In this paper a foam ceramic was prepared from clay, silicon carbide, ferric oxide, feldspar and other raw materials. The content of ferric oxide and the powder size of silicon carbide influenced the sinter behavior of the foam ceramics. The ferric oxide and feldspar are favorable to form of glass phase in the ceramics. The foam ceramics with the rate of moisture absorption is less than 0.05%, the bulk density is 0.3~0.9g/cm3, and compressive strength is over than 2MPa.

The CBN grinding wheels with different porosity, which used 100/120 CBN grind grain and 15μm glass powder as main starting materials, pore creating material as auxiliary material, were prepared by conventional sintering technology; Used GCr15 bearing steel which quenching hardness was 60HRC as ground materials, investigated the effect of porosity of CBN wheel on its cutting ability. In this paper , the metal removal rate was measured by electronic analytical balance, surface roughness of GCr15 was analyzed used LEXT laser scanning confocal microscope and the surface topography of grinding face was observed used scanning electron microscope. The investigated results showed that the metal removal rate acutely increasing with the porosity of wheels increasing in same loading weight, it reached 0.445g/min with 41% porosity in 3500g loading weight, at the same time, the difference of surface roughness caused by variation of porosity of CBN grinding wheel was slight, it did not severely lower machining precision of workpiece.

A foam ceramic was prepared using clay, SiC, Fe2O3, feldspar and other raw materials as main starting material in a furnace at 1140~1170oC for 15~25min. Effects of silicon carbide’s content and powder size on the bulk density, moisture absorption rate and compressive strength were studied, and the fracture surface morphology was observed and analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The results show that SiC powder reacted with Fe2O3, Fe3O4, CO2, iron, SiO2 and form foam. The sintering behavior and properties of the foam ceramics are influenced by the content and particle size of SiC, when the content of SiC is as high as 8%, and the mass ratio of grain size is 1:1, the foam ceramics with the rate of moisture absorption is 0.05%, the bulk density is 0.32g/cm3, and compressive strength is than 2.2MPa.

In this paper, cordierite-mullite multiphase ceramics material was prepared using cordierite powder, mullite particles, fused silica, magnesia and alumina as main starting material. Effects of addition of 2%~10% SiC on the thermal expansion, flexural strength and thermal shock resistance were studied, and the fracture surface morphology was observed with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results showed that the multiphase ceramics material’s thermal expansion coefficient and flexural strength had little change. The thermal shock resistance of cordierite-mullite multiphase ceramics material varied as increasing-decreasing with the increase of SiC content, when the content of SiC was as high as 4%, the highest conservation rate of the flexural strength after 1100°C~water(3 times) was 72.08%, and the thermal shock resistance of cordierite-mullite multiphase ceramics material was superior.
