Synthesis and Properties of Al2(WO4)3by Laser Sintering
A good finish and compact Al2(WO4)3 ceramic had been successfully and rapidly synthesized with a proper proportion of Al2O3 and WO3 by laser sintering. The microstructure observation, component and phases analysis of this ceramic were performed by a Raman spectrometer, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometer, thermal analyzer and X-ray diffractometer. The Raman spectrum revealed that the volatility of WO3 can be avoided in the laser sintering and that the raw materials can react completely under suitable processing parameters. The analysis by a X-ray diffractiometer indicated that the sample of Al2(WO4)3 with orthorhombic structure, belonging to space group Pnca, was comparatively pure but included a small quantity of AlxWO3 (x≤1) and WO3-x (x<1). The investigation by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) showed that the ceramic was composed of small crystal conglomeration in which the stoichiometric proportion of elements was almost identical. The thermal analysis reveals that the impurities in the Al2(WO4)3 ceramic was various remaining non-equilibrium phase.
