Abstract: CA6 materials have been synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction using CaCO3 as calcium source combined with Al(OH)3, uf-Al2O3 and industrial Al2O3 as alumina sources. Effects of alumina sources on phase composition, microstructure and properties of CA6 materials were studied. The results show that CA6 forms at 1 300 ℃ using Al(OH)3 and uf-Al2O3 as alumina sources. Solid state reaction temperature of samples finishes at 1 500 ℃. Further increasing of firing temperature has no effect on the phase composition. The microstructure of CA6 produced by the reaction is changed with different alumina sources. When Al(OH)3 is used as the alumia source, the microstructure of CA6 is mostly platy. However, as used industrial Al2O3 as the alumia source, the microstructure of CA6 is mostly plate-like and granular, but the microstructure of CA6 is mostly equiaxed grains by using uf-Al2O3 as precursor. When used uf-Al2O3 as the source, the compressive strength and bulk density of the materials are the highest, and the porosity is the lowest. As used Al(OH)3 as alumina source, the compressive strength and bulk density of the materials are the lowest, and the porosity is the highest.
