This study proposes a new method to prepare metal-ceramic composites from magnetically selected iron ore using microwave heating. By introducing different microwave susceptors, the ratio of metallic and ceramic phases can be easily controlled, and the microstructure and reaction mechanisms were investigated in detail.
This study provides a novel method to prepare metal-ceramic composites from magnetically selected iron ore using microwave heating. By introducing three different microwave susceptors (activated carbon, SiC, and a mixture of activated carbon and SiC) during the microwave process, effective control of the ratio of metallic and ceramic phases was achieved easily. The effects of the three susceptors on the microstructure of the metal-ceramics and the related reaction mechanisms were also investigated in detail. The results show that the metal phase (Fe) and ceramic phase (Fe2SiO4, FeAl2O4) can be maintained, but the metal phase to ceramic phase changed significantly. In particular, the microstructures appeared as well-distributed nanosheet structures with diameters of ~400 nm and thicknesses of ~20 nm when SiC was used as the microwave susceptor.
