Microstructure and magnetic properties of Co/Al2O3 nanocomposite powders

Nanocomposite powders of magnetic cobalt nanoparticles dispersed by nonmagnetic Al₂O₃ particles have been prepared by planetary ball milling. Ball milling of the CoO and Al mixture powder after a certain milling duration reduces CoO to (fcc and hcp) Co completely and oxidizes Al to -Al₂O₃ simultaneously. The average grain sizes of the nanocomposite powders are 19 nm for Co and 28 nm for -Al₂O₃ after the completion of the reduction reaction. By direct ball milling of the mixture of Co and Al₂O₃, the allotropic phase transformation of Co was observed and the average grain size of Co is reduced to 5 nm. For both the samples of the mechanochemical series and the direct milling series, the saturation magnetizations of the nanocomposite powders decrease with decreasing average grain size of Co. This may be due to the enhancement of the interface effects and the increase of the superparamagnetic particles with decreasing Co grain size. The coercivities of the Co/Al₂O₃ nanocomposite powders increase up to 380 Oe. The increasing grain boundaries with decreasing Co grain size result in the domain wall pinning which predicts the coercivity enhancement. In addition to the grain size effects, the reduction of the particle size toward the size region of single domain also contributes to the increase of coercivity.

In-situ TiB2-Al2O3 formed composite coatings by atmospheric plasma spraying: Influence of process parameters and in-flight particle characteristics

In the present study, mechanically alloyed Al-12Si, B₂O₃ and TiO₂ powder was deposited onto an aluminum substrate using atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). The effects of mechanical alloying (MA) time and plasma parameters (arc current and primary/secondary/carrier gas flow rate) on in-situ reaction intensity and in-flight particle characteristics (temperature and velocity) have been investigated. It has been observed that MA time has a remarkable effect on powder morphology and relative amount of in-situ formed TiB₂ and γ-Al₂O₃. In-flight particle diagnostic measurements demonstrate that among the plasma parameters arc current has the strongest effect on in-flight particle velocity and temperature. Also, results indicate that in-flight particle velocity is more dominant than temperature on the relative amount of in-situ formed phases.

Synthesis behavior of nanocrystalline Al-Al2O3 composite during low time mechanical milling process

In this work, four different volume fractions of Al₂O₃ (10, 20, 30 and 40 vol.%) were mixed with the fine Al powder and the powder blends were milled for 5 h. Scanning electron microscopy analysis, particle size analysis and bulk density measurements were used to investigate the morphological changes and achieving the steady state conditions. The results showed that increasing the Al₂O₃ content can provide the steady state particle size in 5 h milling process. It was found that increasing the volume fraction of Al₂O₃ leads to increasing the uniformity of Al₂O₃. Standard deviations of microhardness measurements confirmed this result. The XRD pattern and XRF investigations depicted that increasing the Al₂O₃ content causes an increase in the crystal defects, micro-strain and Fe contamination during 5 h milling process of nanocrystalline composite powders while the grain size is decreased. To investigate the effect of milling time, Al-30 vol.% Al₂O₃ (which achieved steady state during 5 h milling process) was milled for 1-4 h. The results depicted that the milling time lower than 5 h, do not achieve to steady state conditions.     

Microstructure and tribological behavior of suspension plasma sprayed Al2O3 and Al2O3-YSZ composite coatings

Several alumina and alumina-zirconia composite coatings were manufactured by suspension plasma spraying (SPS), implementing different operating conditions in order to achieve dense and cohesive structures. Temperatures and velocities of the in flight particles were measured with a commercial diagnostic system (Accuraspray®) at the spray distance as a function of the plasma operating parameters. Temperatures around 2000 °C and velocities as high as 450 m/s were detected. Hence, coatings with high amount of α-alumina phase were produced. The microstructure evolution according to the spray parameters was studied as well as the final tribological properties showing efficient wear resistance.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Al2O3-Cr2O3 composite coatings produced by atmospheric plasma spraying

Al₂O₃, Al₂O₃-Cr₂O₃ and Cr₂O₃ coatings were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying. Phase composition of powders and as-sprayed coatings was determined by X-ray diffraction. Electron probe microanalyzer was employed to investigate the polished and fractured surface morphologies of the coatings. Mechanical properties including microhardness, fracture toughness and bending strength were evaluated. The results indicate that the addition of Cr₂O₃ is conducive to the stabilization of α-Al₂O₃. Compared with the pure Al₂O₃ and Cr₂O₃ coatings, Al₂O₃-Cr₂O₃ composite coatings show lower porosities and denser structures. Heterogeneous nucleation of α-Al₂O₃ occurs over the isostructural Cr₂O₃ lamellae and partial solid solution of Al₂O₃ and Cr₂O₃ might be occurring as well. Furthermore, grain refining and solid solution strengthening facilitate the mechanical property enhancement of Al₂O₃-Cr₂O₃ composite coatings.     

Estimate of the Hall-Petch and Orowan effects in the nanocrystalline Cu with Al2O3 dispersoid

Nanocrystalline (nc) Cu materials with Al₂O₃ dispersoid (Cu-4 vol. % Al₂O₃) were successfully produced by a simple cryo-milling at 210 K with a mixture of Cu₂O, Al, and Cu ingredient powders, followed by hot pressing at 1123 K. The results of microstructural analysis showed that the hot pressed material was comprised of a mixture of Cu matrix (25.1 nm) with a homogeneous size distribution of the Al₂O₃ dispersoid (4 nm in radius). Grain size of Cu was measured by XRD (Scherrer's formula); dispersoid size of Al₂O₃ was confirmed by STEM-EDS (Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy). Result of micro hardness tests indicated that the hot pressed materials have a significantly high hardness (265 ± 8, VHN; 2.6 GPa, SI units) at room temperature. Two strengthening mechanisms are considered for high hardness: strengthening by grain refinement and dispersion hardening. An estimate of the individual strengthening effect to total strength of the material at room temperature, based on the Hall-Petch and Orowan equations, is presented.     

Effect of sintering on microstructure and mechanical properties of nano-TiO2 dispersed Al65Cu20Ti15 amorphous/nanocrystalline matrix composite

Mechanically alloyed Al₆₅Cu₂₀Ti₁₅ amorphous alloy powder with or without 10 wt% nano-TiO₂ dispersion was consolidated by isothermal spark plasma sintering in the range 200–500 °C with pressure up to 50 MPa. Selected samples were separately cold compacted with 50 MPa pressure and sintered at 500 °C using controlled atmosphere resistance and microwave heating furnaces. Phase and microstructural evolution at appropriate stages of mechanical alloying/blending and sintering was monitored by X-ray diffraction and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Measurement and comparison of relevant properties (density/porosity, microhardness and yield strength) of the sintered compacts suggest that spark plasma sintering is the most appropriate technique for developing nano-TiO₂ dispersed amorphous/nanocrystalline Al₆₅Cu₂₀Ti₁₅ matrix composite for structural application.     

Bulk WC-Al2O3 composites prepared by spark plasma sintering

WC and WC-Al₂O₃ materials without metallic binder addition were densified by spark plasma sintering in the range of 1800-1900 °C. The densification behavior, phase constitution, microstructure and mechanical properties of pure WC and WC-Al₂O₃ composite were investigated. The addition of Al₂O₃ facilitates sintering and increases the fracture toughness of the composites to a certain extent. An interesting phenomenon is found that a proper content of Al₂O₃ additive helps to limit the formation of W₂C phase in sintered WC materials. The pure WC specimen possesses a hardness (HV₁₀) of 25.71 GPa, fracture toughness of 4.54 MPa·m^1/2, and transverse fracture strength of 862 MPa, while those of WC-6.8 vol.% Al₂O₃ composites are 24.48 GPa, 6.01 MPa·m^1/2, and 1245 MPa respectively. The higher fracture toughness and transverse fracture strength of WC-6.8 vol.% Al₂O₃ are thought to result from the reduction of W₂C phase, the crack-bridging by Al₂O₃ particles and the local change in fracture mode from intergranular to transgranular.

Improvement in hydrogen sorption properties of Mg by reactive mechanical grinding with Cr2O3, Al2O3 and CeO2

We tried to improve the hydrogen sorption properties of Mg by mechanical grinding under H₂ (reactive mechanical grinding) with oxides Cr₂O₃, Al₂O₃ and CeO₂. The hydriding rates of Mg are reportedly controlled by the diffusion of hydrogen through a growing Mg hydride layer. The added oxides can help pulverization of Mg during mechanical grinding. A part of Mg is transformed into MgH₂ during reactive mechanical grinding. The Mg+10wt.%Cr₂O₃ powder has the largest transformed fraction 0.215, followed in order by Mg+10wt.%CeO₂ and Mg+10wt.%Al₂O₃. The Mg+10wt.%Cr₂O₃ powder has the largest hydriding rates at the first and fifth hydriding cycle, followed in order by Mg+10wt.%Al₂O₃ and Mg+10wt.%CeO₂. Mg+10wt.%Cr₂O₃ absorbs 5.87wt.% H at 573 K, 11 bar H₂ during 60 min at the first cycle. The Mg+10wt.%Cr₂O₃ powder has the largest dehydriding rates at the first and fifth dehydriding cycle, followed by Mg+10wt.%CeO₂ and Mg+10wt.%Al₂O₃. It desorbs 4.44 wt.% H at 573 K, 0.5 bar H₂ during 60 min at the first cycle. All the samples absorb and desorb less hydrogen at the fifth cycle than at the first cycle. It is considered that this results from the agglomeration of the particles during hydriding–dehydriding cycling. The average particle sizes of the as-milled and cycled powders increase in the order of Mg+10wt.%Cr₂O₃, Mg+10wt.%Al₂O₃ and Mg+10wt.%CeO₂. The quantities of hydrogen absorbed or desorbed for 1 h for the first and fifth cycles decrease in the order of Mg+10wt.%Cr₂O₃, Mg+10wt.%Al₂O₃ and Mg+10wt.%CeO₂. The quantities of absorbed or desorbed hydrogen increase as the average particle sizes decrease. As the particle size decreases, the diffusion distance shortens. This leads to the larger hydriding and dehydriding rates. The Cr₂O₃ in the Mg+10wt.%Cr₂O₃ powder is reduced after hydriding–dehydriding cycling. The much larger chemical affinity of Mg than Cr for oxygen leads to a reduction of Cr₂O₃ after cycling.
