マグネシアセラミック（MgO）

マグネシアセラミック（MgO）

What is Magnesia (MgO) Ceramic?
Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a widely used compound, primarily derived from magnesite (approximately 93%), with a smaller portion obtained from brine and deep salt deposits (around 7%). The production process typically involves calcination to form periclase, followed by electric arc furnace melting. The resulting material is then selectively crushed and ground to the required particle size, and can be further processed into products of various shapes and pore structures as needed.
MgO can be classified into three types based on raw materials and production methods. Among them, FM (fused magnesia) and DBM (dead burned magnesia) are the most commonly used types in the production of high-temperature ceramic components, such as insulation parts, crucibles, and furnace linings.

MgO ceramics combine the characteristics of traditional refractory materials with those of advanced ceramics. They offer resistance to alkali metal corrosion and maintain chemical and radiation stability, which makes them suitable for use in nuclear energy and high-temperature processes in metallurgy. The theoretical maximum working temperature is up to 2200°C, with continuous use in the range of 1600–1800°C. However, MgO ceramics have some limitations, including relatively low thermal shock resistance and high chemical reactivity. They tend to react with oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor, and their application under vacuum requires strict control of pressure and the selection of inert gases.

Ingredient Mixing and Modifications:
During preparation, the composition of MgO is carefully adjusted. To improve sintering, slightly increase grain size, and reduce the tendency of hydration, small amounts of additives such as TiO₂, Al₂O₃, or V₂O₃ can be added.

High-Purity MgO Processing:
For applications requiring high-purity MgO ceramics, additives cannot be used. Instead, an activated sintering method is applied:

  1. Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) is calcined at a suitable temperature to create active MgO with many lattice defects.
  2. This active MgO is then sintered to produce high-performance magnesium oxide ceramics.

This method ensures excellent purity and performance, meeting the needs of demanding applications.

Common Types of Magnesium Oxide Ceramic Materials:


Magnesia MgO Ceramic

Magnesium Aluminate Spinel

Porous Magnesia Ceramics

Magnesium aluminate spinel ceramic, with the chemical formula MgAl₂O₄, is an advanced ceramic material widely used for crucibles. Compared to magnesia (MgO) ceramics, it is co-sintered with 50%-70% Al₂O₃ and magnesium oxide, resulting in a dense and vitrified structure. This composition provides higher thermal shock resistance, making it particularly suitable for melting magnesium alloys and other highly reactive alloys.

In the past, iron-based crucibles, such as those made from carbon steel or stainless steel, were commonly used for casting magnesium alloys. However, these materials are highly susceptible to corrosion by molten metals and fluxes, leading to short service life. Furthermore, the iron content in the crucibles can leach into the molten alloy, causing contamination.Graphite crucibles, although offering high thermal conductivity, have low mechanical strength and are prone to cracking under uneven heating conditions.

Magnesium alloys pose unique challenges due to their high vapor pressure (e.g., 1037 Pa at 727°C). Molten magnesium and its vapors easily penetrate porous ceramic materials, reacting with them and generating stresses that cause material degradation. This results in structural damage, material peeling, and contamination of the molten alloy.


Superior Properties of Magnesium Aluminate Spinel CeramicsMagnesium alloys exhibit high chemical reactivity and can react with traditional ceramic materials such as Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, SiC, and SiO₂. Additionally, during melting and refining, magnesium easily reacts with oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor, leading to oxidation losses and residual by-products. These impurities can affect the quality and performance of magnesium alloy products. Magnesium aluminate spinel ceramic (MgAl₂O₄) addresses these problems effectively. Its dense microstructure and superior oxidation resistance prevent the infiltration of molten magnesium and vapors. The addition of Al₂O₃ enhances densification during sintering, further improving its structural integrity. As a result, this material is the preferred choice for processing high-purity iron and its alloys, as well as nickel, uranium, thorium, zinc, tin, aluminum, and their alloys.

Porous ceramics are materials formed by sintering magnesium oxide at high temperatures, resulting in a structure with numerous internal pores. Porous magnesia ceramics are produced using high-purity magnesium oxide with a magnesium content exceeding 95%. In contrast, non-porous or dense magnesium oxide ceramics (porosity < 0.1%) typically require the addition of other components, and their magnesia content usually ranges between 60–80%.
Based on pore size, porous magnesia ceramics can be classified into micropores and macropores. Micropores are essential for adsorption and purification processes involving gases or liquids, including catalytic purification. Macropores, on the other hand, play a critical role in filter cleaning systems, thermal insulation, and biomedical applications.
