceramic, and belongs to the technical field of aluminum
oxide ceramics. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out
plasma activation on
polyurethane foam, then immersing the
polyurethane foam into a composite modifier
system consisting of a main modifier, an auxiliary modifier and a catalyst, and sequentially carrying out first-stage
grafting and second-stage cross-linking reaction to introduce carboxyl-hydroxyl composite functional groups and a heterocyclic cross-linking structure to the surface of the foam, so as to obtain a modified precursor; uniformly
coating the precursor with aluminum
oxide ceramic slurry by adopting a vacuum-pressure alternate impregnation method, and finally
drying and
sintering at high temperature to obtain a finished product. By constructing a strong
interface bonding layer, the adhesion uniformity and firmness of
ceramic slurry on an organic precursor are remarkably improved, the aluminum oxide foamed ceramic which is compact in framework, few in defect, high in
mechanical strength, excellent in filtering performance and resistant to molten aluminum
erosion is obtained, and the aluminum oxide foamed ceramic is suitable for molten liquid purification of high-end aluminum castings.
