In this paper, a new type of Ti3SiC2/Cu composites with the volume fractions of 30% Ti3SiC2 particle was prepared by hot pressing and vacuum sintering respectively. The effects of sintering temperature and holding time on the density, resistance and Vickers hardness of Cu-30vol%Ti3SiC2 composite were investigated. The results show that the mechanical properties of the composites prepared by hot pressing are better than that prepared by vacuum sintering. The relative densities of Cu-30vol% Ti3SiC2 composites are rather high in suitable sintering conditions. It achieved 100% for the composites prepared by hot pressing at 930°C for 2h, and 98.4% for the composites prepared by vacuum sintering at 1250°C for 1h. At the same time, the maximum Vickers hardness reached 1735MPa at 900°C by hot pressing. The resistance and Vickers hardness of the composites decreased with an increase in sintering temperature, whereas the density increased. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to observe the microstructure of the composites. The relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties was discussed.

TiC/Ti3AlC2 composites were successfully prepared by hot-pressing sintering method from the elemental powder mixtures of Ti, Al and TiC. A possible reaction mechanism was investigated by XRD. The density, Vickers hardness, flexural strength, and fracture toughness of the TiC/Ti3AlC2 composites were also measured. At 660 °C, Al melted and reacted with Ti to form TiAl3. At 900 °C, TiAl3 reacted with TiC and Ti to form Ti2AlC. At 1100 °C, Ti2AlC reacted with TiC to form Ti3AlC2. Increasing the sintering temperature, the content of Ti3AlC2 increased. The TiC/Ti3AlC2 composites had excellent performance after sintered at 1100 °C, the density, Vickers hardness, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composite were 4.35 g/cm3, 4.72 GPa, 566 MPa and 6.18 MPa·m1/2, respectively.

This work presents the possibility of obtaining high density austenitic stainless steel parts by powder metallurgy (PM) and sintered in vacuum. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield stress, elongation rate and Vickers hardness were measured by using a tensile testing machine and a Vickers hardness tester at room temperature. Microstructural characterization was performed by means of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of sintering temperature on densification and mechanical properties of PM austenitic stainless steel has been investigated. The results show that density and mechanical properties were increased with the increase of sintering temperature, but when the sintering temperature is above 1340 °C, they increased slowly. The highest mechanical properties were obtained when sintering temperature was 1340 °C.

The Titanium-doped tungsten trioxide (Ti/WO3) targets with high density was prepared by sintering in oxygen atmosphere. The density, bending strength and Vickers hardness were measured. The morphologies and microstructures were characterized by XRD and SEM. The Ti/WO3 targets were used to prepare the film by magnetron sputtering .The film was characterized by Ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The results showed that 1040°C was the best sintering temperature for making Ti/WO3 ceramic targets. The relative density of the target was up to 92.18%. The visible light transmittance of the Ti/WO3 thin films reduced quickly along with the reduction of wavelength. Two absorb peaks at the wavelength of 384 nm and 480 nm were found, which would play an important role in making electro-chromic materials.

Al2O3-TiN nanocomposite ceramic tool materials were fabricated by hot-pressing technique and the mechanical properties were measured. Mechanical properties such as room temperature flexural strength, Vickers hardness and fracture toughness were measured through three-point bending test and Vickers indentation. The effects of the content of nano-scale TiN, sintering temperature and holding time on the mechanical properties were investigated. The results shows that the addition of nano-scale TiN can improve the mechanical properties of alumina ceramics. Both the flexural strength and the fracture toughness first increased then decreased with an increment in the content of nano-scale TiN. Both the Vickers hardness and the fracture toughness increased with an increment in the sintering temperature. The flexural strength increased with an increment in the holding time, while the fracture toughness decreased with an increment in the holding time. The composites with only nano-scale TiN have the highest Vickers hardness for the holding time of 30min, while the hardness of the composites with nano-scale TiN and micro-scale TiN decreased with an increment in the holding time.

The sintering behavior and the mechanical properties of a mechanical mixture of hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics with the composition of 30% HA and 70% TCP are experimentally investigated in the temperature range between 1000°C and 1300°C. The results show that consolidation, grain growth, and Vickers hardness generally increase with increasing sintering temperature up to 1200°C. However, microstructure observation indicates that cracks are formed along the grain boundaries as well as in the bulk of the grains after sintering at 1200°C. Moreover, the best values of compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and toughness are achieved in the samples sintered at 1100°C. These properties at 1100°C decay with sintering at 1200°C and increase again after sintering at 1300°C.

TiAl alloy has become a key element in aerospace and automotive engine development due to its favorable high temperature mechanical properties and low density. In this paper, high performance TiAl alloy was prepared using atomized Ti-48Al-2Cr-8Nb powder by spark plasma sintering. This paper analyzed the variation of density, microstructure, Vickers hardness, and fracture strength of TiAl alloys prepared with spherical pre-alloyed powder (named as SP powder) and pre-alloyed powder after 12 h of ball milling (named as MP powder) at different sintering temperatures. The results indicate that the density, Vickers hardness, and room temperature (25 °C) bending strength of Ti-48Al-2Cr-8Nb alloy sintered using MP powder, are significantly higher than that of TiAl alloy sintered using SP powder. Specifically, the densification temperature of the MP powder sintered specimen is reduced by 100 °C, the Vickers hardness is increased by 15%, and the room temperature bending strength is increased by 51.9% at a sintering temperature of 1250 °C. The microstructure analysis shows that the Ti-48Al-2Cr-8Nb alloy has the best bending strength when it has a fine grain phase structure.

The effect of flyash (FA) additions of 0.05 wt% to 1 wt% on yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP), sintered in air at temperatures ranging from 1250°C to 1500°C, was examined. The bulk density, Young’s modulus, Vickers hardness and fracture toughness for each addition were determined while ageing behaviour were observed by subjecting them to superheated steam at 180°C/10 bar in an autoclave for 24 hours. Additions of FA, particularly of 0.05 wt% and 0.1 wt%, were found to be beneficial in aiding densification and increasing Young’s modulus beyond 200 GPa for sintering temperatures up to 1350°C. A common trend was observed for the Vickers hardness of all additions including undoped; hardness continues to rise from 1250°C and peaked at 1350°C before gradually decreasing as the sintering temperature increases further. No pronounced effect of flyash was seen on the fracture toughness of all samples. The ageing resistance of Y-TZP improved with addition of FA resulting in relatively lower amount of ageing-induced tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation exhibited by doped samples compared to the undoped.
