The results show that the glass body produced in the ceramic roller produces new crystal phases due to subsequent crystallization, such as anorthite, albite, garnet and spinel. The change of vitrification and crystallization leads to the change of physical and mechanical properties of the material, which leads to the quenching crack of the roll after a period of use.
To sum up, the corrosion and fracture process of rollers can be summarized as follows:
Inhale corrosive elements from the outside (by contact or gas phase exchange);
Decomposition of existing phases (except ZrO2);
The formation of glass phase becomes the carrier of corrosive elements invading the roll bar;
Vitreous crystallization;
The pores at the interface between the corrosion layer and the ceramic material body increase;
The increase and propagation of microcracks and the different thermo-mechanical properties of crystalline phases lead to quenching cracks during cooling.
