超重力下燃烧合成Al2O3-ZrO2(Y2O3)共晶陶瓷组织性能演化

采用超重力下燃烧合成工艺进行Al2O3-ZrO2 (4Y)共品陶瓷的制备,研究了Al2O3-ZrO2(4Y)共晶陶瓷的凝固行为、组织演化与力学性能的关系.XRD、SEM与EDS分析显示陶瓷基体组织是由表层的微纳米晶组织和心部的ZrO2四方相微米球品组织组成.陶瓷表层微纳米品组织的形成是因Al2O3高熵相率先形核和Al2O3各向异性生长,诱发Al2O3-ZrO2(4Y)小平面-小平面共晶生长所致;处于陶瓷心部的ZrO2四方相微米球晶组织则是因ZrO2高温立方相快速生长,导致Al2O3和ZrO2独立长大所致.力学性能测试结果表明因陶瓷凝固行为引起的显微组织演化,使其表层具有最大的维氏硬度(20.2GPa),而其心部则具有最高的断裂韧性(18.5±1.6MPa·m1/2),陶瓷弯曲强度达至1268±112MPa.

Plasma spraying of Al2O3 and Al2O3Y2O3

A microstructural study has been carried out of plasma-sprayed Al₂O₃ and mixed and sintered Al₂O₃Y₂O₃. In order to ascertain the degree of metastability achieved by plasma spraying, these results are compared with a similar experiment utilizing a CO₂ laser for melting and the hammer-and-anvil technique for quenching of the same materials. X-ray diffraction methods were used to determine the obtained phases and crystal structures. In addition, transmission electron microscopy was used to confirm the phases present and to study their morpology. The porosity was studied with both mercury intrusion porosimetry and small angle neutron scattering. The addition of Y₂O₃ is shown to decrease the porosity from 15% to 7.5%. Adhesion is likewise related to the addition of Y₂O₃ and it is seen that adhesion of the mixture is measurably improved over that of pure Al₂O₃. The implication of these results is discussed.     

Al2O3—Coated Nano—SiC Particles Reinforced Al2O3 Matrix Composites

Properties of Al2O3-coated nano-SiC have been compared with those of as-received SiC.The isoelectric point(IEP) of SiC changed from pH3.4 to pH7.3 after coating with the alumina precursor,which is close to that of alumina.Because both surfaces of coated SiC and Al2O3 possess higher positive charge at pH=4.5-5.0 ,they are uniformly dispersed in the two-phase aqueous suspensions.Then a mixed powder containing nano-SiC dispersed homogeneously into the Al2O3 matrix was achieved from flocculating the two-phase suspension.Finally,Al2O3/SiC nanocomposited were obtained by coating nano-SiC with Al2O3 ,in which the majority of SiC particles were located within the Al2O3 grains.The observation by transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and the analysis by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) showed that cracks propagated towards the intragranular SiC rather than along prain boundaries.

Surface,grain-boundary and interfacial energies in Al2O3 and Al2O3-Sn,Al2O3-Co systems

Using the multiphase equilibrium method for the measurement of contact angles, the surface and grain-boundary energies of polycrystalline Al₂O₃ in the temperature range of 1473 to 1923 K were determined. Linear temperature functions were obtained by extrapolation for both quantities between absolute zero and the melting point of Al₂O₃. The temperature dependence of the surface and grain boundary energies can be expressed as $$\gamma _{{\rm A}l_2 O_3 } = 2.559 - 0.784 \times 10^{ - 3} T(J m^{ - 2} )$$ and $$\gamma _{{\rm A}l_2 O_3 - Al_2 O_3 = } 1.913 - 0.611 \times 10^{ - 3} T(J m^{ - 2} )$$ respectively. The interfacial energies of Al₂O₃ in contact with the molten metals tin and cobalt revealed a linear dependence on temperature.     

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.     

Eutectic solidification in the system Al2O3/Y3Al5O12

The eutectic solidification in the system Al₂O₃/Y₂Al₅O₁₂ has been investigated. A Bridgman-type crystal-growing furnace was used in this investigation. A temperature gradient of 190° C/cm and growth rates which were varied between 2 and 12 cm/h were employed in the directional solidification studies. Three types of microstructure were observed depending upon the composition and the growth rate. At a growth rate of 4 cm/h and at compositions removed from the eutectic composition, a mixture of primary phase and fine eutectic dispersion was found. At growth rates between 2 and 12 cm/h at the eutectic composition, a colony type microstructure was most commonly observed. At growth rates above 4 cm/h at the eutectic composition, regions in the solidified ingot were found to have a highly oriented eutectic microstructure consisting of both rods and platelets. These eutectic microstructures indicate that coupled growth can occur in this system. The method of Sunquist and Mondolfo [15] was used to determine whether Y₃Al₅O₁₂ was the first phase to nucleate at the eutectic.
