The invention belongs to the field of foam
ceramic, and particularly relates to an
alumina fiber-enhanced nano-
alumina foam
ceramic and a preparation method thereof. The
alumina fiber-enhanced nano-alumina foam
ceramic comprises the following raw materials: a nanometer aluminum
oxide powder, a premix solution, a dispersing agent, aluminum
oxide fiber, a
foaming agent, an initiator and a catalyst, wherein premix solution is formed by adding a
monomer and a crosslinking agent into an
alcohol-water
mixed solution; and the
mass ratio of the alumina fiber to nano-alumina
powder is (5-30): (95-70). By adopting the
alcohol-water
mixed solution as a
solvent for
gel casting, the
surface tension among particles can be reduced, and the quality of dry blanks can be increased; the
compressive strength of the finished product is more than 30MPa, the
porosity is more than 50%, the
volume density is less than 3g / cm<3>; the usage temperature is 1500-1750DEG C, the alumina fiber-enhanced nano-alumina foam ceramic is a lightweight and high temperature-resistant
refractory material, and can be used in the field of lining materials of a high-temperature electric resistance furnace. The invention further provides a preparation method of the alumina fiber-enhanced nano-alumina foam ceramic, thus being suitable for industrial production.
