Abstract

A ceramic layer was produced on a steel pipe inner surface by a centrifugal thermite process. A powdery mixture of ferric oxide and aluminum was used with the glass whose major compositions were SiO2, Na2O, CaO, and MgO. The ceramic layer consisted of the crystalline structures of corundum (a-Al2O3) and hercynite (FeAl2O4). The amorphous phases of Ca3Al2(SiO4) 3, MgFeAlO4 and NaAlSiO4 in the ceramic layer were found to be responsible for a significant improvement of the dense structure. The glass addition increased the density of the ceramic layer from 2.9 g/cm3 to 3.6 g/cm3 and the hardness from 1,450 to 1,800 Hv.
