The Influence of Technological Regimes of Synthesizing a Solar Furnace on the Phase Composition of TiO2-CuO Cermets and the Optical Properties of Coatings on Their Basis

Аннотация

We present the results of studying the effect of technological synthesis regimes of a solar furnace using the method of a partial metal reduction of one of the oxides on the phase formation of cermet composite materials of the TiO₂-CuO system. It has been established that the phase composition of the synthesized cermet composite materials depends on the carbon concentration, melting temperature and cooling rate. The dependence of the spectral-optical properties of selectively absorbing coatings on the production technology and properties of synthesized composite materials has been presented. It has been found that the coatings fabricated by melting in air with overheating at a melt cooling rate of about 105–106°C/s have the highest values of the integral absorption coefficient, α_s = 91.0–94.5%.
