Abstract

In this paper, the calcium-hexaluminate/gehlenite (CA6/C2AS) composites have been synthesized by traditional high temperature solid state method using magnesium slag as a source of calcium and silicon. The phases, micromorphology and physical properties of the samples were characterized and analysized. The results show that the CA6 and C2AS grains formation starts at 1300oC, the main reaction has completed above 1450oC. The granular particles of C2AS are distributed in CA6 grain boundaries. With the sintering temperature increased, the amount and the grains of CA6 grow up gradually, while the amount of C2AS reduces. The CA6 grains don’t growth excessively for the space hindrance function. With the sintering temperature increased the body density, linear shrinkage and flexural strength increases, while the apparent porosity decreases.
