Investigation on Properties of the Silica Ceramic Cores for the Hollow Blades Prepared by the Conversion of the Silicon Resin

Article Preview

Abstract:

The working conditions of the ceramic cores are extremely harsh with the development of the preparation technology and improvement of the use conditions in the hollow blades, which brings forward high request for the preparation and properties of the ceramic cores. In this paper, silica ceramic powders were firstly coated by the silicon resin. The obtained composite powders were used to prepare the ceramic cores by the dry pressing method. And the phase compositions, microstructure and properties of the ceramic cores with the sintering temperatures were investigated. The results showed that the composite powders prepared by the coating showed good formability. The sintering temperature promoted the formation of the cristobalite. With the increase of the sintering temperature, the porosity of ceramic cores gradually decreased, the shrinkage rate and bulk-density increased. The prepared ceramic cores at 1250°C had highest bend strength of 19.25Mpa.
