Prospective Refractory Materials For Smelting and Sintering Alloys Based on Titanium and Other Transition Metals. Part 1. Calcium Zirconate Synthesis for Ceramic Products

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Information about calcium zirconate is presented. The areas of its use and methods of obtaining it are considered. It has been established that the simplest and most cost-effective method is solid-phase synthesis from calcium carbonate and zirconium dioxide. Heat treatment of a mixture of the initial powders at different temperatures was carried out. It has been established that 1300°C for 4 hours is enough for completeness of the synthesis. The resulting powder has activity to sintering and is suitable for manufacturing technical ceramics and refractories, including for smelting and sintering materials made of titanium and titanium alloys.
