From many experiments with mixtures of small and large grains, it can be concluded that during liquid phase sintering, smaller grains partially dissolve and a solid phase precipitates on the larger grains and grain coarsening occurs. The growth rate can be controlled either by the solid-liquid phase boundary reaction or by diffusion through the liquid phase. The microstructure may change either by larger grains growing during the Ostwald ripening process or by shape accommodation. In this study, two-dimensional mathematical approach for simulation of grain coarsening by grain boundary migration based on a physical and corresponding numerical modeling of liquid phase sintering will be considered. A combined mathematical method of analyzing viscous deformation and solute diffusion in liquid bridge between two grains with different sizes will be proposed. The viscous FE method will be used for calculating meniscus of the liquid bridge, with the interfacial tensions taken into consideration. The FE method for diffusion will be also implemented by using the same mesh as the deformation analysis.

The interaction of components and structure formation were studied in liquid phase sintering of Co-Sn and Co-Sn-Cu powder materials. The powders of commercially pure metals were mixed with an organic binder and applied on the steel substrate. Sintering was performed under vacuum at temperatures of 820 and 1100 °C. The structure of sintered alloys was investigated by X-ray diffractometry and electron probe microanalysis, and microhardness (HV0.01) of the structural components was measured. It has been found that the nature of interaction of the liquid tin with the solid phase at the initial stage of sintering affects the formation of structure and porosity of Co-Sn and Co-Sn-Cu alloys considerably. In Co-Sn alloys, diffusion of tin into cobalt particles leads to the formation of intermetallic compounds, which hinders spreading of the liquid phase. This results in a porous defect structure formed in Co-Sn alloys. In Co-Sn-Cu alloys, at the initial stage of sintering the liquid phase enriched with copper is formed that wets the cobalt particles and contributes to their regrouping. As a result of this, materials with minor porosity are formed.

Alumina reinforced aluminum matrix composites (Al-5wt.%Si-Al2O3) fabricated by powder metallurgy through hot isotactic pressing were sintered in different processes, i.e. solid and liquid phase sintering. Optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques were used to characterize the sintered composites. The effects of solid phase and liquid phase sintering on density, microstructure, microhardness, compression and shear strength were investigated. It was found that in situ chemical reaction was completed in solid phase sintering, but the composites had lower microhardness, comprehension and shear strength due to low density and segregation of alumina and Si particles in microstructure. Segregation of reinforcement particles in solid phase sintering resulted from character of solid reaction and Si diffusion at high temperature over a long hold time.

In recent years, a range of computer simulation models leading to a better understanding of liquid phase sintering phenomena, have been developed with the aim of simulating the detailed evolution of microstructure during grain growth. Some liquid phase sintered materials show both macrostructural and microstructural effects associated with gravity force. Therefore we will develop a numerical procedure for the estimation of how much gravity will influence domain (two-dimensional particle representation) growth, domain boundary migration and solid skeleton formation due to gravity induced segregation during liquid phase sintering. The method used for the simulation of a gravity field will be based on the settling procedure. Gravity induced settling will be separated into two stages - Free Settling and Skeletal Settling. Isolated solid phase domains fall under gravity and slide down over the already settled domains (free settling). During settling they make point contacts with each other. Necks between them then form and start to grow until the equilibrium dihedral angle between the domain boundaries and the liquid is established. Thus a solid skeleton forms and skeletal settling of a connected solid structure takes place. .

The liquid-phase sintering at 1860‒2100 °C was used to prepare the silicon-carbide materials with the 5‒10 weigh percent of oxide additions. The SiC material with the 20 weigh percent of three-component MgO‒Y2O3‒Al2O3system addition showed the ultimate physical and mechanical properties. The mechanical characteristics of the liquidphase sintered materials with the 15 weigh percent of the three-component oxides addition exceed those of both the reactive-sintered and the solid-phase sintered materials and approach to those of the hot-pressed materials.Ill. 5.

Abstract To be able to successfully produce ceramic-reinforced aluminum matrix composites by using the powder metallurgy method, the wetting of ceramic reinforcements should be increased. In addition, the negative effects of the oxide layer of the aluminum matrix on sinterability should be minimized. In order to break the oxide layer, the deoxidation property of Mg can be used. Furthermore, by creating a liquid phase, both wettability and sinterability can be improved. In this study, the effects of Mg and Cu alloy elements and sintering phase on the wettability, sinterability, and mechanical properties of Al/B4C composites were investigated. For this purpose, various amounts (5, 10, 20, and 30 wt.-%) of B4C reinforced Al5Cu and Al5Mg matrix composites were produced by the powder metallurgy method. After pressing under 400 MPa pressure, composite samples were sintered for 4 hours. The sintering was carried out in two different groups as solid phase sintering at 560 °C and liquid phase sintering at 610 °C. Despite the deoxidation effect of Mg in Al5Mg matrix composites, higher mechanical properties were determined in Al5Cu composites which were sintered in liquid phase because wettability increased. The highest mechanical properties were obtained in the 20 wt.-% B4C reinforced Al5Cu sample sintered in liquid phase.

The article gives the results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies of the structure of ceramic matrix composite materials produced from iron ore waste. It is established that inside the matrix and the granules during the firing the processes of solid-phase and liquid-phase sintering with formation of new mineral phases take place. It is shown that in the matrix a liquid phase is formed, which fills intergranular cells and binds the particles of minerals together.

LiTa2PO8 (LTPO) is a new solid-state lithium ion electrolyte material reported in the latest research, which has high bulk ionic conductivity and low grain boundary ion conductivity. However, it is difficult to density with conventional sintering methods. Herein, in this work, the solid-phase synthesis method was used to prepared the LTPO solid-state electrolyte, and the influence of the amount of lithium on the structure and performance of LTPO electrolyte material was investigated. The results show that the excess Li2O does not increase other impurities and does not change the structure of the material, but the liquid phase produced by the excess Li2O can promote the elimination of interfacial pores, accelerate the direct bonding of grains and improve the ionic conductivity of grain boundary, thus improving the overall ionic conductivity of the material. Considering the volatilization of lithium and the impact of liquid phase sintering at high temperatures and the content restructuring, after adding 20 wt% excess formulation of Li2O, the resultant of LTPO density is 5.0 g/cm3, the density reaches 85.58%. As a result, the total ionic conductivity of the electrolyte is 3.28 × 10–4 S/cm at 25°C, and the Li-ion diffusion activation energy is 0.27 eV. In addition, after loading this electrolyte into a Li–Li symmetric battery, it is proved that the electrolyte has lithium ion transport performance and can be used in all-solid-state batteries. However, it is also found from cyclic voltammetry (CV) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis that the interface between LTPO material and Li is unstable, and Ta5+ ions are reduced, which will be another key issue to be addressed in the future.

In this paper, we investigated numerically gravity induced skeletal settling during liquid phase sintering. The microstructural evolution will be simulated by simultaneous computation of displacement of the center of mass and mass transport due to dissolution and precipitation at the interfaces between solid-phase and liquid matrix. Common to this study based on domain methodology for definition of regular multi-domain model will be the need to relate some diffusional phenomena to essential geometric and topological attributes of the W-Ni porous microstructure influenced by skeletal settling combined with extrication of some solid-phase domains during liquid phase sintering.

The processes of iron oxides’ reduction have a complex physicochemical mechanism, with the participation of solid, liquid, and gaseous substances. The article discusses the existing models for the reduction of iron oxides and provides data on the thermodynamic possibility of carrying out the reactions of their reduction through the solid and gas phases. Experimental data on the reduction of iron from industrial scale, obtained by the DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) method, show the kinetic dependence of the rate and completeness of recovery on external factors: pressing pressure during sample preparation and the reagents’ composition. The pressing pressure, under conditions of iron ions’ solid-phase diffusion, has the significant effect by increasing the reagents’ contact area. Under conditions of iron ions’ comprehensive diffusion, the pressing pressure does not affect the reduction processes rate. The introduction of 10 mass.% flux into the raw mixture composition leads to a partially liquid-phase diffusion of iron ions and weakens the effect of the pressing pressure in this process. An ion diffusion-catalytic mechanism is proposed to describe the observed effects during the reduction of iron oxide of technogenic origin.
