Effect of the method of introduction of Y2O3 into NiAl-based powder alloys on their structure: I. Agitation in a ball mill

The effect of the sintering temperature (1100–1400°C) of NiAl alloy samples with oxide Y₂O₃ produced by hydrostatic pressing on their structure and phase composition and the distribution of oxide particles in a NiAl-based intermetallic matrix alloyed with ～0.5 at % Fe is considered. It is found that dispersed oxide particles in the compact material prepared from a mixture of oxide Y₂O₃ powder and a NiAl alloy (produced by calcium hydride reduction of a mixture of nickel and aluminum oxides) powder in a standard ball mill are nonuniformly distributed in the volume. The morphology of oxides changes during sintering: sintered samples contain rounded particles, which differ strongly from the clearly faceted angular particles of oxide Y₂O₃ added to a mixture (they represent conglomerates of single crystals). In the sintered samples, large aggregates of oxides are revealed along grain boundaries. Mass transfer is possible at the NiAl/Y₂O₃ interface in the system: it leads to partial substitution of aluminum and/or iron atoms for yttrium atoms in the Y₂O₃ lattice and to the formation of submicroscopic particles of (Fe,Al)₅Y₃O₁₂-type oxides.

The sections of a nozzle blade from an aviation gas turbine engine are produced from mechanically activated CHR mixtures of NiAl-2.5% Y₂O₃ powders by isothermal forging.

Effect of Y2O3 and Sm2O3 on Sintering and Mechanical Behaviors of Alumina Ceramics

The effects of Y2O3 and Sm2O3 doping on the sintering temperature, microstructure and mechanical behaviors of Al2O3 ceramics were investigated. The experimental results show that the sintering temperature can be decreased and the mechanical behavior can be improved by adding rare earth in alumina ceramics. The relative density of rare-earthdoped alumina ceramics reaches 98.8% after sintering at 1600 ℃ for 2 h, and its bending strength and fracture toughness reach 439 MPa and 5.28 MPa·m1/2,respectively.Introduction of Y2O3 and Sm2O3 in Al2O3 can restrain the growth of grains, refine the size of grains, and thus form a fine-grained structure. The fracture characteristic is the mixed modes of intergranular and transgranular fracture.     

Effect of Y2O3 and Dy2O3 on Microstructure and Mechanical Behaviors of Aluminum Nitride Ceramics

The effects of two types of additives, Y2O3 and Dy2O3, on the sintering and mechanical behaviors of AlN ceramics were investigated. The experimental results show that the sintering temperature can be decreased and the mechanical behavior can be improved by adding rare earth in AlN ceramics. The strength of AlN ceramics with Y2O3 and Dy2O3 are 326 and 320 MPa, respectively, which are 97.6% and 93.9% higher than the un-doped AlN ceramics. The fracture behavior on the fracture surfaces of rare earth oxide AlN ceramics was found to be a mixed mode of transgranular fracture and intergranular fracture. As a result, it is concluded that the improvement of bending strength of AlN ceramics with Y2O3 and Dy2O3 addition are mainly achieved by strengthening the grain boundary.     

Deformation and heat treatment of NiAl-Y2O3-based powder alloys: III. Directional recrystallization

The effect of recrystallization annealing of various sections produced by twofold extrusion with a total reduction λ = 28 and blade profiles produced by isothermal stamping on the formation of a directional structure with a low fraction of transverse boundaries has been studied in NiAl-Y₂O₃ (2.5 and 7.5 vol %) alloys. Annealing at temperatures of (0.89–0.95)T _m of NiAl is performed under isothermal conditions or in a temperature field with a temperature gradient along the product length. It is shown that Y₂O₃ particles of irregular shapes introduced during mechanical activation into the NiAl powder prepared by hydride-calcium reduction take a rounded shape during deformation and heat treatment. As a result of mechanical activation, extrusion, and subsequent directional recrystallization (DR), complex oxides form. The crystallographic texture of the extruded and recrystallized rods and profiles is studied. It is shown that hot extrusion and subsequent DR result in the formation of a quasi-single-crystal structure in a NiAl matrix with coarse elongated recrystallized grains.

Effect of Y2O3 on Dielectric Properties of BaTiO3 Ceramics

Tiny amount of rare earth Y2O3 can restrain the growth of grains and broaden the peak of BaTiO3 ceramics.Proper characteristics of capacitance change with temperature were obtained. Meanwhile, the insulation resistance increased with the increasing contents of Y2O3. In this system, the cooperation of Y2O3 with Ho2O3 was also discussed.It is concluded that the insulation resistivity reduces if the content of Y2 O3 is below 0.25 %. With the increasing content of additives, weak-binding electrons in grains will be compensated by V"8a so the insulation resistivity increased. The breakdown voltage is enhanced to 15 kV · mm-1.

Upconversion properties of Y2O3：Er films prepared by sol-gel method

Y2O3:Er3+ films were prepared by a simple sol-gel process. The structural properties of Y2O3:Er3+ flints were characterized with X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the Y2O3:Er3+ f'rims might have high upconversion efficiency because of their low vibrational energy. Under 785 and 980 nm laser excitation, the samples showed green (2H11/2→4I15/2, 4S3/2→4I15/2) and red (4F9/2→4I15/2) upconversion emissions. The upconversion mechanisms were stud-led in detail through laser power dependence. Excited state absorption and energy transfer process were discussed as possible upconversion mechanisms. The cross relaxation process in Er3+ was also investigated.

Mechanical properties of NiAl-Y2O3-based powdered alloys produced by directional recrystallization

The mechanical properties of NiAl-Y₂O₃-based powdered composite alloys (0.5–7.5 vol %), including those with an NiAl intermetallic matrix alloyed with 0.5 wt % Fe and 0.1 wt % La have been studied. Structures with various aspect ratios (AR, the ratio of the grain length to the grain diameter) are formed using deformation and subsequent annealing. A combination of the optimum amount of strengthening phase (2.5 vol % Y₂O₃) and a quasi-single-crystalline structure with a sharp axial texture with the (100) main orientation and AR ≈ 20–40 provides the maximum short-term strength and life at temperatures up to 1400–1500°C. An NiAl-Y₂O₃ alloy (2.5 vol %) has the best strength properties among all known nickel superalloys at temperatures higher than 1200°C and can operate under moderate loads at temperatures higher than the working temperatures of nickel superalloys (by 100–400°C) and their melting points. Additional alloying with 10 wt % Co and 2 wt % Nb makes it possible to increase the ultimate tensile strength of an intermetallic NiAl matrix at 1100°C by a factor of 1.3–1.4.
