Zusammenfassung: | In this study, the ceramic material β-eucryptite was synthesized by using solid reaction method based on utilizing the waste silica fume, calcined alumina and lithium carbonate. The pressed samples were fired at different temperatures; 800°, 1000° and 1200 °C. Phase composition, particles sizes, morphology of raw materials and fired β-eucryptite were studied. Physical properties, thermal expansion, DSC, TG, surface area, mechanical and electrical properties were also investigated for β-eucryptite. Furthermore, the effects of heat treatments on the physical, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties were also studied. The results demonstrated that the crystallization of pure β-eucryptite ceramic was crack-free, had low thermal expansion, good electrical, physical and mechanical properties obtained after firing at 1000 °C.
