The present work observed and analyzed the microstructures of various starting powders including SiC, AlN-R (Y / La) 2O3 as additives for LPSing (Liquid Phase Sintering), B/C additives for SSSing (Solid State Sintering), as well as the spray granulated powders as comparison, by using scanning electron microscopy SEM. The microstructure of molded green bodies was also posted. Present paper opens out the characters of the various perfect and defect of microstructures of these samples. Their effect on the processing and properties of SiC ceramics was analyzed and discussed.

A part of the Al–Cu–Co phase diagram adjacent to the Al13Co4 composition was studied at 800 °C by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffractometry. The homogeneity region of the Al13Co4 phase was found to extend up to 6 at. % Cu. At 800 °C this phase is in equilibrium with Al(Co, Cu), Al5Co2, Al9Co2, the decagonal phase, and a liquid phase. The existence of the Y-phase and Al3Co was not confirmed at this temperature.

High speed steels processed by Powder Metallurgy (PM) techniques present better mechanical properties when compared with similar steels obtained by the conventional process of cast to ingot and hot working. PM techniques produce improved microstructures with smaller and better distribution of carbides. Liquid phase sintering high speed steel seems to be a cheaper processing route in the manufacturing of tool steels if compared to the well-known and expansive hot isostatic pressing high speed steels. The introduction of niobium as alloying element began with the object of replacing elements like vanadium (V) and tungsten (W). Phase liquid sintering consists in a manufacturing technique to process high speed steels by powder metallurgy. The aim of this work of research is to process and obtain AISI M2 and M3:2 with and without the addition of niobium carbide by high energy milling, cold uniaxial compaction and vacuum sintering in the presence of a liquid phase. The powders of the AISI M2 and M3:2 were processed by high energy milling adding a small quantity of niobium carbide (6% in mass), then the powders were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron Microscopy (SEM) plus energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS) in order to evaluate the milling process. The powders of the AISI M2 and M3:2 with the addition of niobium carbide (NbC) were uniaxially cold compacted and then submitted to vacuum sintering. The sintered samples had their microstructure, porosity and carbide distribution observed and evaluated by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the mechanical property of hardness was investigated by means of Vickers hardness tests. At least five samples of each steel were investigated.

The joint copper-alumina obtained at a solidification condition of Cu/Cu2O eutectic was studied. Experiments involved many different techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry, X-ray microanalysis, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was observed that a thin inhomogeneous interfacial layer is present between Cu and Al2O3 ceramics and it consists of two sublayers: the first is nanocrystalline complex oxide CuAlO2. This layer changes progressively into a crystalline CuAl2O4 sublayer. A model of liquid phase bonding between copper and alumina is proposed.

Typically, Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductors have a peculiar crystal platelet morphology caused by preferred orientations during crystal growth. Aligned platelets can be formed by reaction between Pb-Bi-O and a ceramic precursor, such as SrCaCu2O4+y. The alignment is due to gravitational pull on the liquid phase during sintering. The processing, microstructure and superconducting transport properties of these aligned BSCCO materials have been characterized. Scanning electron microscopy shows that thick, fiber-textured, films grow in single domains. Zero resistivity at 100 K was observed in a textured specimen sintered for 100 hours. With differential thermal analysis, the flux action of lead, which accelerates the kinetics of Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O 10+y formation, is understood.
