Rapid synthesis of Ti3AlC2/TiB2 composites by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique

Dense Ti₃AlC₂/TiB₂ composites were successfully fabricated from B₄C/TiC/Ti/Al powders by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The microstructure, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites were investigated. The experimental results indicate that the Vickers hardness increased with the increase in TiB₂ content. The maximum flexural strength (700 ± 10 MPa) and fracture toughness (7.0 ± 0.2 MPa m^1/2) were achieved through addition of 10 vol.% TiB₂, however, a slight decrease in the other mechanical properties was observed with TiB₂ addition higher than 10 vol.%, which is believed to be due to TiB₂ agglomeration.     

Effect of Ti5Si3 on wear properties of Ti3Si(Al)C2

Near-fully dense Ti₃Si(Al)C₂/Ti₅Si₃ composites were synthesized by in situ hot pressing/solid–liquid reaction process under a pressure of 30 MPa in a flowing Ar atmosphere at 1580 °C for 60 min. Compared to monolithic Ti₃Si(Al)C₂, Ti₃Si(Al)C₂/Ti₅Si₃ composites exhibit higher hardness and improved wear resistance, but a slight loss in flexural strength (about 26% lower than Ti₃Si(Al)C₂ matrix). In addition, Ti₃Si(Al)C₂/Ti₅Si₃ composites maintain a high fracture toughness (K_IC = 5.69–6.79 MPa m^1/2). The Ti₃Si(Al)C₂/30 vol.%Ti₅Si₃ composite shows the highest Vickers hardness (68% higher than that of Ti₃Si(Al)C₂) and best wear resistance (the wear resistance increases by 2 orders of magnitude). The improved properties are mainly ascribed to the contribution of hard Ti₅Si₃ particles, and the strength degradation is mainly due to the lower Young's modulus and strength of Ti₅Si₃.     

Material removal and surface damage in EDM of Ti3SiC2 ceramic

Material removal and surface damage of Ti₃SiC₂ ceramic during electrical discharge machining (EDM) were investigated. Melting and decomposition were found to be the main material removal mechanisms during the machining process. Material removal rate was enhanced acceleratively with increasing discharge current, i_e, working voltage, u_i, but increased deceleratively with pulse duration, t_e. Microcracks in the surface and loose grains in the subsurface resulted from thermal shock were confirmed, and the surface damage in Ti₃SiC₂ ceramic led to a degradation of both strength and reliability.     

Synthesis and reaction mechanism of Ti3SiC2 ternary compound by carbothermal reduction of TiO2 and SiO2 powder mixtures

The present study aims to investigate synthesis of Ti₃SiC₂ from TiO₂ and SiO₂ powder mixtures by carbothermal reduction method. Equilibrium TiO₂–SiO₂–C ternary phase diagram was used to predict the conditions for the formation of Ti₃SiC₂ at 1800 K under Ar atmosphere. A reactant mixture with a TiO₂:SiO₂ molar ratio of 1.5 and a C content of 68.75 mol% (26.86 wt%) was initially selected among the thermodynamically favorable reactant compositions for the experimental studies. Two different C sources, graphite flakes and pyrolytic C coating, were used to synthesize Ti₃SiC₂ at 1800 K under Ar atmosphere. When graphite flakes were used, the products contained a trace amount of Ti₃SiC₂ phase along with major TiC and minor SiC phases. Whereas, pyrolytic C coating on the oxide particles resulted in the products with much higher Ti₃SiC₂ contents owing to the close contact between the reactants. Optimal C concentration for the C coated oxide mixtures with a TiO₂:SiO₂ molar ratio of 1.5 was determined to be 30.05 wt% under the experimental conditions studied. Ti₃SiC₂ content of the products obtained from this reactant was observed to increase with reaction time to 31 wt% at 75 min beyond which it gradually decreased. XRD studies indicated that the product with the highest ternary carbide content also contained TiC and a trace amount of SiC. SEM-EDS analyses showed that this sample essentially consisted of spherical fine TiC particles and Ti₃SiC₂ nanolaminates. Equilibrium thermodynamic analysis of the TiO₂–SiO₂–C system suggested that the reaction of solid Ti₂O₃ with SiO and CO gases may play a dominant role in the formation of Ti₃SiC₂.     

The catalytic performance in oxidative coupling of methane and the surface basicity of La2O3, Nd2O3, ZrO2 and Nb2O5

The catalytic performance in oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) of unmodified pure La₂O₃, Nd₂O₃, ZrO₂ and Nb₂O₅ has been investigated under various conditions. The results confirmed that the activity of La₂O₃ and Nd₂O₃ was always much higher than that of the remaining two. The surface basicity/base strength distribution of pure La₂O₃, Nd₂O₃, ZrO₂ and Nb₂O₅ was measured using a test reaction of transformation of 2-butanol and a temperature-programmed desorption of CO₂. Both methods showed that La₂O₃ and Nd₂O₃ had high basicity and contained medium and strong basic sites (lanthanum oxide more and neodymium oxide somewhat less). ZrO₂ had only negligible amount of weak basic sites and Nb₂O₅ was rather acidic. The confrontation of the basicity and catalytic performance indicated that in the case of investigated oxides, the basicity (especially strong basic sites) could be a decisive factor in determination of the catalytic activity in OCM. Only in the case of ZrO₂ it was observed a moderate catalytic performance in spite of negligible basicity. The influence of a gas atmosphere used in the calcination of oxides (flowing oxygen, helium and nitrogen) on their basicity and catalytic activity in OCM had been also investigated. Contrary to earlier observations with MgO, no effect of calcination atmosphere on the catalytic performance of investigated oxides in OCM and on their basicity was observed.     

Preparation of SiC reinforced Ti3SiC2-base composite and its biocompatibility evaluation

Soft Ti₃SiC₂ ceramic is a new class of potential biomaterial for orthopaedic applications and dental implants. Introducing SiC into Ti₃SiC₂ can compensate for the relatively low hardness of the Ti₃SiC₂ implants. In this study, SiC reinforced Ti₃SiC₂-base composites were fabricated by reactive sintering of powder compacts. Mechanical properties and phase constitution of the prepared samples were studied. Biocompatibility of the composite was evaluated by implanting the material onto the shaft surface of the femur of a rabbit, while, biostability was studied by immersing the material into human blood plasma and also into a simulated body fluid (Hank's) for prolonged time.     

Accommodation of impurities in α-Al2O3, α-Cr2O3 and α-Fe2O3

Atomic scale computer simulation was used to predict the mechanisms and energies associated with the accommodation of aliovalent and isovalent dopants in three host oxides with the corundum structure. Here we consider a much more extensive range of dopant ions than has previously been the case. This enables a rigorous comparison of calculated mechanism energetics. From this we predict that divalent ions are charge compensated by oxygen vacancies and tetravalent ions by cation vacancies over the full range of dopant radii. When defect associations are included in the model these conclusions remain valid. At equilibrium, defects resulting from extrinsic dopant solution dominate intrinsic processes, except for the largest dopant cations. Solution reaction energies increase markedly with increasing dopant radius. The behaviour of cluster binding energies is more complex.     

Formation of the Ti4O7 phase through interaction between coated carbon and TiO2

Fine particles ofphotocatalytic anatase TiO₂ prepared through hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide were coated by carbon. A reduced phase, Ti₄O₇, was formed through interaction between TiO₂ and the coating carbon. EXAFS analysis on this Ti₄O₇ phase showed an intermediate Ti-Ti distance between those in anatase and rutile, which agreed with the structure composed of two-dimensional slabs of Ti-O octahedra separated by a shear plane. This carbon-coated Ti₄O₇ was confirmed to have photocatalytic activity, even though a little lower than anatase, examining the decomposition of methylene blue in water under LTV irradiation.     

Carbon coated Li3V2(PO4)3 cathode material prepared by a PVA assisted sol-gel method

Carbon coated Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ cathode material was prepared by a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) assisted sol-gel method. PVA was used both as the gelating agent and the carbon source. XRD analysis showed that the material was well crystallized. The particle size of the material was ranged between 200 and 500 nm. HRTEM revealed that the material was covered by a uniform surface carbon layer with a thickness of 80 Å. The existence of surface carbon layer was further confirmed by Raman scattering. The electrochemical properties of the material were investigated by charge-discharge cycling, CV and EIS techniques. The material showed good cycling performance, which had a reversible discharge capacity of 100 mAh g⁻¹ when cycled at 1 C rate. The apparent Li⁺ diffusion coefficients of the material ranged between 9.5 × 10⁻¹⁰ and 0.9 × 10⁻¹⁰ cm² s⁻¹, which were larger than those of olivine LiFePO₄. The large lithium diffusion coefficient of Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ has been attributed to its special NASICON-type structure.
