Abstract:
The effects of different Al

3 doping levels (mass percent: 5%, 10% and 20%, respectively) on the CMAS (CaO-MgO-Al

2O
7 ceramic materials at 1300 ℃ for 10 h were systematically investigated. The corrosion depth, phase composition of corrosion products, and the influence of Al
2O
3 doping on the thermal expansion coefficient were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal dilatometry. The results showed that, with increasing Al
2O
3 content, the thickness of the CMAS-induced reaction layer gradually decreased. The doping of Al
2O
3 promoted the formation of a dense apatite phase (Ca

4) under high-temperature conditions. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mapping of cross-sectional areas confirmed that these reaction products effectively inhibited the penetration of molten CMAS into the ceramic interior, significantly enhancing the corrosion resistance of the material.
