Improved additive manufacturing of silicon carbide parts via pressureless electric field-assisted sintering

High solids loading silicon carbide (SiC)-based aqueous slurries containing only .5 wt. % organic additives were utilized to create specimens of various geometries via an extrusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) technique. Pressureless electric field-assisted sintering was performed to densify each specimen without deformation. The combination of these techniques produced parts with >98% relative density despite containing only 5 wt.% oxide sintering additives. After sintering, specimens contained only the α-SiC and yttrium aluminum perovskite phases. This suggests the evolution of a nonequilibrium yttrium aluminate phase, as well as transformation from β-SiC to α-SiC. The fabrication method presented in this work has advantages over other AM techniques commonly used with SiC, because it does not require significant organic additives nor additional postprocessing steps such as chemical vapor infiltration or polymer impregnation and pyrolysis.

Effects of Y2O3/MgO ratio on mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of silicon nitride ceramics

In this work, the effects of Y₂O₃/MgO ratio on the densification behavior, phase transformation, microstructure evolution, mechanical properties, and thermal conductivity of Si₃N₄ ceramics were investigated. Densified samples with bimodal microstructure could be obtained by adjusting the ratio of Y₂O₃/MgO. It was found that a low Y₂O₃/MgO ratio facilitated the densification of Si₃N₄ ceramics while a high Y₂O₃/MgO ratio benefited the phase transformation of Si₃N₄ ceramics. Best mechanical properties (flexural strength of 875 MPa, and fracture toughness of 8.25 MPa·m^1/2, respectively) and optimal thermal conductivity of 98.04W/(m·K) were achieved in the sample fabricated with Y₂O₃/MgO ratio of 3:4 by sintering at 1900°C for 4 h.     

Development of spark plasma sintered conductive SiC–TiB2 composites for electrical discharge machining applications

Highly dense electrically conductive silicon carbide (SiC)–(0, 10, 20, and 30 vol%) titanium boride (TiB₂) composites with 10 vol% of Y₂O₃–AlN additives were fabricated at a relatively low temperature of 1800°C by spark plasma sintering in nitrogen atmosphere. Phase analysis of sintered composites reveals suppressed β→α phase transformation due to low sintering temperature, nitride additives, and nitrogen sintering atmosphere. With increase in TiB₂ content, hardness increased from 20.6 to 23.7 GPa and fracture toughness increased from 3.6 to 5.5 MPa m^1/2. The electrical conductivity increased to a remarkable 2.72 × 10³ (Ω cm)^–1 for SiC–30 vol% TiB₂ composites due to large amount of conductive reinforcement, additive composition, and sintering in nitrogen atmosphere. The successful electrical discharge machining illustrates potential of the sintered SiC–TiB₂ composites toward extending the application regime of conventional SiC-based ceramics.     

Densification and enhancement of SiC particulate-reinforced fine-grain SiC ceramic

Dense sintering of SiC nanopowder under low temperature and pressure remains a big challenge, because of the great resistance caused by the severe agglomeration of nanopowder. A novel sintering strategy is proposed to prepare SiC composite ceramics by sintering the mixture of SiC nanopowder and SiC micron powder at low temperature and pressure. The SiC micron powder was in the size of 100 µm with little sintering activity, which was designed as a pressure conductor to promote the densification of SiC nanopowder. Experimental results showed that the SiC micron powder had a significant effect on increasing of the sintering density of nanopowder and improving the mechanical properties of SiC ceramics. An SiC composite ceramic with a relative density of 98%, a Vickers hardness of 22.6 GPa, and a fracture toughness of 5.43 MPa m^1/2 could be sintered by spark plasma sintering under 1700°C and 30 MPa by adding 30 wt.% 100 µm SiC micron powder as reinforcements.     

Fabrication and characterization of Si3N4 whisker-reinforced SiO2 ceramic for radome materials

Fused silica ceramic has become one of the most widely used radome materials in the world since the 1970s. But its poor mechanical properties restricted its application to some extent. To improve the mechanical properties of the fused silica ceramic and keep its characteristic for radome materials, silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) whisker-reinforced fused silica ceramics were prepared by a slip-casting method in the work. The influence of Si₃N₄ whisker contents on the properties of the slurry was studied, indicating that the preferable pH values of the slurry were 4–6 and whisker contents were 10 wt.%. The flexural strength of as-prepared Si₃N_4w/SiO₂ ceramic was about 74.35 MPa, exhibiting an increase of 7.75% over that of the pure silica sample. Its dielectric constant in the range from 8 to 12 GHz and tanδ under 10 GHz were, respectively, 3.37 and .0011. It is of great interest to find that Si₃N_4w/SiO₂ has excellent oxidization resistance and its mass maintains even at 1270°C.
