摘要

In this work, silica-based ceramic cores with alumina as a mineralizer were prepared via an injection molding method, and the effects of alumina on the microstructural evolution and properties at 1450°C (simulating the process of equiaxed castings) and 1550°C (simulating the process of columnar/single crystal castings) were investigated. It was found that alumina promoted the cristobalite crystallization of fused silica refractory during sintering but inhibited the devitrification rate in the subsequent heating. The flexural strength of silica-based ceramic cores at an ambient temperature and 1450°C improved with an increasing alumina content, whereas the opposite trend appeared at 1550°C. The creep resistances of silica-based cores were improved significantly and then slightly deteriorated with an increasing alumina content from 5% to 20%, depending on the competition effects of alumina hindering the viscous flow of liquid silica (favorable), but suppressing the devitrification rate (unfavorable). The results of this work show that silica-based cores need to follow different compositional design principles for equiaxed and columnar/single-crystal turbine blade castings.
