Abstract
Aluminium titanate (AT)–mullite composites with varying compositions were processed by sol–gel technique. The influence of mullite on the microstructure and creep deformation of AT–mullite composites was investigated. In the composites mullite addition was varied from 0 to 100 vol.%. The AT-80 vol.% mullite composite sintered at 1600 °C resulted in fine-grained microstructure with an average grain size of 2.5 μm. From the steady-state creep analysis of the different AT–mullite composites, the activation energies for the creep deformation and stress exponents were determined. The activation energies in the range 655–874 kJ mol −1 were obtained for various the sol–gel derived AT–mullite composites. Similarly stress exponent values were found in the range 1.5–1.9.
