An optimum route to synthesize Al2O3-based composite powders with a homogeneous dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was investigated. CNT/Metal/Al2O3 nanocomposite powders were fabricated by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) over a metal catalyst homogeneously dispersed into an Al2O3 matrix by the means of chemical and selective reduction processes. The nanocomposite powders were densified by Pulse Electric Current Sintering (PECS). The experimental results show that the CNT/Metal/Al2O3 nanocomposites have unique electrical properties.

In this work, MgAl2O4 transparent ceramics was fabricated from combustion-synthesized nanopowders by pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) combined with two-step sintering. Ceramic powder was densitified using two-step heating, namely the first-step temperature was 1100 oC with holding time of 60 min and the second-step temperatures in range from 1300 oC to 1450 oC with 20 min duration. The results showed that the transparent ceramic samples sintered at 1100 oC/60 min – 1400 oC/20 min had grain size of 177 ± 8 nm, relative density about 99 %, transmittance up to 80 %, and Vickers hardness of 18 GPa. These values were higher than that of samples obtained by one-step sintering at 1400 oC.

Transparent MgAl2O4 ceramics were fabricated by pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) employing two-step sintering mode. First, nanoscale MgAl2O4 powders were produced by solution combustion synthesis from hydrated nitrate compounds and urea. Subsequently, the synthesized powders were sintered by PECS with a heating rate of 100oC/min under an applied pressure of 100 MPa. The sintering process was conducted according to two-step heating profile. At the first step, the temperature increased to 1050, 1100, and 1150oC, followed by a dwell time of 60 min. The second-step sintering was carried out at 1300, 1350, and 1400oC for 20 min. The transparent ceramics sintered at 1050oC/ 60 min – 1400oC/ 20 min exhibited transmittance over 80% in infrared range. In addition, transparent samples presented a Vickers hardness up to 30 GPa for sintering mode of 1150oC/ 60 min – 1400oC/ 20 min.

ABSTRACTThis research shows the development of alternative Cu-based materials for applications where enhanced thermal properties are desired. Cu/AlN composites were fabricated from mixtures of pure Cu and copper plated AlN-Cu composite powders. The ceramic phase was added in amounts of 10, 20 and 30 vol.% and the mixtures sintered by pulsed electric current sintering process (PECS). The results showed that the AlN particles are homogeneously distributed in the copper matrix and that the true contacts between hard particles are reduced because of the deposited copper on their surfaces, improving the connectivity of the matrix phase and bonding at the metal-ceramic interface. The relative density of the Cu/AlN composites was major than 97% in all cases. Thermal conductivity of the composites was high and decreased with the ceramic content from 359 to 194 W/mK, for 10 and 30% AlN, respectively. The coefficient of thermal expansion followed a lineal behavior with temperature and is also reduced with the ceramic content.
