Ceramic materials are widely studied for their high temperature structural applications. In many crystalline ceramics the range of solid solution decreases with temperature and thus precipitation of a second phase occurs. Thus, ceramics can be hardened by precipitation of second phases. However little is known regarding the effect of precipitation and nanocrystalline grain structure in the ductility of ceramic materials. On the other hand, oxide ceramics are under intense-investigation for their technological advantages in magnetization, dielectric response and chemical stability in such diverse uses as magnetic recording media, induction cores and microwave resonant circuits. This investigation has been undertaken to produce, characterize and measure the properties of ceramics that can be hardened by precipitation. The selected systems include Fe(1-x)O-Fe3 and MgO MgFe2O4. Mechanical milling is used to produce nanocrystalline ceramic oxides in the systems Fe(1-x)O-Fe3 and MgO-MgFe2O4 The mechanically alloyed powders are consolidated by means of spark plasma sintering (SPS) at temperatures ranging from 673 K to 1273 K and a pressure varying from 500 to 50 MPa in vacuum.

Metal matrix nanocomposites are advanced materials developed using ceramic nanoreinforcements and nanocrystalline metal matrices. These composites have outstanding properties and high potential for large number of functional and structural applications. In this work, nanocrystalline aluminium and Al-Al2O3nanocomposites were synthesised using mechanical alloying and consolidated through spark plasma sintering technique. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and mapping were used to characterize the powders and sintered samples. Density and hardness of sintered samples were measured using densimeter and hardness tester, respectively. It was found that milling of pure aluminium for 24 h reduced its crystallite size to less than 100 nm. For Al-Al2O3nanocomposites, milling for 24 h decreased the crystallite size of the aluminium phase and resulted in uniform dispersion of the reinforcement. Sintering of the synthesised powders led to grain growth. Al2O3contributed to growth inhibition when samples were sintered for 20 minutes and improved the hardness but reduced densification. The Al-10 vol.%  Al2O3nanocomposite had the highest Vickers hardness value of 1460 MPa.

ABSTRACTThis investigation deals with the production process and the characterization of ceramic materials consisting of magnetic particles in an insulating matrix. Composites made of magnetite particles (Fe3O4 or MgFe2O4) in a wüstite or magnesiowüstite matrix (FexO or Mg1-xFexO), respectively, have been produced by means of mechanical milling and spark plasma sintering. As-milled powders have a nanocrystalline structure in both systems. As a function of milling time, low energy milling gives rise to an increasingly higher volume fraction of wüstite in the FexO-Fe3O4 system while it promotes increasing amounts of magnesiowüstite (MgxFe1-xO). Sintering is performed from 673 to 1273 K in vacuum. Sintering at low temperatures allows retention of nanosized grains containing a fine dispersion of magnetic particles in a wüstite and magnesiowüstite matrix. Measurement of magnetic properties reflects the constitution of the sintered samples and the effect of grain size. It also allows determination of the transformation sequence both during mechanical milling and sintering

Sintering Method

This paper describes the main methods for improving the mechanical properties of ceramic materials based on zirconium and hafnium diborides, such as strength and crack resistance. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the sintering method, as well as additives introduced into the powder composition, in particular hard fibers, second-phase powder particles and “whiskers”, on the mechanical characteristics of the ceramics. On the basis of the analysis of literature data, it is shown that the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method allows to obtain ceramic samples with increased mechanical characteristics due to their high density and low defects. The addition of silicon carbide filamentous crystals or fibers to the ceramics can increase the crack resistance of the sintered material up to 6.0–8.5 MPa×m1/2. These conclusions can be useful in the development of ultra-high-temperature ceramic materials.

Nano-Y2O3 reinforced Ti-47.7Al-7.1Nb-(V, Cr) alloy was fabricated by a powder metallurgy route using spark plasma sintering (SPS), and the influence of nano-Y2O3 contents on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated systematically. The results revealed that the ultimate tensile strength and elongation of the alloy were 570 ± 28 MPa and 1.7 ± 0.6% at 800 °C, 460 ± 23 MPa and 6.1 ± 0.4% at 900 °C with no nano-Y2O3, 662 ± 24 MPa and 5.5 ± 0.5% at 800 °C, and 466 ± 25 MPa and 16.5 ± 0.8% at 900 °C with 0.05 at% nano-Y2O3 addition, respectively. Due to the fine-grain strengthening and the second-phase strengthening, both tensile strength and elongation of the high-Nb TiAl alloy were enhanced with the addition of nano-Y2O3.

Calcium ruthenates were prepared in different ratios of Ru to Ca (RRu/Ca = 0.5～1.4) by spark plasma sintering. CaRuO3 in a single phase was obtained at RRu/Ca = 1.0. At RRu/Ca < 1.0, a mixture of CaRuO3 and CaO was obtained, whereas CaRuO3 with second phase of RuO2 was obtained at RRu/Ca > 1.0. The density at RRu/Ca < 1.0 were 80-85% and slightly increased with increasing RRu/Ca. The density significantly increased up to 95% with increasing RRu/Ca from 1.1 to 1.4, suggesting that the second phase of RuO2 was effective to densify CaRuO3. The density of CaRuO3 in a single phase was 82% at most. The lattice parameters of CaRuO3 decreased with increasing RRu/Ca from 0.7 to 1.0, showing a nonstoichiometric range of Ca1+δRuO3+δ.

The mechanically alloyed Al82La10Ni4Fe4 glassy powder displays a two-step devitrification characterized by the precipitation of fcc-Al together with small amounts of the intermetallic Al11La3 phase in the first crystallization. The interface-controlled growth mechanism governed the first crystallization event. Calculations of the activation energy, using the methods of Kissinger, Ozawa, and Augis-Bennett gave values of 432.33, 443.2, and 437.76 kJ/mol, respectively. The calculated Avrami exponent (n) for the first crystallization peak was about 1.41, suggesting an almost zero nucleation rate. On the other hand, the value of n for the second peak related to the residual amorphous phase completely transformed into the intermetallic phase Al11La3 was about 3.61, characterizing diffusion controlled three-dimensional crystal growth with an increasing nucleation rate. Samples sintered at 573 K kept an amorphous structure and exhibited a high compressive strength of 650 MPa with a maximum elongation of 2.34% without any plastic deformation. The failure morphology of the sintered sample surface presented a transparticle fracture mechanism, indicating the efficiency of the sintering processing.

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has excellent biocompatibility with living bone tissue and does not cause defensive body reactions, therefore, it has become one of the most widely used calcium phosphate materials in dental and medical fields. However, its poor mechanical properties have been a substantial challenge in the application of HAP for the replacement of load-bearing or large bone defects. Laminated HAP–45S5 bioglass ceramics composites were prepared by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The interface structures between the HAP and 45S5 bioglass layers and the mechanical properties of the laminated composites were investigated. It was demonstrated that there was mutual transfer and exchange of Ca and Na atoms at the interface between 45S5 bioglass/HAP laminated layers, which contributed considerably to the interfacial bonding. Due from the laminated structure and strong interface bonding, laminated HAP–45S5 bioglass is recommended for structural applications.

Summarizing the work of nearly a decade of research on spark plasma sintering (SPS), a review is given on the specificities and key factors to be considered in SPS of ceramic materials, based on the authors’ own research. Alumina is used primarily as a model material throughout the review. Intrinsic inhomogeneities linked to SPS and operational parameters, which depend on the generation of atomistic scale defects, are discussed in detail to explain regularly observed inhomogeneities reported in literature. Adopting an engineering approach to overcome these inherent issues, a successful processing path is laid out towards the mastering of SPS in a wide range of research and industrial settings.

The effect of processing conditions on microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe-Al-Si powders was studied by means of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation. Fe-Al-Si alloy powder was prepared from pure elemental powders by mechanical alloying. Microstructure and mechanical properties of powders were characterized after various durations of mechanical alloying. Special sample preparation technique was developed allowing to characterize the properties of individual powder particles after each step of processing in a planetary ball mill. This step-by-step characterization allowed to find the optimum conditions for subsequent spark plasma sintering.
