In order to investigate the effects of TiN content on Al2O3/TiN ceramic material (ATN), the ATN ceramic materials were prepared of TiN content in 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% in the condition of hot press sintering. The sintering temperature is 1700°C, the sintering press is 32MPa, and the holding time are 5min, 10min, 15min. The effects of TiN content on mechanical properties and microstructure of ATN ceramic materials were investigated by analyzing the bending strength, hardness, fracture toughness. The results show that ATN50 has the best mechanical property, its bending strength is 659.41MPa, vickers hardness is 13.79GPa, fracture toughness is 7.06MPa·m1/2. It is indicated that the TiN content has important effect on microstructure and mechanical properties of ATN ceramic materials.

Nanostructured ceramic materials and compositions based on them find an increasing application in all branches of science and technology. At the same time, the performance properties of new ceramic nanomaterials (strength, adhesion, optical and others) are significantly different from properties of traditional ceramics, which were used before. The qualitative characteristics of nanoceramics are largely determined by the initial structure and methods of nanopowder synthesis, as well as by the characteristics of conditions and methods for their consolidation. This work is devoted to the synthesis of nanopowders and effective method of its sintering for the production of nanoceramic materials which have special mechanical properties, e.g. components with increased modulus of elasticity ("ceramic steel"), etc. It makes it possible to effectively use them in aerospace industry.

The mechanical properties and microstructure formation processes in Si3N4+3% AI2O3+5% Y2O3(Yb2O3) ceramic compacts sintered under microwave heating (MWH) and under traditional heating (TH) were investigated. The initial ceramic materials were powder blends of silicon nitride with oxides. The mean powder particle sizes were 0.5-1.0 mim. The content of alfa-phase in the Si3N4 powder was more than 95 %. The samples were sintered at 1800BC in nitrogen at normal pressure, the heating rate in all experiments was 60BC/min. The Vickers hardness (HV), fracture toughness (K1C) and bending strength (on) were determined. The microstructures of fracture surfaces of samples were studied by SEM. Quantitative microstructure analysis was carried out. It was shown that the values of HV and Kic of ceramic samples sintered under MWH at 1800BC rose steadily with the sintering time. This caused an increase in density, which reached maximum as fast as after 30 min of the MWH sintering; the mass loss at that time amounted to 3-4 %. The porosity of sintered samples with an addition of yttria was less than 1 %, that of ytterbia was greater, 2.4 %. For similar values of relative density, the hardness and fracture toughness of ceramic samples produced under MWH were higher as compared with those of samples sintered under TH. The microstructure of samples had the form of elongated grains in a matrix of polyhedral grains of the beta-Si3N4 phase. Measurements showed the mean size of grains in samples produced by MWH to be greater that in samples produced by TH. A larger number of elongated grains were formed. It was concluded that for sintering under MWH of Si3N4-based ceramics the growth of elongated beta-Si3N4 grains and formation of a "reinforced" microstructure were promoted and thereby improved the mechanical properties of such ceramics.

An increase the operating temperature range of structural elements and aircraft assemblies is one of the main goals in developing advanced and new models of aerospace equipment to improve their technical characteristics. The most heat-loaded aircraft structures, such as a combustion chamber, high-pressure turbine segments, nozzle flaps with a controlled thrust vector, must have a long service life under conditions of high temperatures, an oxidizing environment, fuel combustion products, and variable mechanical and thermal loads. At the same time, modern Ti and Ni-based superalloys have reached the limits of their operating temperatures. The leading world aircraft manufacturers — General Electric (USA), Rolls-Royce High Temperature Composite Inc. (USA), Snecma Propulsion Solide (France) — actively conduct fundamental research in developing ceramic materials with high (1300 – 1600°C) and ultrahigh (2000 – 2500°C) operating temperatures. However, ceramic materials have a number of shortcomings attributed to the high brittleness and low crack resistance of monolithic ceramics. Moreover, manufacturing of complex configuration and large-sized ceramic parts faces serious difficulties. Nowadays, ceramic composite materials with a high-temperature matrix (e.g., based on ZrC-SiC) and reinforcing filler, an inorganic fiber, (e.g., silicon carbide) appeared most promising for operating temperatures above 1200°C and exhibited enhanced energy efficiency. Ceramic fibers based on silicon compounds possess excellent mechanical properties: the tensile strength more than 2 GPa, modulus of elasticity more than 200 GPa, and thermal resistance at a temperature above 800°C, thus making them an essential reinforcing component in metal and ceramic composites. This review is devoted to silicon carbide core fibers obtained by chemical vapor deposition of silicon carbide onto a tungsten or carbon core, which makes it possible to obtain fibers a 100 – 150 μm in diameter to be used in composites with a metal matrix. The coreless SiC-fibers with a diameter of 10 – 20 μm obtained by molding a polymer precursor from a melt and used mainly in ceramic composites are also considered. A comparative analysis of the phase composition, physical and mechanical properties and thermal-oxidative resistance of fibers obtained by different methods is presented. Whiskers (filamentary crystals) are also considered as reinforcing fillers for composite materials along with their properties and methods of production. The prospects of using different fibers and whiskers as reinforcing fillers for composites are discussed.

Y.Ba2Cu3O7, a high TC superconductor powder, was shock compacted and explosively welded inside a copper matrix using the explosive fabrication methods described by Murr, Hare and Eror. The shock compression fabrication technique provides the ability to process the superconductor powders into useable structures that will minimize environmental degradation and will not negatively affect the physical or mechanical properties. Additionally, the introduction of shock induced defects are known to increase solid-state reactivity in ceramic materials. For this reason, shock compression fabrication of the superconductor/copper system offers the possibility of enhancing the superconducting properties of the YBa2Cu3O7 powders.

Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has been used for rapid prototyping due to its ability to produce parts with complex geometries from computer-aided design files. Currently, polymers and metals are the most commonly used materials for AM. However, ceramic materials have unique mechanical properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, and temperature resistance. This paper provides a review of recent AM techniques for ceramics such as extrusion-based AM, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured ceramics, and the applications of ceramics in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, energy, electronics, and medical. A detailed overview of binder-jetting, laser-assisted processes, laminated object manufacturing (LOM), and material extrusion-based 3D printing is presented. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in AM of ceramics are identified.

Red mud is the main solid residue generated during the production of alumina by means of the Bayer process. In order to expand the comprehensive utilization field of red mud and develop new ceramic products with low radioactivity utilizing red mud, the exploration of preparing self-releasing glaze ceramic materials using red mud as raw material was carried out. During the exploration, the self-releasing glaze ceramic materials with low radiation level were produced by normal pressure sintering process using the main ingredients of red mud, red sandstone, barium carbonate and ball clay. The properties of the self-releasing glaze ceramic samples were investigated by the measurements of mechanical properties, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and radiation measurement. The results show that the self-releasing glaze ceramic materials have good mechanical properties (the bulk density, 3.10 g/cm3; the compressive strength, 78.00 MPa). Adding barium carbonate to the raw materials and then calcine them to ceramics, which can extend the sintering temperature range and the radioactivity level of the self-releasing glaze ceramic materials can be reduced to that of the natural radioactive background of Guilin Area, Karst landform (the average 60 Total/Timer).
