Synthesis of Aluminum Titanate Based Composite Ceramics Using High-Power Fast-Electron Beam

Abstract

The paper presents the synthesis of the aluminum–zirconia titanate composite powder using a high-power fastelectron beam. It is shown that the electron-beam processing of the mixture of initial oxide powders leads to the formation of composite ceramics with a complex phase composition. It is found that the porosity of the powder mixture depends on the electron beam parameters, scanning, and beam-induced displacement rate of the cuvette. When selecting these parameters, it is possible to synthesize low-porosity ceramics, which shows the tendency of combining synthesis and sintering during the electron-beam processing.
