Abstract

Mullite reticulated porous ceramics (RPCs) were fabricated with fly ash, alumina, and andalusite by polymer sponge replica technique, followed by the process of vacuum infiltration with recoating slurry included. And the effect of different recoating slurry with different particle size fly ash on the properties of mullite RPCs was studied. The matrix slurry and recoating slurry were investigated and optimized. And then, the microstructure, composition of phases, and mechanical properties of mullite RPCs were examined by SEM (scanning electron micrograph), XRD (X-ray diffraction), and hydraulic universal testing machine. Moreover, the influence of particle size of fly ash on the thermal shock stability was analyzed by calculating residual stress model and grey relational model. The result indicated that the specimens that were recoated by the slurry with the smaller particle size of fly ash might have more excellent properties.
