AbstractThe in situ nano Ta4HfC5 reinforced SiBCN-Ta4HfC5 composite ceramics were prepared by a combination of two-step mechanical alloying and reactive hot-pressing sintering. The microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the resulting SiBCN-Ta4HfC5 were studied. After the first-step milling of 30 h, the raw materials of TaC and HfC underwent crushing, cold sintering, and short-range interdiffusion to finally obtain the high pure nano Ta4HfC5. A hybrid structure of amorphous SiBCN and nano Ta4HfC5 was obtained by adopting a second-step ball-milling. After reactive hot-pressing sintering, amorphous SiBCN has crystallized to 3C-SiC, 6H-SiC, and turbostratic BN(C) phases and Ta4HfC5 retained the form of the nanostructure. With the in situ generations of 2.5 wt% Ta4HfC5, Ta4HfC5 is preferentially distributed within the turbostratic BN(C); however, as Ta4HfC5 content further raised to 10 wt%, it mainly distributed in the grain-boundary of BN(C) and SiC. The introduction of Ta4HfC5 nanocrystals can effectively improve the flexural strength and fracture toughness of SiBCN ceramics, reaching to 344.1 MPa and 4.52 MPa·m1/2, respectively. This work has solved the problems of uneven distribution of ultra-high temperature phases in the ceramic matrix, which is beneficial to the real applications of SiBCN ceramics.

Due to promising results in literature, SiC-Si3N4 particle composites in the range 0–100 percent SiC were evaluated. Focusing on high-temperature properties, mainly Y2O3 was used as sintering additive. Consolidation occurred primarily by hot-pressing, sintering tests were performed for comparison. Besides short-term properties like strength, toughness etc., long-term properties like creep and oxidation behavior were determined. Results as a function of SiC-content and microstructure were discussed with respect to materials’ performance at high temperatures and possibilities of their production on a technical scale.

Si3N4 ceramics have been fabricated through pressureless sintering and hot-pressing sintering with MgSiN2-Y2O3 or only MgSiN2 as sintering additive, respectively. The effects of MgSiN2 and Y2O3 and sintering methods on sintering properties of Si3N4 ceramics were studied. The results indicate that the bend strength of Si3N4 ceramic with 5.6wt.%MgSiN2-15.8wt.%Y2O3 sintered at 1820°C for 4h could achieve 839MPa. The bend strength of Si3N4 ceramic with 4.76wt.%MgSiN2 produced by hot-pressing sintering at 1750°C for 1h under uniaxial pressure of 20MPa is 1149MPa. The thermal conductivity of the Si3N4 ceramic was 92Wm-1K-1 and could remarkably increase to 129Wm-1K-1 by prolonging the sintering time from 1 h to 12 h. The present work demonstrated that MgSiN2 additives and hot-pressing sintering were effective to improve the thermal conductivity of Si3N4 ceramic.

WC-10Co-0.8VC nanocrystalline powders were sintered by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot pressing sintering (HPS), and the microstructure and properties were compared. Results show that, sintered at 1300°C, the sample prepared by SPS for only 3 minutes has higher density than that prepared by HPS for 60 minutes. SEM and SPM observation shows SPS at 1200°C has a more uniform and finer microstructure, and most of the WC grains are smaller than 100nm. It has a relative density of 95.1%, HV30 of 1887, and KIC of 11.5 MPam1/2. If a suitable sintering parameter is chosen, SPS is a promising consolidation technique to prepare nanocrystalline WC-10Co-0.8VC with improved properties.
