The MWCNTs and alumina particles were ground under both the dry and wet conditions with various rotation speeds (200 - 400 r/min) in planetary ball milling machine, and their combination characteristics were described. The experimental results were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle sizing analysis (PSA). SEM result revealed that the combination of MWCNTs - Alumina particles mixed quite well under both the dry and wet grinding with rotation speed of 400 r/rain. XRD characterization indicated the better result could get in ground samples at a rotation speed of 400 r/min. PSA result showed the particle size decreased with increase the grinding speeds. From the overall results, we observed that the grinding method can be used to synthesize new material with high efficiency.展开更多
Three different castables based on the Al_2O_3–MgO –CaO system were prepared as steel-ladle purging plug refractories: corundum-based low-cement castable(C-LCC), corundum-spinel-based low-cement castable(C-S-LCC...Three different castables based on the Al_2O_3–MgO –CaO system were prepared as steel-ladle purging plug refractories: corundum-based low-cement castable(C-LCC), corundum-spinel-based low-cement castable(C-S-LCC), and corundum-spinel no-cement castable(C-S-NCC)(hydratable alumina(ρ-Al_2O_3) bonded). The fracture behavior at room temperature was tested by the method of "wedge-splitting" on samples pre-fired at different temperatures; the specific fracture energy G′f and notched tensile strength σNT were obtained from these tests. In addition, the Young's modulus E was measured by the method of resonance frequency of damping analysis(RFDA). The thermal stress resistance parameter R′′′′ calculated using the values of G′f, σNT, and E was used to evaluate the thermal shock resistance of the materials. According to the microstructure analysis results, the sintering effect and the bonding type of the matrix material were different among these three castables, which explains their different fracture behaviors.展开更多
