Microstructure and Strength of Al2O3/Al2O3 Joints Bonded with ZnO-Al2O3-B2O3-SiO2 Glass-Ceramic

ZnO-Al2O3-B2O3-SiO2 （ZABS） glass powder was used as interlayer to join alumina ceramics. The effect of joining temperature on the microstructure and strength of joints was investigated. The results showed that the ZABS glass can react with alumina substrate to form a layer of ZnAl2O4 at Al2O3/glass interface. Bending test exhibited that low joining temperature （1150℃） led to low joint strength due to the formation of pores in the interlayer, originated by high viscosity of the glass. High joining temperature （1250 ℃） also resulted in low joint strength, because of large CTE （coefficient of thermal expansion） mismatch between amorphous interlayer and alumina substrate. Therefore, only when the joining temperature was appropriate （1200℃）, defect-free interface and high joint strength can be obtained. The optimum joint strength reached 285 MPa, which was the same as the base material strength.     

Creep behaviour of Si3N4/Y2O3/Al2O3/AIN alloys

The compression creep behaviour of pressureless sintered Y₂O₃/Al₂O₃/AIN-doped Si₃N₄ was studied between 1473 and 1673 K, under stresses ranging from 100–300 MPa. Strain rate versus stress and temperature analysis give a stress exponent n1 and an activation energy Q=860 kJ mol^–1. Microstructural change was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The observed strain whorls, the stress exponent and the activation energy are indicative of a solution-diffusion-precipitation accommodated grain-boundary sliding where the diffusion through the glass is rate controlling.

Slip casting of Al2O3 and Al2O3/ZrO2 composites

Al₂O₃ and Al₂O₃/ZrO₂ composites have been fabricated by slip casting from aqueous suspensions. The physical and structural characteristics of the starting powders, composition of the suspensions, casting behaviour, microstructure of the green and fired bodies and the mechanical properties of the products were investigated. The addition of ZrO₂ to Al₂O₃ leads to a significant increase in fracture toughness when ZrO₂ particles are retained in the tetragonal form (transformation-toughening mechanism) but when microcracking (due to the spontaneous transformation of ZrO₂ from the tetragonal phase to the monoclinic one) is dominant, an excellent toughness value is accompanied by a drastic drop in strength and hardness.     

Optical properties of the Al2O3/SiO2 and Al2O3/HfO2/SiO2 antireflective coatings

Investigations of bilayer and trilayer Al₂O₃/SiO₂ and Al₂O₃/HfO₂/SiO₂ antireflective coatings are presented in this paper. The oxide films were deposited on a heated quartz glass by e-gun evaporation in a vacuum of 5 × 10^?3 [Pa] in the presence of oxygen. Depositions were performed at three different temperatures of the substrates: 100 °C, 200 °C and 300 °C. The coatings were deposited onto optical quartz glass (Corning HPFS). The thickness and deposition rate were controlled with Inficon XTC/2 thickness measuring system. Deposition rate was equal to 0.6 nm/s for Al₂O₃, 0.6 nm ? 0.8 nm/s for HfO₂ and 0.6 nm/s for SiO₂. Simulations leading to optimization of the thin film thickness and the experimental results of optical measurements, which were carried out during and after the deposition process, have been presented. The optical thickness values, obtained from the measurements performed during the deposition process were as follows: 78 nm/78 nm for Al₂O₃/SiO₂ and 78 nm/156 nm/78 nm for Al₂O₃/HfO₂/SiO₂. The results were then checked by ellipsometric technique. Reflectance of the films depended on the substrate temperature during the deposition process. Starting from 240 nm to the beginning of visible region, the average reflectance of the trilayer system was below 1 % and for the bilayer, minima of the reflectance were equal to 1.6 %, 1.15 % and 0.8 % for deposition temperatures of 100 °C, 200 °C and 300 °C, respectively.     

Some phase relationships within the system Na2O/B2O3/Nb2O5

Phase behaviour over regions of the ternary system Na₂O/B₂O₃/Nb₂O₅ has been explored.Liquidus temperatures and the stability regions of primary phases have been determined over selected composition ranges by high temperature microscopy. Crystallisation processes in melts and corresponding glasses have been followed using both conventional methods of thermal analysis and newly developed micro techniques combined with hot stage microscopy.An electron microscope has been employed to follow changes in the microstructure of quenched glasses after controlled heat treatments.It has been shown that the system contains a liquid immiscibility gap, and some attention is given in the discussions to the influence that can be assigned to cations in determining the extent of such gaps and general structural relationships in borate/oxide systems.     

Structural order in Ba(Zn1/3Ta2/3)O3, Ba(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 and Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 microwave dielectric ceramics

The process and nature of structural ordering and the factors that influence them have been investigated in the microwave dielectric perovskites, barium zinc tantalate (BZT), barium zinc niobate (BZN), and barium magnesium tantalate (BMT), sintered at various temperatures. The samples were characterized mainly by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that short-range 1 : 1 B-site order features strongly in the early stages of ordering in BZT and BZN, but it is extremely rare in BMT, for which most grains commence with 1 : 2 order. As sintering progresses, 1 : 1 order is replaced by 1 : 2 long-range order in BZT and by disorder in BZN. Orientational variants of the ordered domains within grains occur in similar numbers when order is fine-scale, but their distribution is less homogeneous in well-ordered samples. Local inhomogeneities in the degree of order within grains, which will affect dielectric properties, correlate with both residual non-stoichiometry and the presence of dislocations. Incompletely reacted starting materials which may persist to late stages of sintering can also strongly influence order. Anomalously large ordered domains at grain boundaries are attributed to grain-boundary migration accompanied by enhanced diffusion. The results indicate that with starting materials that are well-mixed and homogeneous at the nanoscale, tailoring of physical properties should be possible by controlling the type and degree of order through chemical composition.

Preparation and Properties of Al2O3-doping LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 Cathode Materials

LiNi_1/3Co_1/3-xMn_1/3O₂ doped with Al₂O₃ (x = 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%) was synthesized by co-precipitation of Ni, Co, and Mn acetates. The influence of Al₂O₃ doping on structure and electrochemical performances of LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy, charge/discharge tester, and electrochemical workstation. It was found that the materials achieved the best electrochemical properties when x was 5%. The first discharge capacity was 156.3 mAh · g^?1(0.1 C, 2.0–4.8 V), which was close to the un-doped sample (156.8 mAh · g^?1). After 20 cycles, the capacity retention ratios at the C-ratios of 0.1C, 0.2C, and 0.5 C were 96.1%, 94.9%, and 89.4%, respectively, while the capacity retention ratios of the un-doped samples were only 92.6% (0.1 C), 91.8% (0.2 C), and 88.7% (0.5C). The alternating current impedance shows that the charge transfer in the electrode interface was the easiest when x was 5%.
