The invention relates to lightweight rigid
ceramic heat-insulation tile and a manufacture method thereof. The lightweight rigid
ceramic heat-insulation tile comprises the following components:
ceramic fibers,
starch accounting for 0.05-15wt% of the ceramic fibers, a
sintering aid and a sunscreen, wherein the ceramic fibers are composed of 50-100wt% of
quartz fibers and 0-50wt% of porzite fibers; the
sintering aid is
boron nitride accounting for 0.01-15wt% of the ceramic fibers; and the sunscreen is
silicon carbide accounting for 0-20wt% of the ceramic fibers. According to the invention, the
quartz fibers and porzite fibers are utilized as raw materials to manufacture the ceramic heat-insulation tile with good heat-insulation and mechanical properties through
fiber dispersion, wet blank shaping, high-temperature
sintering and like. The obtained ceramic heat-insulation tile has the advantages that the density is 0.15-0.80 g / cm<3>, the
thermal conductivity at
room temperature is 0.045W / m.K, and the plane tensile strength is larger than 0.4 MPa. According to the invention, the porzite fibers are utilized to substitute for aluminum
oxide fibers and aluminum borosilicate fibers, and the performance of the ceramic heat-insulation tile is approximate to that of the ceramic heat-insulation tiles used by the space shuttles in America.
