The invention discloses a preparation method for
rare earth niobate high-temperature ceramics RENbO4 (RE=Y, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Er and Yb). The adopted raw materials include
rare earth oxide and
niobium oxide. The method comprises the following steps: weighting the raw materials in proportion; putting the weighted raw materials and absolute ethyl
alcohol into a ball-milling tank, mixing, sealing and then putting on a planetary
ball mill for milling, and uniformly mixing; adding binder, namely,
polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel, into the milled mixture, and then milling for a period of time, and uniformly mixing;
drying and screening the mixed
powder and then putting into a mold for compacting; pre-
sintering; cooling, taking out the sample after pre-
sintering,
grinding, milling, adding
polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel, and then milling,
drying and screening; putting the
powder after screening in the mold and compacting, and then
sintering for the second time. The preparation method has the advantages of high technical purity, low
impurity content, low product preparation cost and suitability for bath production. The targeted product is expected to become a novel high temperature-resisting,
antioxidant and abrasion-resisting
ceramic material.
