MgO stabilised tialite prepared by urea formaldehyde polymeric route

Tialite was prepared from the chlorine salts of aluminium and titanium ria a ur ea formaldehyde resin formation route. Tialite was readily formed at 1 450-1500 degrees C in bodies processed from powders containing either 3 wt- %MgF2 or 5 wt-%MgO added during resin formation. The resultant material wit hstood heat treatment at 1100 degrees C for 24 h without dissociation. In b odies prepared by mixing powders of MgO, MgF2, or a combination of both wit h polymer prepared powder, the resultant tialite was less stable against di ssociation.
