Preparation,mechanical properties,and toughening mechanisms of SiCw/SiCp-reinforced zirconia-toughened alumina ceramics

Zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) ceramics with high mechanical properties were sintered by hot-pressing method using SiC particles (SiCp) and SiC whiskers (SiCw) as the reinforcing agents simultaneously. The influences of sintering temperature, SiCp, and SiCw contents on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZTA ceramics were investigated. It was found that both SiCp and SiCw could contribute to grain refinement significantly and promote the mechanical properties of the ceramics. However, the excess addition of SiCp or SiCw led to the formation of pores with large sizes and degraded the mechanical properties instead. When 13 wt% SiCp was introduced, the maximum flexural strength of 1180.0 MPa and fracture toughness of 15.9 MPa·m^1/2 were obtained, whereas the maximum flexural strength of 1314.0 MPa and fracture toughness of 14.7 MPa·m^1/2 were achieved at 20 wt% SiCw. Interestingly, the simultaneous addition of SiCp and SiCw could further improve the mechanical properties, and the highest flexural strength of 1334.0 MPa and fracture toughness of 16.0 MPa·m^1/2 were achieved at a SiCw/SiCp ratio of 16/4. The reinforcement mechanisms in the ceramics mainly included the phase transformation toughening of ZrO₂, the crack deflection and bridging of SiCp and SiCw, and the pull-out of SiCw.

Ion irradiation effect on spark plasma sintered silicon carbide ceramics with nanostructured ferritic alloy aid

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a promising material with excellent chemical and physical performance under irradiation for advanced nuclear applications. The addition of nanostructured ferritic alloy (NFA) has been proven beneficial for the densification of SiC ceramics based on our previous work. To understand their microstructural evolution and irradiation resistance, spark plasma sintered (SPSed) SiC ceramics with and without NFA aid (0 vol% NFA‐100 vol% SiC, 2.5 vol% NFA‐97.5 vol% SiC, and 5 vol% NFA‐95 vol% SiC) were exposed to 5 MeV Si⁺⁺ irradiation. The ion irradiation strongly modifies the surface morphology with isolated sand dune shaped structures, which can be explained by the Bradley‐Harper (B‐H) theory. SRIM simulation for both the pure SiC and NFA‐SiC predicts similar surface damage of ~45 dpa and peak damage of ~790 dpa at ~2.0 μm depth. For the actual samples, the SiC matrix is completely amorphous up to ~2.2 μm thickness (from the surface dune valley to the amorphous layer boundary), which is consistent with the SRIM predicted depth of ~2.3 μm. Reaction product (Fe,Cr)₃Si in the NFA‐SiC samples maintains a crystalline structure with dislocation loops. A defect rate model is applied to understand the fundamental difference in ion irradiation resistance between SiC and (Fe,Cr)₃Si.     

Toughening of Silicon Nitride Matrix Composites by the Addition of Both Silicon Carbide Whiskers and Silicon Carbide Particles

Si₃N₄ matrix composites reinforced by SiC whiskers, SiC particles, or both were fabricated using the hot-pressing technique. The mechanical properties of the composites containing various amounts of these SiC reinforcing materials and different sizes of SiC particles were investigated. Fracture toughness of the composites was significantly improved by introducing SiC whiskers and particles together, compared with that obtained by adding SiC whiskers or SiC particles alone. On increasing the size of the added SiC particles, the fracture toughness of the composites reinforced by both whiskers and particles was increased. Their fracture toughness also showed a strong dependence on the amount of SiC particles (average size 40 μm) and was a maximum at the particle content of 10 vol%. The maximum fracture toughness of these composites was 10.5 MPa·m^1/2 and the flexural strength was 550 MPa after addition of 20 vol% of SiC whiskers and 10 vol% of SiC particles having an average particle size of 40 μm. These mechanical properties were almost constant from room temperature to temperatures around 1000°C. Fracture surface observations revealed that the reinforcing mechanisms acting in these composites were crack deflection and crack branching by SiC particles and pullout of SiC whiskers.     

Optimization of microstructure and mechanical properties of oscillatory pressure sintered ZrO2–Al2O3-SiCp ceramics

Zirconia ceramic is a significant structural material, but its use under some extreme circumstances is limited by its mechanical properties. In this work, SiC particles (SiCp) were added into alumina toughened zirconia ceramics to prepare ZrO₂–Al₂O₃-SiCp ceramics with high performance by using oscillatory pressure sintering (OPS). Results showed that the best OPS temperature of 1600 °C was obtained, and the optimal SiCp particle size and content were 200 nm and 10 vol% respectively. Under these conditions, the specimen exhibited higher mechanical properties including Vickers hardness of 15.43 GPa, bending strength of 1162 MPa and fracture toughness of 6.36 MPa m^1/2. Moreover, it was found that the atomic matching between ZrO₂/SiCp, Al₂O₃/SiCp, and ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ was much higher, showing the coherent interface relationship. Therefore, it was favorable for enhanced mechanical properties of as-prepared ZrO₂–Al₂O₃-SiCp ceramics.     

Fabrication and Characterization of ZrB2-Based Ceramic Using Synthesized ZrB2–LaB6 Powder

ZrB₂–LaB₆ powder was obtained by reactive synthesis using ZrO₂, La₂O₃, B₄C, and carbon powders. Then ZrB₂–20 vol% SiC–10 vol% LaB₆ (ZSL) ceramics were prepared from commercially available SiC and the synthesized ZrB₂–LaB₆ powder via hot pressing at 2000°C. The phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties were characterized. Results showed that both LaB₆ and SiC were uniformly distributed in the ZrB₂ matrix. The hardness and bending strength of ZSL were 17.06±0.52 GPa and 505.8±17.9 MPa, respectively. Fracture toughness was 5.7±0.39 MPa·m^1/2, which is significantly higher than that reported for ZrB₂–20 vol% SiC ceramics, due to enhanced crack deflection and crack bridging near SiC particles.
