In this paper, ZrO2 and WO3 were used as the raw materials to prepare ZrO2 /ZrW2 O8 composites by in situ reaction method and the thermal expansion property of the composites was studied. This novel method included a heating step up to 1473 K for 24 h, which combines the synthesizing and sintering of ZrW2 O8 . The result indicates that ZrO2 /ZrW2 O8 composite shows near-zero thermal expansion when the weight ratio of ZrO2 and WO3 is 2.5:1. Compared with composites prepared previously by non-reactive sintering of ZrO2 and ZrW2 O8 , the composites show higher relative density and lower porosity. 相似文献

The sintering of ultrafine γ-Al2 O3 powder (particle size ∼10–20 nm) prepared by an inert gas condensation technique was investigated in air at a constant heating rate of 10°C/min. Qualitatively, the kinetics followed those of transition aluminas prepared by other methods. Measurable shrinkage commenced at ∼ 1000°C and showed a region of rapid sintering between ∼1125° and 1175°C followed by a transition to a much reduced sintering rate at higher temperatures. Starting from an initial density of ∼0.60 relative to the theoretical value, the powder compact reached a relative density of 0.82 after sintering to 1350°C. Compared to compacts prepared from the as-received powder, dispersion of the powder in water prior to compaction produced a drastic change in the microstructural evolution and a significant reduction in the densification rate during sintering. The incorporation of a step involving the rapid heating of the loose powder to ∼1300°C prior to compaction (which resulted in the transformation to α-Al2 O3 ) provided a method for significantly increasing the density during sintering. 相似文献

The reaction sintering of equimolar mixtures of ZnO and A12 O3 powders was investigated as a function of primary processing parameters such as the temperature, heating rate, green density, and particle size. The powder mixtures were prepared by two different methods. In one method, the ZnO and A12 O3 powders were ball-milled. In the other method, the ZnO powder was chemically precipitated onto the A12 O3 particles dispersed in a solution of zinc chloride. The sintering characteristics of the compacted powders prepared by each method were compared with those for a prereacted, single-phase powder of zinc aluminate, ZnAl2 O4 . The chemical reaction between ZnO and A12 O3 occurred prior to densification of the powder compact and was accompanied by fairly large expansion. The mixing procedure had a significant effect on the densification rate during reaction sintering. The densification rate of the compact formed from the ball-milled powder was strongly inhibited compared to that for the single-phase ZnAl2 O4 powder. However, the densification rate of the compact formed from the chemically precipitated mixture was almost identical to that for the ZnAl2 O4 powder. The difference in sintering between the ball-milled mixture and the chemically precipitated mixture is interpreted in terms of differences in the microstructural uniformity of the initial powder compacts resulting from the different preparation procedures. 相似文献

Conventional ramp-and-hold sintering with a wide range of heating rates was conducted on submicrometer and nanocrystalline ZrO2 –3 mol% Y2 O3 powder compacts. Although rapid heating rates have been reported to produce high density/fine grain size products for many submicrometer and smaller starting powders, the application of this technique to ZrO2 –3 mol% Y2 O3 produced mixed results. In the case of submicrometer ZrO2 –3 mol% Y2 O3 , neither densification nor grain growth was affected by the heating rate used. In the case of nanocrystalline ZrO2 –3 mol% Y2 O3 , fast heating rates severely retarded densiflcation and had a minimal effect on grain growth. The large adverse effect of fast heating rates on the densification of the nanocrystalline powder was traced to a thermal gradient/differential densification effect. Microstructural evidence suggests that the rate of densification greatly exceeded the rate of heat transfer in this material; consequently, the sample interior was not able to densify before being geometrically constrained by a fully dense shell which formed at the sample exterior. This finding implies that rapid rate sintering will meet severe practical constraints in the manufacture of bulk nanocrystalline ZrO2 –3 mol% Y2 O3 specimens. 相似文献

The densification behavior of Al2 O3 -MgO (0.1 wt%) has been studied in O2 and N2 atmospheres. Powder compacts have been sintered at 1600°C for 0.5 to 8 h. For some specimens the sintering atmosphere has been changed after 30 min of sintering. Irrespective of sintering atmosphere, sintered densities are approximately the same up to 99% relative density, implying that the capillary pressure effect dominates the atmosphere effect for most of the densification stage. During extended sintering treatment the density of specimens sintered in O2 becomes higher than that in N2 . When the sintering atmosphere is changed from O2 to N2 , enhanced densification results, and vice versa. Such an effect of sintering atmosphere is explained by the diffusiveness of gases entrapped in pores, as well as by oxygen potential differences inside and outside of the specimen. Differences in grain growth rate in various atmospheres are discussed on the basis of different densification rates. 相似文献

The precursor powders of Ca3 Co4 O9 were synthesized by a sol–gel method. The results of X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses patterns indicate that pure Ca3 Co4 O9 powders could be obtained by calcining the precursor at 800°C for 2 h. High dense Ca3 Co4 O9 ceramic samples (∼99% of theoretical density) were prepared by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. Compared with the conventional sintering (CS), the SPS samples exhibit much higher electrical conductivity and power factor which are respectively about 118 S/cm and 3.51 × 10−4 W·(m·K2 )−1 . The SPS method is greatly effective for improving the thermoelectric properties of Ca3 Co4 O9 oxide ceramics. 相似文献

High-frequency induction heat sintering (HFIHS) is a comparatively new technique that consolidates metals and ceramics very rapidly to full density. In this work, superfast densification behavior and the attendant microstructural features of Al2 O3 –(ZrO2 +8% mol Y2 O3 ) composites processed by HFIHS were investigated. The effects of processing parameters such as sintering temperatures, pressures, and heating rate, on the mechanical and microstructural properties were studied. The results indicated that HFIHS was effective in the preparation of fine-grained, nearly fully dense Al2 O3 –8YSZ ceramics from the powder with a smaller particle size by optimizing the overall processing parameters. 相似文献

A possibility to produce microwave (MW) dielectric materials by liquid-phase sintering of fine particles was investigated. Zn3 Nb2 O8 powders with a grain size 50–300 nm were obtained by the thermal decomposition of freeze-dried Zn–Nb hydroxides or frozen oxalate solutions. The crystallization of Zn3 Nb2 O8 from amorphous decomposition products was often accompanied by the simultaneous formation of ZnNb2 O6 . Maximum sintering activity was observed for single-phase crystalline Zn3 Nb2 O8 powders obtained at the lowest temperature. The sintering of as-obtained powders with CuO–V2 O5 sintering aids results in producing MW dielectric ceramics with a density 93%–97% of the theoretical, and a Q × f product up to 36 000 GHz at sintering temperature ( T s )≥680°C. The high level of MW dielectric properties of ceramics was ensured by intensive grain growth during the densification and the thermal processing of ceramics. 相似文献

In a recent work, 1 we have reported the optimization of the spark plasma sintering (SPS) parameters to obtain dense nanostructured 3Y-TZP ceramics. Following this, the present work attempts to answer some specific issues: (a) whether ZrO2 -based composites with ZrB2 reinforcements can be densified under the optimal SPS conditions for TZP matrix densification (b) whether improved hardness can be obtained in the composites, when 30 vol% ZrB2 is incorporated and (c) whether the toughness can be tailored by varying the ZrO2 –matrix stabilization as well as retaining finer ZrO2 grains. In the present contribution, the SPS experiments are carried out at 1200°C for 5 min under vacuum at a heating rate of 600 K/min. The SPS processing route enables retaining of the finer t -ZrO2 grains (100–300 nm) and the ZrO2 –ZrB2 composite developed exhibits optimum hardness up to 14 GPa. Careful analysis of the indentation data provides a range of toughness values in the composites (up to 11 MPa·m1/2 ), based on Y2 O3 stabilization in the ZrO2 matrix. The influence of varying yttria content, t -ZrO2 transformability, and microstructure on the properties obtained is discussed. In addition to active contribution from the transformation-toughening mechanism, crack deflection by hard second phase brings about appreciable increment in the toughness of the nanocomposites. 相似文献

Pressureless sintering of SiC-whisker-reinforced Al2 O3 composites was investigated. In Part I of the study, the effect of the matrix (Al2 O3 ) powder surface area on densification behavior and microstructure development is reported. Compacts prepared with higher surface area Al2 O3 powder showed enhanced densification at lower whisker concentrations (5 and 15 vol%). Samples with 15 vol% whiskers could be pressureless sintered to ∼97% relative density with zero open porosity and ∼1.6-μm matrix average grain intercept size. 相似文献

The modification of the densification behavior and the grain-growth characteristics of the microwave-sintered ZnO materials, caused by the incorporation of V2 O5 additives, have been systematically studied. Generally, the addition of V2 O5 markedly enhances the densification rate, such that a density as high as 97.9% of the theoretical density and a grain size as large as 10 µm can be attained for a sintering temperature as low as 800°C and a soaking time as short as 10 min. Increasing the sintering temperature or soaking time does not significantly change the sintered density of the ZnO-V2 O5 materials but it does monotonously increase their grain size. Varying the proportion of V2 O5 in the range of 0.2-1.0 mol% does not pronouncedly modify such behavior. The leakage current density ( J L ) of these high-density and uniform-granular-structure samples is still large, which is amended by the incorporation of 0.3 mol% of Mn3 O4 in the ZnO materials, in addition to 0.5 mol% of the V2 O5 additives. Samples that are obtained using such a method possess good nonohmic characteristics (α= 23.5) and a low leakage current density ( J L = 2.4 10-6 A/cm2 ). 相似文献

We investigated the densification of undoped, nanocrystalline yttria (Y2 O3 ) powder by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at sintering temperatures between 650°C and 1050°C at a heating rate of 10°C/min and an applied stress of 83 MPa. In spite of the low sinterability of the undoped Y2 O3 , a remarkable densification of the powder started at about 600°C, and a theoretical density of more than 97% was achieved at a sintering temperature of 850°C with a grain size of about 500 nm. The low temperature SPS is effective for fabricating dense Y2 O3 polycrystals. 相似文献

The sinterabilities of fine zirconia powders including 5 mass% Y2 O3 were investigated, with emphasis on the effect of Al2 O3 at the initial sintering stage. The shrinkage of powder compact was measured under constant rates of heating (CRH). The powder compact including a small amount of Al2 O3 increased the densification rate with elevating temperature. The activation energies at the initial stage of sintering were determined by analyzing the densification curves. The activation energy of powder compact including Al2 O3 was lower than that of a powder compact without Al2 O3 . The diffusion mechanisms at the initial sintering stage were determined using the new analytical equation applied for CRH techniques. This analysis exhibited that Al2 O3 included in a powder compact changed the diffusion mechanism from grain boundary to volume diffusions (VD). Therefore, it is concluded that the effect of Al2 O3 enhanced the densification rate because of decrease in the activation energy of VD at the initial sintering stage. 相似文献

Superfast densification of ceramic composites in the pseudobinary system Al2 O3 -Y3 Al5 O12 was carried out by using a new technique called spark plasma sintering (SPS). Dense ceramic composites were obtained by heating appropriate powder mixtures to 1573 K in an SPS unit at a rate of 600 K/min. No holding time at 1573 K was applied. Scanning electron microscopy studies showed the compacted materials to contain submicrometer-sized grains of the same sizes as the precursor powder mixtures; i.e., no significant grain growth had occurred. 相似文献

The effect of rare-earth oxide additives on the densification of silicon nitride by pressureless sintering at 1600° to 1700°C and by gas pressure sintering under 10 MPa of N2 at 1800° to 2000°C was studied. When a single-component oxide, such as CeO2 , Nd2 O3 , La2 O3 , Sm2 O3 , or Y2 O3 , was used as an additive, the sintering temperature required to reach approximate theoretical density became higher as the melting temperature of the oxide increased. When a mixed oxide additive, such as Y2 O3 –Ln2 O3 (Ln=Ce, Nd, La, Sm), was used, higher densification was achieved below 2000°C because of a lower liquid formation temperature. The sinterability of silicon nitride ceramics with the addition of rare-earth oxides is discussed in relation to the additive compositions. 相似文献

NiAl2 O4 /SiO2 and Co2+ -doped NiAl2 O4 /SiO2 nanocomposite materials of compositions 5% NiO – 6% Al2 O3 – 89% SiO2 and 0.2% CoO – 4.8% NiO – 6% Al2 O3 – 89% SiO2 , respectively, were prepared by a sol–gel process. NiAl2 O4 and cobalt-doped NiAl2 O4 nanocrystals were grown in a SiO2 amorphous matrix at around 1073 K by heating the dried gels from 333 to 1173 K at the rate of 1 K/min. The formations of NiAl2 O4 and cobalt-doped NiAl2 O4 nanocrystals in SiO2 amorphous matrix were confirmed through X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimeter, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and optical absorption spectroscopy techniques. The TEM images revealed the uniform distribution of NiAl2 O4 and cobalt-doped NiAl2 O4 nanocrystals in the amorphous SiO2 matrix and the size was found to be ∼5–8 nm. 相似文献

α - Al2 O3 nanopowders with mean particle sizes of 10, 15, 48, and 80 nm synthesized by the doped α-Al2 O3 seed polyacrylamide gel method were used to sinter bulk Al2 O3 nanoceramics. The relative density of the Al2 O3 nanoceramics increases with increasing compaction pressure on the green compacts and decreasing mean particle size of the starting α-Al2 O3 nanopowders. The densification and fast grain growth of the Al2 O3 nanoceramics occur in different temperature ranges. The Al2 O3 nanoceramics with an average grain size of 70 nm and a relative density of 95% were obtained by a two-step sintering method. The densification and the suppression of the grain growth are achieved by exploiting the difference in kinetics between grain-boundary diffusion and grain-boundary migration. The densification was realized by the slower grain-boundary diffusion without promoting grain growth in second-step sintering. 相似文献

Precipitation of TiO2 occurs during the sintering of SrTiO3 with V2 O5 added as a liquid-phase sintering agent. Satisfactory densification can be obtained at 1250°C when using a high content of V2 O5 during sintering. However, a microstructure of fine grains and large pores results along with the precipitation of TiO2 . The precipitation of TiO2 can be repressed by the addition of excess SrO. A well-sintered microstructure with superior densification can thus be obtained at 125O°C from specimens sintered with a low content of V2 O5 and an appropriate amount of excess SrO. 相似文献

Preparation of dense and phase-pure Ba2 Ti9 O20 is generally difficult using solid-state reaction, since there are several thermodynamically stable compounds in the vicinity of the desired composition and a curvature of Ba2 Ti9 O20 equilibrium phase boundary in the BaO–TiO2 system at high temperatures. In this study, the effects of B2 O3 on the densification, microstructural evolution, and phase stability of Ba2 Ti9 O20 were investigated. It was found that the densification of Ba2 Ti9 O20 sintered with B2 O3 was promoted by the transient liquid phase formed at 840°C. At sintering temperatures higher than 1100°C, the solid-state sintering became dominant because of the evaporation of B2 O3 . With the addition of 5 wt% B2 O3 , the ceramic yielded a pure Ba2 Ti9 O20 phase at sintering temperatures as low as 900°C, without any solid solution additive such as SnO2 or ZrO2 . The facilities of B2 O3 addition to the stability of Ba2 Ti9 O20 are apparently due to the eutectic liquid phase which accelerates the migration of reactant species. 相似文献

The feasibility of producing Al2 O3 /TiC metal cutting tools by fast microwave sintering followed by hot isostatic pressing was examined. Microwave heating profiles able to ensure near-full densification of Al2 O3 /TiC ceramic components were determined. Simple-shape specimens could be sintered to a bulk density of 97% theoretical density (TD) while in the case of tool-shaped ones maximal densification levels attained were somewhat lower, i.e., ∼95% TD. Temperature uniformization—within the heating chamber—by using a particulate SiC susceptor noticeably reduced tool cracking propensity. Densification levels in the range acceptable for commercial tool manufacturing (≥98% TD) were achieved by hot isostatic pressing of the microwave-sintered parts. The isostatically pressed parts exhibited a Vickers hardness H v ≅ 2000 kg/mm2 and a fracture toughness K IC ∼ 4.3 MPa·m1/2 . 相似文献
