C. Leonelli et al., SINTERING BEHAVIOR OF TAPE-CAST CMAS GLASS-CERAMIC REINFORCED WITH ALUMINA CHOPPED FIBERS, Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 13(5), 1994, pp. 437-440
The sintering behaviour of CMA S glass-ceramic and CMAS glass-ceramic/
alumina chopped fibre (20 wt%) composites was studied at different tem
peratures, ranging. from 800 to 1000-degrees-C, using scanning electro
n microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and porosimetry i
nvestigations. The evaluation of linear shrinkage, density and porosit
y were sufficient to define the best sintering conditions, while SEM a
nd XRD allowed the nature of the matrix/fibre interface to be studied.
