This study reports the effect of milling type on the microstructural, physical and mechanical properties of the W-Ni-ZrC-Y2O3 composites. Powder blends having the composition of W-1 wt% Ni-2 wt% ZrC-1 wt% Y2O3 were milled at room temperature for 12 h using a Spex™ 8000D Mixer/Mill or cryomilled in the presence of externally circulated liquid nitrogen for 10 min using a Spex™ 6870 Freezer/Mill or sequentially milled at room temperature and cryogenic condition. Then, powders were compacted in a hydraulic press under a uniaxial pressure of 400 MPa and green bodies were sintered at 1400 °C for 1 h under Ar/H2 atmosphere. Phase and microstructural characterization of the milled powders and sintered samples were performed using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), TOPAS software, scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM/EDS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer and particle size analyzer (PSA). Archimedes density and Vickers microhardness measurements, and sliding wear tests were also conducted on the sintered samples. The results showed that sequential milling enables the lowest average particle size (214.90 nm) and it is effective in inhibiting W grain coarsening during sintering. The cryomilled and sintered composite yielded a lower hardness value (5.80±0.23 GPa) and higher wear volume loss value (149.42 µm3) than that of the sintered sample after room temperature milling (6.66±0.39 GPa; 102.50 µm3). However, the sequentially milled and sintered sample had the highest relative density and microhardness values of 95.09% and 7.16±0.59 GPa and the lowest wear volume loss value of 66.0 µm3. 相似文献

Owing to the good physicochemical compatibility and complementary mechanical properties of Ti3SiC2 and Al2O3, Ti3SiC2/Al2O3 composites are considered as ideal structural materials. However, TiC and TiSi2 typically coexist during the synthesis of Ti3SiC2/Al2O3 composites through an in-situ reaction, which adversely affects the mechanical properties of the resulting composites. In this study, Ti3SiC2/Al2O3 composites were prepared via in-situ hot pressing sintering at 1450 °C. Ge, which was used as a sintering aid, improved the purity and mechanical properties of the Ti3SiC2/Al2O3 composites. This is because Ge replaced some of the Si atoms to compensate the evaporation loss of Si to form Ti3(Si1-xGex)C2, which showed a crystal structure similar to that of Ti3SiC2. Furthermore, the molten Ge accelerated the diffusion reaction of the raw materials, increasing the overall density of the Ti3SiC2/Al2O3 composites. The optimum Ge amount for improving the mechanical properties of the composites was found to be 0.3 mol. The flexural strength, fracture toughness, and microhardness of the composite with the optimum Ge amount were 640.2 MPa, 6.57 MPa m1/2, and 16.21 GPa, respectively. The formation of Ti3(Si1-xGex)C2 was confirmed by carrying out X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analyses. A model crystal structure of Ti3(Si1-xGex)C2 doped with 0.3 mol Ge was established by calculating the solid solubility of Ge. 相似文献

SiCw-Al2O3-YAG ceramic composites were prepared by hot oscillatory pressing (HOP) and traditional hot pressing (HP). The results showed that compared with static pressure, the oscillatory pressure could effectively promote densi?cation and mechanical properties of the composites. The sample prepared by HOP exhibited higher hardness (15.72 ± 0.20 GPa) and fracture toughness (7.13 ± 0.19 MPa m1/2). The current work suggests that HOP could be an effective technique for the preparation of whisker reinforced ceramic composites. 相似文献

The demand for high-performance grinding wheels is gradually increasing due to rapid industrial development. Vitrified bond diamond composite is a versatile material for grinding wheels used in the backside grinding step of Si wafer production. However, the properties of the vitrified bond diamond composite are controlled by the characteristics of the diamond particles, the vitrified bond, and pores and are very complicated. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of SiO2–Na2O–B2O3–Al2O3–Li2O–K2O–CaO–MgO–ZrO2–TiO2–Bi2O3 glass powder on the sintering, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the vitrified bond diamond composite. The elemental distributions of the composite were analyzed using electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) to clarify the diffusion behaviors of various elements during sintering.The results showed that the relative density and transverse rupture strength of the composite sintered at 620 °C were 91.7% and 126 MPa, respectively. After sintering at 680 °C, the glass powder used in this study exhibited a superior forming ability without an additional pore foaming agent. The relative density and transverse rupture strength of the composite decreased to 48.2% and 49 MPa, respectively. Moreover, the low sintering temperature of this glass powder protected the diamond particles from graphitization during sintering, as determined by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectrum. Furthermore, the EPMA results indicate that Na diffused and segregated at the interface between the diamond particles and vitrified bond, contributing to the improved bonding. The diamond particles can remain effectively bonded by the vitrified bond even after fracture. 相似文献

The wetability improvement and particle size reduction of alumina/Ni composites through mechanical alloying were addressed. Their effect on the sinterability (at high temperature), mechanical and electrical properties were studied. Al2O3 matrix nanocomposites reinforced with different volume fractions of Ni up to 10 vol% were prepared by mechanical alloying. The milled powders were cold pressed and sintered at different firing temperatures up to 1600 °C. The morphology of powders and the microstructure of sintered bodies were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. Furthermore, relative density, apparent porosity, mechanical properties and electrical resistivity of the sintered composites were investigated. The results revealed that Al2O3 matrix was successfully coated with Ni thin film through mechanical alloying; the thickness of coat was increased with increasing the Ni content. Moreover, the increasing of both Ni content and sintering temperature up 1600 °C, led to a remarkable increase in the relative density and facture toughness of the sintered specimen. On the other hand, microhardness and elastic modulus were decreased with increasing of Ni content, while they increased significantly with the increase of sintering temperature. The electrical resistivity was decreased with increasing Ni content and sintering temperature. 相似文献

LZAS glass-ceramic composites toughened by 5, 10, 15 and 20 vol% 3-mol%-Y2O3-tetragonal-ZrO2-polycrystal (3Y-TZP) were prepared via pressureless sintering. Sinterability of composites was investigated in the temperature range of 520–720 °C using soaking time of 30 min. The sintered specimens were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The results revealed that during sintering 3Y-TZP particles agglomerated between the glass powders and were not dissolved by glass-matrix. Mechanical properties of the sintered samples such as bending strength, Vickers micro-hardness and fracture toughness were also investigated. Measurements showed that the relative density of the samples decreased with increasing 3Y-TZP content. The composite containing 15 vol% 3Y-TZP has a best mechanical properties and it would be the optimum composition. It can be confirmed that crack deflection and transformation toughening are the dominant mechanisms for improving mechanical properties of the composites. 相似文献

This paper is devoted to correlate the microstructure and room temperature mechanical properties of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) reinforced 3 mol% yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia with high SWNT content (2.5, 5 and 10 vol%). Fully dense composites were prepared by using a combination of aqueous colloidal powder processing and Spark Plasma Sintering. SWNTs were located at the ceramic grain boundaries and they were not damaged during the sintering process. The weak interfacial bonding between SWNTs and ceramic grains together with the detachment of SWNTs within thick bundles have been pointed out as responsible for the decrease of hardness and fracture toughness of the composites in comparison with the monolithic 3YTZP ceramic. 相似文献

A novel composite of 12 mol% CeO2-stablized tetragonal ZrO2 reinforced with Al2O3 whiskers (designated as Ce-TZP/Aw) has been prepared and studied in this work. The objective of this investigation was to systematically study the influence of whisker-aspect-ratio on the densification behaviors, microstructure evolution, and mechanical properties of Ce-TZP/Aw composite. Results showed that the sintered density of composite increased and the grain growth tended to diminish with the decrease in whisker aspect radio. Both the fracture toughness and flexural strength reached maximum values of 475 ± 12 MPa and 11.4 ± 0.2 MPa m1/2, respectively at a whisker aspect ratio of about 12. It was also observed that the fracture toughness, flexural strength and tetragonal to monoclinic ZrO2 transformation of the dual-phase composite exhibited similar variation trend as a function of the whisker-aspect-ratio, which suggested that the stress-induced phase transformation should be the main toughening and strengthening mechanism in the Ce-TZP/Aw composite. 相似文献

In order to improve the sintering of SiC, mixtures of Al2O3 and Y2O3 powders are commonly included as sintering additives. The aim of this work was to use mechanically alloyed Al2O3–Y2O3 mixtures as sintering additives to promote liquid phase sintering of SiC using spark plasma sintering. The results showed that milling reduced the particle size of the powders and led to the formation of complex oxide phases (YAP, YAM, and YAG) at low temperatures. As the ball milling time increased, the mass loss of specimens sintered with mechanically alloyed Al2O3–Y2O3 mixtures decreased, and accordingly the relative density increased. However, the hardness and flexural strength of sintered SiC specimens first increased and then decreased. Because the specimens prepared with oxides milled for a long time contained too much YAG/YAP and accordingly too much liquid at sintering temperature. This negatively affected the mechanical properties of the SiC specimens because of the increased volume of the complex oxide phases, which have inferior mechanical properties to SiC, in the sintered specimens. When the ball milling time was 6 h, the hardness (24.02 GPa) and flexural strength (655.61 MPa) of the SiC specimens reached maximum values. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to improve the mechanical properties of Al2O3 ceramics by the addition of Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 whiskers (designated as Al2O3/YSZW composite) through the flux method and hot-pressing technology. The effect of YSZW content on their microstructure, phase composition and transformability, mechanical properties, and wear resistance was systematically investigated. The Al2O3/YSZW composites containing 10 wt% YSZW exhibited the best mechanical performance, including the highest content of YSZW tetragonal phase and transformability as well as the largest values in their relative density (99.5%), hardness (1969 HV), fracture toughness (9.57 MPa m1/2) and flexural strength (855 MPa). The strengthening and toughening of the Al2O3/YSZW composites were attributed to the YSZW tetragonal-monoclinic phase transformation as well as the whiskers reinforcing effect. Furthermore, the Al2O3/YSZW composites also showed the highest friction and wearing properties. 相似文献

Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3–ZnAl2O4 composite ceramics were prepared by double sintering and conventional sintering. The results show that the double sintering can effectively reduce the ion diffusion between Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 and ZnAl2O4 phases. The double sintered samples exhibit higher density and more uniform grain size distribution than the conventional sintered samples. The dielectric permittivity of double sintered samples is lower than that of conventional sintered samples. Impedance spectrum analysis shows that the oxygen vacancy content and grain boundary resistance of the double sintered samples is lower than that of the conventional sintered samples, which indicates that the Q value of the double sintered samples is higher than that of the conventional sintered samples. The optimum dielectric tunability and Q value of double sintered 60 wt%Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3-40 wt%ZnAl2O4 sample are 23.4% at 30 kV/cm and 276 at 2.257 GHz, respectively. Therefore, double sintering is a strategy that can effectively adjust the dielectric tunability and Q value of BST-ZA composite ceramics. 相似文献

The mass production of MAX phase coatings such as Ti3SiC2 and Ti3AlC2 using the plasma spraying method is highly challenging due to its ultra-high temperature and short reaction time. In this study, agglomerate powders of 3Ti/SiC/C/xAl with various Al contents (x = 0–1.5) were prepared to form TiC/Ti5Si3/Ti3SiC2 composite coatings using the plasma spraying technique. The effect of the Al addition on the microstructures and mechanical performances of the as-sprayed coatings was investigated. The addition of Al decreased the TiC content of the coatings while increasing their Ti3SiC2 content significantly. The addition of even small amounts of Al improved the MAX phase fraction of the coatings from 8.95 wt% (x = 0) to 34.05 wt% (x = 0.2) and 41.60 wt% (x = 0.5). Excess Al did not affect the Ti3SiC2 content of the coatings. The composite coatings showed a lamellar structure with pores and microcracks. With the addition of Al, the microhardness of the coatings increased slightly, while the fracture toughness improved significantly. The composite coatings with Al showed better wear resistance than those without Al. The wear mechanism of the coatings was a combination of adhesive wear, abrasive wear, and oxidative wear. 相似文献

This paper reports on the preparation of ZrC particulate-reinforced Al-7 wt.% Si composites by using a consecutive method of mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). Al, Si (7 wt.%), and ZrC (0, 2, 5, and 10 wt.%) powders were blended and mechanically alloyed (MA'd) for 4 h in a high-energy vibratory ball mill. Subsequently, SPS (at 450 °C for 210 s) was carried out on non-MA'd and MA'd powders. Dissimilar to the inhomogeneous microstructure of the non-MA'd powders, the 4 h MA'd powders exhibited a homogeneous morphology with semi-equiaxed particles that revealed a lower average crystallite size and higher average lattice strain. Furthermore, microstructural, physical, and mechanical characterizations were performed on the spark plasma sintered (SPS'd) composites. The mechanical characterizations showed that MA'd/SPS'd Al-7 wt.% Si-5 wt.% ZrC composite displayed the highest hardness and strength values among all the fabricated composites. It exhibited a hardness of 1.52 ± 0.16 GPa, yield strength of 327.56 ± 7.16 MPa, and compressive strength of 406.42 ± 2.82 MPa. Besides, the MA'd/SPS'd Al-7 wt.% Si-10 wt.% ZrC composite exhibited the lowest wear rate of 0.0022 mm3/N.m, which was approximately 46% of that of the unreinforced composite (0.0048 mm3/N.m). It can be stated that the addition of ZrC and application of MA effectively improved the microstructural and mechanical properties of the composites. 相似文献

The mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of the Al2O3-C refractories are of critical importance for iron and steel making processes. However, the evaporation of antioxidants related phases such as Al(g), Si(g), and SiO(g) would deteriorate these properties, especially during high-temperature treatment/application. Therefore, in the present work, a small amount of Ti3AlC2 compared with Al was introduced to overcome these problems. The phase compositions, microstructures, mechanical properties, and oxidation resistance of Ti3AlC2 containing refractories were investigated. The partial oxidation of Ti3AlC2 led to inherited lamellar structures such as Ti3Al1-xC2, TiC, and granular Al2TiO5 phases. The controlled oxidation of Ti3AlC2 and its volume expansion contributed to the compact-structure, thereby limiting the escape of Si and SiO vapors at high temperatures. Consequently, the mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of Ti3AlC2 containing Al2O3-C refractories treated at 1600 ℃ were improved. 相似文献

Dense Al2O3/Ti(C,N) composite ceramics reinforced with GNPs/nano-ZrO2 were fabricated by hot-press sintering. The effects of nano-ZrO2 content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the prepared Al2O3/Ti(C,N)/GNPs/ZrO2 composites were investigated. Results showed that nano-ZrO2 inclusions refined the matrix grains significantly and resulted in the formation of intra-granular structure. Excellent comprehensive mechanical properties were achieved via addition of combined GNPs and nano-ZrO2. In particular, the fracture toughness of composites incorporating GNPs (0.4 wt%)/ZrO2 (1 wt%) exceeded 11 MPa m1/2, which was increased by more than 86 % compared with that of Al2O3/Ti(C,N) ceramic composites without GNPs/ZrO2. The main toughening mechanisms have been identified as stress-induced phase transformation, crack bridging, deflection and pull-out of GNPs. The toughening effects originated from GNPs were enhanced with the introduction of nano-ZrO2 because of not only the residual stress resulted from phase transformation but also the formation of intra-granular structure with uneven surface around GNPs. 相似文献

To realize a high hardness in transparent MgAl2O4, the MgAl2O4/Al2O3 laminated composite was fabricated by a one-step spark-plasma-sintering (SPS) method. By sintering at a temperature of 1225 °C for 10 min and at a heating rate of ≤ 10 °C/min under a pressure of 300 MPa, the MgAl2O4/Al2O3 laminated composites can attain a high hardness with maintaining the wide band transparency. The in-line and IR transmission were ~50 % at the visible wavelength of 500 nm and >77 % at the wavelength of 4 μm, respectively. The Vickers hardness measured on the surface of the Al2O3 layer perpendicular to the MgAl2O4/Al2O3 stacking exhibited 29 GPa, which is higher than those of the monolithic Al2O3 (26.6 GPa) and MgAl2O4 (17.2 GPa). The wide band transparency and mechanical properties can be realized by simultaneously attaining smaller grain sizes and higher densities of both the MgAl2O4 and Al2O3 phases in the laminated composite by optimizing the SPS conditions. 相似文献

The densification behavior, microstructural development, toughening and strengthening mechanisms of Al2O3 whisker-reinforced 3Y-TZP and 12Ce-TZP composites were systematically and comparatively investigated with varying whisker lengths. Compared with 3Y-TZP/Aw composites, the presence of a Ce-Al-Si-O amorphous phase, caused by the addition of Al2O3 whiskers, promoted the densification and grain growth of 12Ce-TZP/Aw composites. Crack deflection and bridging are proposed as the primary toughening mechanisms for 3Y-TZP/Aw composites, while the t-m martensitic transformation would dominate the toughening and strengthening processes of 12Ce-TZP/Aw composites. Changes in Al2O3 whisker length would vary the distributions of internal stress and amorphous phase within the ceria-stabilized ZrO2 matrix, and hence affect the toughening and strengthening results. It indicates that effective toughening and strengthening of the Al2O3 whisker-reinforced TZP composites can be achieved by taking advantage of collaborative engineering control on the reinforcement morphology and the interface chemistry/structure. 相似文献

The directionally solidified Al2O3/MgAl2O4/ZrO2 ternary eutectic ceramic was prepared via induction heating zone melting. Smooth Al2O3/MgAl2O4/ZrO2 eutectic ceramic rods with diameters of 10 mm were successfully obtained. The results demonstrate that the eutectic rods consist of Al2O3, MgAl2O4 and ZrO2 phases. In the eutectic microstructure, the MgAl2O4 and Al2O3 phases form the matrix, the ZrO2 phase with a fibre or shuttle shape is embedded in the matrix, and a quasi-regular eutectic microstructure formed, presenting a typical in situ composite pattern. During the eutectic growth, the ZrO2 phase grew on non-faceted phases ahead of the matrix growing on the faceted phase. The hardness and fracture toughness of the eutectic ceramics reached 12 GPa and 6.1 MPa·m 1/2, respectively, i.e., two times and 1.7 times the values of the pre-sintered ceramic, respectively. In addition, the ZrO2 phase in the matrix reinforced the matrix, acting as crystal whiskers to reinforce the sintered ceramic. 相似文献

Al2O3-Cr2O3 refractories have excellent slag corrosion resistance and can adapt to the oxidation/reduction atmosphere in the smelting reduction ironmaking furnace. However, Al2O3-Cr2O3 refractories have poor mechanical properties and sintering properties. In order to improve the mechanical properties of Al2O3-Cr2O3 materials, the CaAl12O19 reinforced Al2O3-Cr2O3 composites were prepared by pressureless sintering process, and the influences of CaO content on the sintering properties, mechanical properties, and microstructure evolution of the composites were studied. The results show that a small amount of CaO can significantly improve the compactness of the composites, which is mainly due to the formed sheet-like CA6 fill the gap between the solid solutions, and reduces the porosity of the composites. In addition, the sheet-like CA6 makes the connection between solid solutions closer, and the intergranular fracture gradually transforms into a mixed mode of intergranular and transgranular fracture. The best mechanical propertie is observed at S4 with the CaO content of 2 wt.%. Compared with sample S0 without CaO, the hardness, compressive strength and flexural strength of the S4 were increased by 35.19 %, 49.69 %, and 68.34 %, respectively. The addition of excessive CaO will deteriorate the mechanical properties of the composites, because the formation of a large number of layered CA6 increases the porosity of the composites. Furthermore, a small amount of CaO addition can significantly improve the thermal shock resistance of the composites. After 10 and 20 thermal shock cycles, the strength loss rates of S4 are only 5.83 % and 8.74 %, respectively. 相似文献
