AbstractCeramic-ceramic composites have been prepared using the centrifugal slip casting method (CSC). The method has so far been mainly utilized in making ceramic-metal composites. Al2O3–ZrO2 composites have been obtained with different shares of ZrO2, i.e., 15, 50 and 75 vol pct, respectively. Prior to sintering the composite samples, the rheological properties of the casting slips were investigated and thermogravimetric tests were performed. Upon sintering, all three series of the ceramic composites showed a density close to 100 pct and no microcracks or delamination. Phase, microstructural and mechanical investigations were carried out to determine what effect the share of ceramics has on the composites produced. An increase in the share of ZrO2 in the Al2O3–ZrO2 composite leads to a reduction in the growth of Al2O3 grains and a decrease in the average hardness. Cross-sectional hardness testing of the composites showed no evident gradient in any of the samples. Life cycle analysis (LCA) results indicate that the further optimization of the composite formation process, including up-scaling, allows to obtain Al2O3–ZrO2-based pipes possessing more favorable environmental characteristics compared with materials conventionally used for linear infrastructure, which is important in light of the global transformation toward sustainable construction and the circular economy.

AbstractIn this work the microstructure analysis of composite from ZrO2– Ti system were presented. For the preparation of the composite samples nanometric ZrO2powder stabilized by 3 mol% of Y2O3and micrometric titanium powder were used. The composites with 10 vol.% addition of titanium particles were prepared by slip casting method. The sintering process was conducted at 1450°C with 2 hours’ dwell time, in the inert atmosphere of argon. The microstructure observations were carried out with the use of SEM and STEM microscopes. The quantitative analysis and stereological characterization were performed. The SEM and STEM observations allowed characterizing the microstructure of composite samples. Especially, the interface between titanium particles and zirconia matrix was described. The growth of the zirconia grains around the Ti rich areas was observed. The increase of the zirconia grains size results from the reaction on the interface between titanium particle and zirconia matrix during the sintering process.

In this paper, ferroelectric–ferrimagnetic ceramic composites based on multicomponent PZT-type (PbZr1-xTixO3-type) material and ferrite material with different percentages in composite compositions were obtained and studied. The ferroelectric component of the composite was a perovskite ceramic material with the chemical formula Pb0.97Bi0.02(Zr0.51Ti0.49)0.98(Nb2/3Mn1/3)0.02O3 (P), whereas the magnetic component was nickel-zinc ferrite with the chemical formula Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 (F). The process of sintering the composite compounds was carried out by the free sintering method. Six ferroelectric-ferrimagnetic ceramic P-F composite compounds were designed and obtained with different percentages of its components, i.e., 90/10 (P90-F10), 85/15 (P85-F15), 80/20 (P80-F20), 60/40 (P60-F40), 40/60 (P40-F60), and 20/80 (P20-F80). X-ray diffraction patterns, microstructural, ferroelectric, dielectric, magnetic properties, and DC electrical conductivity of the composite materials were investigated. In this study, two techniques were used to image the microstructure of P-F composite samples: SB (detection of the signals from the secondary and backscattered electron detectors) and BSE (detection of backscattered electrons), which allowed accurate visualization of the presence and distribution of the magnetic and ferroelectric component in the volume of the composite samples. The studies have shown that at room temperature, the ceramic composite samples exhibit good magnetic and electrical properties. The best set of physical properties and performance of composite compositions have ceramic samples with a dominant phase of ferroelectric component and a small amount of the ferrite component (P90-F10). Such a composition retains the high ferroelectric properties of the ferroelectric component in the composite while also acquiring magnetic properties. These properties can be prospectively used in new types of memory and electromagnetic converters.

Residual stress profiles were measured by neutron diffraction in Al2O3/Y-TZP ceramic composites containing 5 and 40 vol.% Y-TZP fabricated by conventional slip casting and by a novel tape casting route. Residual stresses in the zirconia are tensile and increase as its volume fraction decreases. For the alumina matrix, residual stress is compressive and increases with the zirconia volume fraction. In the composite with 5 vol.% zirconia, the processing route does not have an influence on residual stresses. However, in the composite with 40 vol.% zirconia, residual stresses are different in the samples obtained by both processing routes.

In present work, Aluminium 6061 was reinforced by varying the percentage of sugarcanebagasse ash (SCBA). Al-SCBA composite samples were fabricated by stir casting method. The weartest conducted on the samples using a pin on disc machine under the normal sliding condition. Basedon the testing parameters (Volume fraction ‘V’, Load ‘L’, sliding speed ‘S’) an L27 Orthogonal arraydesign was selected. According to L27 array, the wear & friction test was conducted. variance analysis(ANOVA) was performed to find out the important parameter and contribution in percentage for eachparameter on the composite material. To verify the analysis results with experimented resultconfirmation test was carried out. Further, to find the wear mechanism on the composite sampleselectron microscopy (SEM) test was used.

Mambong pottery in Kuala Krai, Kelantan is one of the types of potteries in Malaysia other than Sayong, Terenang and Sarawak pottery. Mambong pottery was being made by traditional technique like pinching and throwing. In this research, Mambong pottery was made by using slip casting method. This method used porous mould which can absorb the water content from the clay slip. Different composition of water and clay was used and its effect on product properties was investigated. Samples with different composition of water and clay were labelled as 50C50W, 60C40W, 70C30W and 80C20W samples with addition of 0.7% of sodium silicate, Na2SiO3. The samples were characterized by its specific gravity (S.G.) of clay slip, drying and firing linear shrinkage, density and porosity and strength of the clay samples. Finding from this research showed that 70C30W sample is the optimum composition in fabricating pottery by using slip casting among other samples.

There has been growing interest in developing new materials with higher strength-to-weight ratios. Therefore, AM60 magnesium alloy reinforced with SiO2 nanoparticles was synthesized using ultrasound-casting method for the first time, in this study. We introduced 1 and 2 wt.% of SiO2 nanoparticles into the samples. Introduction of nanoparticles led to the grain size drop in MS2 (AM60 + 2 wt.% SiO2) samples. In addition, this increased the hardness of samples from 34.8 Vickers hardness (HV) in M (AM60) to 51.5 HV in MS2, and increased the compressive strength of MS2. Improvement of the mechanical properties can be attributed to a combination of Orowan, Hall–Petch and load-bearing mechanisms. However, ductility of the composites decreased with fracture strains being 0.41, 0.39 and 0.37, respectively, for samples M, MS1 and MS2. Fracture surfaces showed shear fracture in both composite samples with microcracks and a more brittle fracture in MS2.
