Hot corrosion behavior of TiO2 doped,Yb2O3 stabilized zirconia exposed to V2O5 + Na2SO4 molten salt at 700–1000 °C

3.5 mol% Yb₂O₃ stabilized zirconia (YbSZ) doped with 10 mol% TiO₂ (Ti-YbSZ) was produced, and its hot corrosion behavior exposed to Na₂SO₄ + V₂O₅ molten salt was investigated. The as-fabricated ceramic mainly consists of metastable tetragonal (t′) phase. When exposed to the molten salt at 700 °C, 800 °C, 900 °C and 1000 °C for 2 h and 10 h, YbVO₄ and m-ZrO₂ formed as corrosion products due to chemical reactions between the ceramics and the salt. Ti⁴⁺ in Ti-YbSZ solid solution keeps stable during the hot corrosion tests, which acts as a stabilizer for ZrO₂, preventing total decomposition of the t′ phase. After the hot corrosion tests, Ti-YbSZ has an apparently lower m phase content than Y₂O₃ doped Zirconia and YbSZ, indicative of better corrosion resistance. The hot corrosion mechanism of Ti-YbSZ is proposed based on Lewis acid-base rule, phase diagrams and thermodynamics.     

Synthesis and characterization of MgAl2O4–ZrO2 composites

Different types of dense 5–97% ZrO₂–MgAl₂O₄ composites have been prepared using a MgAl₂O₄ spinel obtained by calcining a stoichiometric mixture of aluminium tri-hydroxide and caustic MgO at 1300 °C for 1 h, and a commercial yttria partially stabilized zirconia (YPSZ) powder as starting raw materials by sintering at various temperatures ranging from 1500 to 1650 °C for 2 h. The characteristics of the MgAl₂O₄ spinel, the YPSZ powder and the various sintered products were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BET surface area, particle size analysis, Archimedes principle, and Vickers indentation method. Characterization results revealed that the YPSZ addition increases the sintering ability, fracture toughness and hardness of MgAl₂O₄ spinel, whereas, the MgAl₂O₄ spinel hampered the sintering ability of YPSZ when sintered at elevated temperatures. A 20-wt.% YPSZ was found to be sufficient to increase the hardness and fracture toughness of MgAl₂O₄ spinel from 406 to 1314 Hv and 2.5 to 3.45 MPa m^1/2, respectively, when sintered at 1600 °C for 2 h.     

Study of AC electrical properties of V2O5–P2O5–B2O3–Dy2O3 glasses

The AC conductivity of glass samples of composition 60V₂O₅–5P₂O₅–(35−x)B₂O₃–xDy₂O₃, 0.4≤x≤1.2 has been analyzed. The samples were prepared by the usual melt-quench technique. The prepared compounds were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermo gravimetric–differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The activation energies were evaluated using glass transition temperature (T_g) and peak temperature of crystallization (T_c) from TG/DTA. The dependence of activation energy on composition was discussed. The electrical conductance and capacitance were measured over a frequency range of 20 Hz to 1 MHz and a temperature range of 303–473 K; these reveal semiconducting features based predominantly on an ionic mechanism. The dielectric and complex-impedance response of the sample is discussed. The relaxation time was found to increase with increasing temperature. Jonscher's universal power law is applied to discuss the conductivity. The electrode polarization was found to be negligible and confirmed from electrical modulus.     

The influence of SrSO4 on the tribological properties of NiCr–Al2O3 cermet at elevated temperatures

The tribological properties of NiCr–40 wt%Al₂O₃ (NC40A) cermet-based self-lubricating composites containing 10 wt%–30 wt% SrSO₄ against alumina ball were investigated at elevated temperatures. The results indicated that the friction coefficients and wear rates were significantly reduced by adding different amounts of SrSO₄ above 200 °C. NC40A–10SrSO₄ composite exhibited satisfactory tribological properties above 200 °C due to the formation of synergistic lubricating films SrAl₄O₇ and NiCr₂O₄ on the contact surface, while low friction coefficient and wear rate of NC40A–30SrSO₄ composite at 400 °C were attributed to the synergistic lubricating effect of Sr₄Al₂O₇, SrAl₂O₄ and NiCr₂O₄.     

Cr2O3 doping in ZnO–0.5 mol% V2O5 varistor ceramics

The effects of the amount of Cr₂O₃ (0.5–4 mol%) on the microstructure and the electrical properties have been studied in a binary ZnO–0.5 mol% V₂O₅ system. The microstructure of the samples consists mainly of ZnO grains with ZnCr₂O₄ and α-Zn₃(VO₄)₂ as the minority secondary phases. The addition of Cr₂O₃ is found to be effective in controlling the abnormal ZnO grain growth often found in V₂O₅-doped ZnO ceramic system, and a more uniform microstructure can be obtained. The varistor performance is also improved as observed from the increase in the non-linear coefficient α of the Cr₂O₃-doped ZnO–V₂O₅ samples. The α value is found to increase with the amount of Cr₂O₃ for up to 3 mol% Cr₂O₃ content. Further increase in Cr₂O₃ is found to cause a decrease in the α value. The highest α value of 28.9 is obtained for the ZnO–0.5 mol% V₂O₅–3 mol% Cr₂O₃ sample.     

Multiferroic ceramics in BaO–Y2O3–Fe2O3–Nb2O5 system

Multiferroic ceramics in BaO–Y₂O₃–Fe₂O₃–Nb₂O₅ system were synthesized and their dielectric, ferroelectric and magnetic properties were evaluated. XRD results showed that the ceramic composite consists of a major phase of tetragonal tungsten bronze structured Ba₂YFeNb₄O₁₅, and minor phases of monoclinic YNbO₄ and hexagonal Ba₃Fe₂Nb₆O₂₁. Three dielectric relaxations were observed in the temperature range from 125 to 575 K. The relaxor dielectric behavior in the temperature range from 125 to 350 K was attributed to the random occupation of Fe³⁺ and Nb⁵⁺ ions at B site of the tungsten bronze structure. The electrode polarization and the inhomogeneous structure contributed to the high-temperature and middle-temperature dielectric relaxations, respectively. Both the ferroelectric hysteresis loop and the magnetic hysteresis loop were measured, which suggested that the synthesized ceramic composite was a promising candidate of multiferroics.     

Investigation of the effect of ZrO2 and ZrO2/Al2O3 additions on the hot-pressing and properties of equimolecular mixtures of α- and β-Si3N4

In this work, hot-pressing of equimolecular mixtures of α- and β-Si₃N₄ was performed with addition of different amounts of sintering additives selected in the ZrO₂–Al₂O₃ system. Phase composition and microstructure of the hot-pressed samples was investigated. Densification behavior, mechanical and thermal properties were studied and explained based on the microstructure and phase composition. The optimum mixture from the ZrO₂–Al₂O₃ system for hot-pressing of silicon nitride to give high density materials was determined. Near fully dense silicon nitride materials were obtained only with the additions of zirconia and alumina. The liquid phase formed in the zirconia and alumina mixtures is important for effective hot-pressing. Based on these results, we conclude that pure zirconia is not an effective sintering additive. Selected mechanical and thermal properties of these materials are also presented. Hot-pressed Si₃N₄ ceramics, using mixtures from of ZrO₂/Al₂O₃ as additives, gave fracture toughness, K_IC, in the range of 3.7–6.2 MPa m^1/2 and Vicker hardness values in the range of 6–12 GPa. These properties compare well with currently available high performance silicon nitride ceramics. We also report on interesting thermal expansion behavior of these materials including negative thermal expansion coefficients for a few compositions.

Phase equilibria and liquidus surface of CaO-SiO2–5 wt%MgO-Al2O3-TiO2 slag system

The lack of phase equilibria relations and liquidus surface thermodynamic information for CaO-SiO₂–5?wt%MgO-Al₂O₃-TiO₂ system has seriously restricted the comprehensive utilization of the titanium resources. In present study, the phase equilibrium relationships were investigated for CaO-SiO₂–5?wt%MgO-Al₂O₃-TiO₂ phase diagram system at 1300?°C and 1400?°C using the high temperature equilibrium technique followed by X-Ray Fluoroscopy (XRF), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDX) analysis. In the composition range studied, the liquid phase, melilite solid solution phase and CaO·TiO₂ phase were found. The two-phase equilibrium of liquid coexisting with CaO·TiO₂ phase was intensively dicussed, and the spatial liquidus surfaces at 1300?°C, 1400?°C and 1450?°C (data from literatures only) for liquid coexisting with CaO·TiO₂ phase were first constructed in CaO-SiO₂–5?wt%MgO-Al₂O₃-TiO₂ tetrahedral phase diagram, which can realize a visual understanding of the phase relation change trendency in 3-dimensional space.     

In vitro behavior of bioactive phosphate glass–ceramics from the system P2O5–Na2O–CaO containing titania

Soda lime phosphate bioglass–ceramics with incorporation of small additions of TiO₂ were prepared in the metaphosphate and pyrophosphate region, using an appropriate two-step heat treatment of controlled crystallization defined by differential thermal analysis results. Identification and quantification of crystalline phases precipitated from the soda lime phosphate glasses were performed using X-ray diffraction analysis. Calcium pyrophosphate (β-Ca₂P₂O₇), sodium metaphosphate (NaPO₃), calcium metaphosphate (β-Ca(PO₃)₂), sodium pyrophosphate (Na₄P₂O₇), sodium calcium phosphate (Na₄Ca(PO₃)₆) and sodium titanium phosphate (Na₅Ti(PO₄)₃) phases were detected in the prepared glass–ceramics. The degradation of the prepared glass–ceramics was carried out for different periods of time in simulated body fluid at 37 °C using granules in the range 0.300–0.600 mm. The released ions were estimated by atomic absorption spectroscopy and the surface textures were measured by scanning electron microscopy. Investigation of in vitro bioactivity of the prepared glass–ceramics was done by the measurement of the infrared reflection spectra for the samples after immersion in the simulated body fluid for different periods at 37 °C. The result showed that no apatite layer was formed on the surface of the samples and the dominant phase remained on the surface was β-Ca₂P₂O₇, which is known for its bioactivity.     

Crystallization behavior and properties of K2O–CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 glass-ceramics

In order to obtain high-strength anorthite glass-ceramics, K₂O–CaO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ quaternary glass and relevant glass-ceramics were prepared and investigated. The results show that anorthite along with kalsilite or leucite was precipitated from the parent glass. Kalsilite crystals were formed firstly and then converted into leucite through reacting with SiO₂ in the glass phase. The morphology of the crystals was dependent on the heat-treatment temperature. Column crystals were transformed into fine granular grains when the sintering temperature changed from 900 °C to 1100 °C. The activation energy (E_α) and avrami constant (n) were also calculated as 463.81 KJ/mol and 3.74 respectively, indicating that bulk nucleation and three-dimensional crystal growth were the dominating mechanisms in the temperature range 1000–1100 °C. The maximum value of the flexural strength for the glass-ceramics containing leucite was 248 MPa and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was in the range 5.69~11.94×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹. The leucite is the main reason for the high CTEs and high flexural strength of glass-ceramics.
