The invention discloses a method for preparing a
barium zirconate crucible by slip
casting, comprising the following steps: a) calcining a commercial
barium zirconate powder; b) carrying out ball milling on the calcined
powder for 24h and
drying for later use; c) adding
distilled water and a solution of Arabic gum into the dried
powder, mixing for 2-5h, sieving through a 200-mesh
sieve, and removing
large particle impurities in the
slurry; d) injecting the
slurry into a plaster mold until a certain thickness is reached, pouring out the residual
slurry, placing the plaster mold in the air, demoulding, pouring out a biscuit,
drying in an environment of 30-40 DEG C, carrying out fettling, and naturally
drying; and 3) heating at the rate of 1-20 DEG C / min to 1600-1800 DEG C, and carrying out
thermal insulation for 2-12 h so as to obtain the
barium zirconate crucible. The invention has advantages as follows: raw materials are cheap and easily available; the technology is simple; costs are low; and the method is suitable for large-scale production. The prepared
barium zirconate crucible has characteristics of high strength, high
thermal shock resistance,
high density and the like, can be used in a high-temperature environment, and provides a good material foundation for
crystal growth and other applications.
