Hp. Steier et al., TITANIUM ZIRCONATE THICK-FILMS ON RUTILE SUBSTRATES BY REACTIVE COATING OF ZIRCON, Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 78(9), 1995, pp. 2560-2562
A mechanically stable thick layer (approximate to 50 mu m) of ZrTiO4 o
n a rutile substrate has been obtained at 1600 degrees C by reactive c
oating of zircon. This layer is constituted by ZrTiO grains of approxi
mate to 10 mu-m average size embedded in a silica-rich glassy matrix.
The results are discussed in terms of the ZrO2-SiO2-TiO2 equilibrium d
iagram.
