Abstract
In this paper, 70-80 mesh SiC particles were used as the base, and 2.5%MgO was added on the basis of quartz, kaolin and potassium feldspar as the binder. Meanwhile, graphite and activated carbon were added as pore-making agents for SiC porous ceramic supports. At the same time, the amount of binder added was changed under the condition of keeping SiC: pore-making agent 8:1 unchanged. The effects of binder content on flexural strength, filtration pressure drop and porosity of porous SiC ceramics were investigated. The results indicated that the comprehensive properties of SiC porous ceramics can be improved by adding proper amount of MgO. When the content of MgO in the binder was controlled at 2.5% and the amount of binder was 6%, the comprehensive performance of the sample was the best under the conditions of 1300 °C, holding time for 90 minutes and forming pressure of 4/10MPa, respectively. In this case, the flexural strength was 48mpa, the porosity was 25% and the filtration pressure drop was good.
