AbstractSilica ceramic cores have played an important part in the manufacture of hollow blades due to their excellent chemical stability and moderate high-temperature mechanical properties. In this study, silica-based ceramics were prepared with Al2O3 addition by stereolithography, and the influence of Al2O3 content on mechanical properties of the silica-based ceramics was investigated. The Al2O3 in silica-based ceramics can improve the mechanical properties by playing a role as a seed for the crystallization of fused silica into cristobalite. As a result, with the increase of Al2O3 content, the linear shrinkage of the silica-based ceramics first decreased and then increased, while the room-temperature flexural strength and the high-temperature flexural strength first increased and then decreased. As the Al2O3 content increased to 1.0 vol%, the linear shrinkage was reduced to 1.64% because of the blocked viscous flow caused by Al2O3. Meanwhile, the room-temperature flexural strength and the high-temperature flexural strength were improved to 20.38 and 21.43 MPa with 1.0 vol% Al2O3, respectively, due to the increased α-cristobalite and β-cristobalite content. Therefore, using the optimal content of Al2O3 in silica-based ceramics can provide excellent mechanical properties, which are suitable for the application of ceramic cores in the manufacturing of hollow blades.

The aim of the present paper is to study the mechanical properties of aluminate cement mortar mixed with different chopped fibers under high temperature. The specimens with a size of 40 mm ? 40 mm ? 160 mm is treated at various tempera?tures of 25?C, 200?C, 400?C, 600?C, and 800?C. The compressive and flexural strength of the aluminate cement mortar and its micro-structures are tested. The results show that the chopped steel fibers and basalt fibers are effective in improv?ing the high temperature mechanical properties of aluminate cement mortar. When the volume fraction of chopped steel fibers is 2%, the compressive strength and flexural strength of the test block treated at the temperature of 800?C increase by 18.3% and 128.6%, respectively.

Inconel 713C

Inconel 713C alloy was tried to manufacture by using MIM(Metal Injection Molding) process. The high-temperature mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C were also investigated. Processing defects such as pores and binders could be observed near the surface. Tensile tests were conducted from room temperature to 900°C. The result of tensile tests showed that this alloy had similar or somewhat higher strengths (YS: 734 MPa, UTS: 968 MPa, elongation: 7.16 % at room temperature) from RT to 700°C than those of conventional Inconel 713C alloys. Above 800°C, however, ultimate tensile strength decreased rapidly with increasing temperature (lower than casted Inconel 713C). Based on the observation of fractography, initial crack was found to have started near the surface defects and propagated rapidly. The superior mechanical properties of MIMed Inconel 713C could be obtained by optimizing the MIM process parameters.

Ultra High Temperature

SiC whisker-reinforced ZrB2 matrix ultra-high temperature ceramic were prepared at 2000°C for 1 h under 30MPa by hot pressing and the effects of whisker on flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites was examined. The flexural strength and fracture toughness are 510±25MPa and 4.05±0.20MPa⋅m1/2 at room temperature, respectively. Comparing with the SiC particles-reinforced ZrB2 ceramic, no significant increase in both strength and toughness was observed. The microstructure of the composite showed that the SiC whisker was destroyed because the SiC whisker degraded due to rapid atom diffusivity at high temperature. The results suggested that some related parameters such as the lower hot-pressing temperature, a short sintering time should be controlled in order to obtain SiC whiskerreinforced ZrB2 composite with high properties.

The Difference

The mechanical properties of Ni-YSZ cermets at high temperature in reduction atmosphere were evaluated by the four points bending method. We studied the influences of reduction and thermal cycles, i.e. a cycle from R.T. to 800°C, to flexural strength and Young’s modulus. The flexural strength of Ni-YSZ at room temperature was lower than that of NiO-YSZ by about 10 to 20% mainly caused by the increment of porosity. But, the flexural strength of Ni-YSZ at 800°C was drastically decreased by an half of that at R.T. In addition, the stress–strain diagram of Ni-YSZ at 800°C indicated that it showed weak ductility. The maximum observed strain was over 0.5% at 30MPa. On the contrary, NiO-YSZ showed only brittlely at 800°C. The difference was caused by Ni metal in the Ni-YSZ cermets. Therefore, it was expected that Ni-YSZ is easily deformed in operation, though residual stress between an anode and an electrolyte was low. The influence of thermal cycles to flexural strength and Young’s modulus was not observed clearly. At the same time, the differences of microstructure were not observed. Therefore, it was concluded that the cycle does not change mechanical properties significantly.

Grain Width

Silicon nitride samples without and with 3 wt% of the aligned b-silicon nitride whisker seeds were prepared with 8.2 wt% Er2O3 and 1.9 wt% AlN. After sintering at 2148 K for 4h, the samples exhibited densities higher than 99.5% TD. The microstructures and properties of the samples were compared with those of the samples sintered with 4.8 wt% Y2O3 and 2.2 wt% Al2O3 at 2273 K for 4h. For samples without the whiskers, the sample with 4.8 wt% Y2O3 + 2.2 wt% Al2O3 had coarser microstructures than those with with 8.2 wt% Er2O3 + 1.9 wt% AlN. However, the samples with the whisker seeds, the former sample appeared to have only slightly larger grains than the latter sample in spite of the significant difference in the sintering temperatures. For the samples without the whisker seeds, the room temperature flexural strength was higher for the sample with Er2O3 + AlN. However, for the samples with the aligned whisker seeds, the sample with Y2O3 + Al2O3 exhibited higher room temperature flexural strength than that with Er2O3 + AlN although the average grain width of the former sample was larger than that of the latter sample. In case of the high temperature flexural strength at 1673 K, the flexural strengths of the samples with the whisker seeds were higher than double the strengths of the samples without the whisker seeds. For samples without the whisker seeds, the sample with Er2O3 + AlN exhibited better mechanical properties than that with Y2O3 + Al2O3. However, for the samples with the aligned whisker seeds, the sample with Y2O3 + Al2O3 exhibited better mechanical properties than those with Er2O3 + AlN. The results were explained in terms of the microstructures of the samples.

Two similar mixes were made with cement contents of about 350 kg/m3 and a water–cement ratio of 0.50. The concrete specimens, moist cured for 7 days, were cured in air for 28 and 120 days, respectively, prior to heating. The exposure temperatures were 75, 150, 300, and 450 °C. The periods of exposure at each temperature were 2, 30, and 120 days.The compressive strengths, before heating, of the specimens cured for 35 and 120 days were 41.0 and 46.2 MPa, respectively, and the flexural strengths were 4.9 and 5.8 MPa. Compared with those strengths, the strengths of the specimens heated for 30 days or more increased at 75 °C but decreased at higher temperatures. The losses increased with increase in temperature, reaching about 30% at 450 °C.The flexural strength of the concrete cured in air for 28 days was more adversely affected than was the compressive strength. The flexural and compressive strengths of the concrete cured in air for 120 days were affected to about the same degree. The longer curing period had little effect on the relative losses in compressive strength, but the longer curing period reduced the loss in flexural strength. In most applications, the loss in strength could be compensated by proportioning the mix to overdesign for strength.

High Temperature Mechanical Properties

This paper investigated the high temperature mechanical properties of the hybrid fiber reinforced high performance concrete (HFHPC) and normal concrete (NC) .After being subjected to different elevated heating temperatures, two kinds of concretes have been tested for the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of test specimen at room temperature and 200 °C,400 °C,600 °C,800 °C.Microstructure changes of concrete were also observed by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) after high temperature. The results show that the hybrid fiber can significantly increase mechanical properties of the concrete at room temperature and high temperature. SEM and XRD analysis shows that there is a permeable diffusion layer in the steel fiber surface because of solid state reaction in the Interfacial Transition Zone of steel fiber and concrete. This permeable diffusion layer is white, bright, serrated and mainly consist of FeSi2 and the complex hydrated calcium silicate. The compounds of this layer change the Interfacial Transition Zone structure, enhance bonding capacity of the steel fiber and matrix, and increase the high temperature mechanical properties of concrete.

In order to understand the influence of the mechanisms of ZrC nanoparticles on the high-temperature mechanical properties of C-SiC ceramic matrix composites, the mechanical properties were measured from room temperature (RT) to 1600 °C under vacuum. The microstructures features were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. In comparison with the composites without ZrC nanoparticles, the ZrC-modified composite presented better mechanical properties at all temperatures, indicating that the mechanical properties could be improved by the ZrC nanoparticles. The ZrC nanoparticles could reduce the residual silicon and improve the microstructure integrity of composite. Furthermore, the variation of flexural strength and the flexural modulus showed an asynchronous trend with the increase of temperature. The flexural strength reached the maximum value at 1200 °C, but the highest elastic modulus was obtained at 800 °C. The strength increase was ascribed to the decrease of the thermally-induced residual stresses. The degradation of mechanical properties was observed at 1600 °C because of the microstructure deterioration and the formation of strongly bonded fiber–matrix interface. Therefore, it is concluded that the high temperature mechanical properties under vacuum were related to the consisting phase, the matrix microstructure, and the thermally-induced residual stresses.

The Given

The high temperature mechanical properties in a glass-ceramic sealant of BaO-B2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 system was studied by four-point bending test at room temperature, 550°C, 600°C, 650°C, and 700°C, to investigate the variation of Young’s modulus, flexural strength, and stress relaxation. Weibull statistic analysis was applied to describe the fracture strength of the given glass ceramic. The crystalline phase was produced by controlled heat treatment and analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the flexural strength was enhanced at high temperatures when the testing temperature was below the glass transition temperature (Tg). This was presumably due to a crack healing effect taking place at high temperature. Significant stress relaxation for the given glass ceramic was observed to generate extremely large deformation without breaking the specimens when the testing temperature was set at 700°C.
