Abstract

Powder with grain size about 1 μm has been prepared from a mullite alloy (2SiO2 · 3Al2O3) containing 4.0 wt % of a ceramic, which converts the initial energy to pulsed infrared (IR) radiation. Photo-photon converters have been fabricated on the base of iron sheet of thickness 0.6 mm and the functional ceramic. It is shown that the use of the metal-ceramic photo-thermo-photon converter accelerates significantly the drying process and the energy transfer rate.
