1、 Preparation process of calcined alumina micro powder SAL60
The preparation of calcined alumina micro powder SAL60 usually uses industrial alumina or aluminum hydroxide as raw materials, and is made through a series of physical and chemical treatment processes. The main preparation process includes the following steps:
1. Raw material selection and pretreatment
The choice of raw materials directly affects the performance of the final product. High purity industrial alumina or aluminum hydroxide is usually used as raw materials. The raw materials need to undergo pre-treatment such as crushing and screening to ensure particle uniformity and reactivity.
2. Calcination process
Calcination is a crucial step in the preparation of SAL60. The pre treated raw materials are calcined at high temperatures (usually 1200 ℃~1600 ℃) to undergo phase transition and transform into stable α - Al ₂ O3 phase. During the calcination process, the moisture, impurities, and organic matter in the raw materials are removed, while the grain size and crystal structure are optimized.
3. Crushing and Grading
The calcined alumina block needs to be crushed into fine powder. The crushing process includes ball milling, air flow milling, etc. to ensure the uniformity of particle size. Subsequently, the micro powder was screened using a grading device to obtain a particle size distribution that meets the requirements.
4. Surface treatment
According to application requirements, SAL60 micro powder may require surface modification treatment, such as coating with silane coupling agents or organic coatings, to improve its dispersibility and bonding performance in composite materials.
5. Quality inspection and packaging
The final product needs to undergo strict quality testing, including testing of purity, particle size distribution, specific surface area, crystal structure, and other indicators. Qualified products are packaged and stored in a dry environment.
