Sintering behavior, microstructure and properties of TiC-FeCr hard alloy

TiC based cermets were produced with FeCr, as a binder, by conventional P/M （powder metallurgy） to near 〉97% of the theoretical density. Sintering temperature significantly affects the mechanical properties of the composite. The sintering temperature of 〉1360℃ caused severe chemical reaction between TiC particles and the binder phase. In the TiC-FeCr cermets, the mechanical properties did not vary linearly with the carbide content. Optimum mechanical properties were found in the composite containing 57wt% TiC reinforcement, when sintered at 1360℃ for 1 h. Use of carbon as an additive enhanced the mechanical properties of the composites. Cermets containing carbon as an additive with 49wt% TiC exhibited attractive mechanical properties. The microstructure of the developed composite contained less or no debonding, representing good wettabifity of the binder with TiC particles. Homogeneous distribution of the TiC particles ensured the presence of isotropic mechanical properties and homogeneous distribution of stresses in the composite. Preliminary experiments for evaluation of the oxidation resistance of FeCr bonded TiC cermets indicate that they are more resistant than WC-Co hardmetals.     

The properties of the sintered copper powder liner

In order to study the properties of sintered copper powder shaped charge liner, the copper powder, whose particle size was below 20 μm, was chosen as the main material. The mixed powders were directly pressed into the desired shape of the shaped charge liner by the top direct-pressure way. The microscopic morphology of the spinning shaped charge liner, the sintered and non-sintered powder liners, and the particle properties of the copper powder were studied with scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results showed that the irregular copper powder could get together effectively and sintering could improve the compactness of the powder liner effectively. The wall thickness and density of the non-sintered and sintered liner were also tested, and it shows that sintering causes the wall thickness thinned and the density improved. The penetration depths of non-sintered powder liner, sintered powder liner and the spinning copper plate liner were tested with different standoff respectively, showing that the penetration properties of sintered powder liner are well.     

Fabrication and plasma arc thermal shock resistance of HfB2-based ultra high temperature ceramics

Two hafnium diboride based ceramic matrix composites containing 20% (volume fraction) SiC particle and with or without AlN as sintering additives were fabricated by hot-pressed sintering. The mechanical properties and microstructures of these two composites were tested and the thermal shock resistances were evaluated by plasma arc heater. The results indicate that the composite with AlN as sintering additive has a denser and finer microstructure than composite without sintering additive, and the mechanical properties, thermal shock resistance of the composite with AlN as sintering additive are also higher than those of the composite without AlN. Microstructure analysis on the cross-section of two composites after thermal shock tests indicates that a compact oxidation scale contains HfO₂ and Al₂O₃ liquid phase is found on the surface of composite with AlN, which could fill the voids and cracks of surface and improve the thermal shock resistance of composite.

Preparation and characterization of copper-nickel bulk nanocrystals

Copper-nickel nanoparticle was directly prepared by flow-levitation method(FL) and sintered by vacuum sintering of powder(VSP) method. Several characterizations, such as transmission electron microscopy(TEM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), differential thermal analysis(DTA), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) were used to investigate the prepared nanostructures. The results of the study show that FL method could prepare high purity Cu-Ni nanocrystals of uniform spheres with size distribution between 20 and 90 nm.

When the sintering temperature arrives at 1 000 ℃ the relative density of bulk nanocrystals can reach 97.86 percent. In this paper, the variation tendency of porosity, phase and particles size of bulk along with the changing of sintering temperature have been studied.
