A combination of continuum models and experiments is used to investigate the deformation of individual particles during hot pressing. Results are described for both monosized and bimodal particle distributions, including a simple bimodal composite system. The effects of pressure and temperature on the densification rate, particle shape, and stress and strain fields are described. The detailed strain fields calculated by the model are useful for predicting microstructural development during the pressing process and thus can aid in the design of optimal pressing cycles.

[Si–Y–O–C–N] amorphous powders were synthesized by the pyrolysis at 1000 °C in N2 of chemically modified perhydropolysilazane using n-decyl alcohol and yttrium tri-methoxide. [Si–Y–O–C–N] amorphous powders yielded a unique fibrous microstructure by heat treatment in N2 at 1800 °C. The fibrous microstructure was composed of β–Si3N4 whiskers of submicron in diameter and more than 10 μm in length. Fully dense Si3N4 –SiC–Y2O3 ceramics were also fabricated by heat treatment at 1800 °C followed by powder-vehicle hot pressing at 1700 °C. After these two-step processings, [Si–Y–O–C–N] amorphous powders yielded a unique fine-grained microstructure composed of submicron grains with high aspect ratio.

The influence of the filament microstructure on the critical current density values, Jc, of Nb-Ti multifilamentary superconducting composites has been well documented. However the development of these microstructures during composite processing is still under investigation.During manufacture, the multifilamentary composite is given several heat treatments interspersed in the wire-drawing schedule. Typically, these heat treatments are for 5 to 80 hours at temperatures between 523 and 573K. A short heat treatment of approximately 3 hours at 573K is usually given to the wire at final size. Originally this heat treatment was given to soften the copper matrix, but recent work has shown that it can markedly change both the Jc value and microstructure of the composite.

Practical applications of bulk YBa2Cu3O7−x materials have been limited because of their inadequate critical current density (jc) and poor mechanical properties. Several recent reports have indicated that the addition of Ag to the YBa2Cu3O7−x system is beneficial in improving both mechanical and superconducting properties. However, detailed studies concerning the effect of Ag on the microstructural development of the cermet system have been lacking. Here, we present some observations on the microstructural evolution in the YBa2Cu3O7−x/Ag composite system.The composite samples were prepared by mixing various amounts (2.5 - 50 wt%) AgNO3 in the YBa2Cu3O7−x nitrate precursor solution. These solutions were then spray dried and the resulting powders were either cold pressed or tape cast. The microstructures of the sintered samples were analyzed using SEM (Philips 515) and an analytical TEM (Philips 430T).The SEM micrographs of the compacts with 2.5 and 50 wt% Ag addition sintered at 915°C (below the melting point of Ag) for 1 h in air are displayed in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively.
