Thermal conductivity mapping of the Ni–Al system and the beta-NiAl phase in the Ni–Al–Cr system

Micron-scale-resolution thermal conductivity mapping on graded compositions created in diffusion-multiple samples can be used to rapidly establish composition-phase-property relationships and to reveal the effects of solid-solutioning, order-disorder transition, compositional point defect, and site preference on thermal conductivity.

Preparation and properties of nano-SiC-based ceramic composites containing nano-TiN

Nano-SiC based ceramic composites were prepared by two-step pressureless sintering. The addition of nano-TiN and Y₃Al₅O₁₂ restrained the growth of nano-SiC crystals and resulted in high mechanical properties and uniform microstructure with the crystal size of 200-400 nm. The reinforcing mechanism of nano-SiC based ceramic composites integrated the strengthening and toughening mechanism of nano-TiN and Y₃Al₅O₁₂, such as pining effect, strengthening SiC boundaries, crack deflection, crack bridging and crack interlocking (see Fig. 1).
