SLIP CASTING OF MAGNESIATITANIA BODIES
Titania is known to increase the rate of diffusion and sintering in pressed magnesia-titania bodies. To meet a need for dense ceramic containers which would hold a molten chloride eutectic, methods were developed for slip casting and sintering fused magnesia containing 10 wt% titania. The procedures were based on the Los Alamos method of slip casting fused and milled magnesia using water as the vehicle. The principal variables studied were pretreatment of the titania (calcined or non-calcined); nature of the deflocculant; percentage of coarse magnesia added to the milled magnesia-titania slurry; sintering temperature. Mngnesia-titania cells and auxiliary pieces were produced which retained the molten chloride at 800 deg C for several hours. Several of the formulations resulted in a glazed body. (auth)
