  • Patent number: 12017960
    Abstract: A preparation method of heat-resistant adhesive of silicon-boron-carbon-zirconium modified aluminum-zirconium phosphate for zirconium oxide ceramics is provided. The high-temperature adhesive can generate various high-temperature resistant phases such as zirconia, aluminum phosphate, zirconium phosphate and aluminum borate in situ of the high-temperature adhesive at high temperatures. As the processing temperature increases, the content of zirconia in the high-temperature adhesive continuously increases, and the composition tends to form a stable composite phase mainly composed of aluminum phosphate and zirconia, which makes the composition of the high-temperature adhesive closer to that of zirconia ceramics.

  • Publication number: 20240018391
    Abstract: A preparation method for a phosphate-based high-temperature-resistant adhesive self-reinforced by in-situ growth and locking of flaky kyanite is provided, including: preparing a modified filler by using bauxite, kaolin, boric acid and boric oxide, and taking a reaction solution of diluted phosphoric acid and aluminum hydroxide powder as latex liquid, and mixing the modified filler, the latex liquid, and silicon powder to prepare the adhesive. After being treated at 700° C., kyanite grows within the adhesive. As the treatment temperature increases, the size and content of the kyanite are further increased, thereby forming a locking and reinforcing structure. After being treated at 1100° C., the bonding strength of the adhesive reaches up to about 50 MPa, and the adhesive illustrates excellent high-temperature-resistant bonding strength.
