Features of Synthesis of Magnesium Praseodymium Hexaaluminate PrMgAl11O19 with a Magnetoplumbite Structure
摘要
RE magnesium hexaaluminates with magnetoplumbite structure are considered as potential candidates for thermal barrier coatings. However, the synthesis of single-phase samples is associated with certain difficulties. In this work, the features of the preparation of PrMgAl11O19 by reverse precipitation and citrate sol-gel synthesis are compared. Based on the results of thermal analysis of precursors, stepwise annealing of the samples has been carried out, followed by X-ray diffraction studies of the product. It is shown that the optimal condition for producing single-phase hexaaluminate PrMgAl11O19 is long-term annealing of tableted precursors obtained by the sol-gel method at a temperature of 1600°C. Thermodynamic assessment of possible reactions of praseodymium magnesium hexaaluminate formation from oxides confirmed the decomposition of PrMgAl11O19 at temperatures above 1700°C.
