β-Sialon/Ti(C,N) composites were prepared using low and middle grade bauxite and ilmenite as raw material,while coke as reducing agent in high purity nitrogen atmosphere through carbothermal reducrion-nitridation(CRN).The main phases of low and middle grade bauxite are kaolinire(Al2O3•2SiO2•2H2O) and (Al2O3•H2O)2 and ilmenite mainly contain ilmenite(FeTiO3) and rutile(TiO2).The reaction products of bauxite are the β-Sialon(Z=3,Si3Al3O3N5) while those of ilmenite are TiC and Fe.The results showed that the main phases are β-Sialon,Ti(C,N),Al2O3 and Fe when the reaction temperature is at 1400°C holding for 4 hours(10wt% ilmenite and 90wt% bauxite as raw material).However,β-Sialon decomposes into 21R at 1450°C and into 15R and AlN at 1500°C.So 1400°C is selected as the proper temperature to synthesize β-Sialon/Ti(C,N) composites.At 1400°C,the β-Sialon crystals with the largest quantity grow well and show long column in shape.With the increase of the reacrion temperature β-Sialon begin to decompose,the β-Sialon crystals change to short columnar,with the number decreasing quickly.

Abstract High-entropy boride-silicon carbide (HEB-SiC) ceramics were fabricated by using boride-based powders prepared from borothermal and boro/carbothermal reduction methods. The effects of processing routes (borothermal reduction and boro/carbothermal reduction) of HEB powders were examined. HEB-SiC ceramics with nearly relatively full density (>98%) were prepared by spark plasma sintering at 2000oC. It was demonstrated that the addition of SiC led to slightly coarsening of the microstructure. The HEB-SiC ceramics prepared from boro/carbothermal reduction powders showed the fine-grained microstructure and higher Vickers’ hardness but lower fracture toughness values as compared with the same composition prepared from borothermal reduction powders. These results indicated that the selection of the powder processing method and the addition of SiC phase could contribute to the optimal preparation of high-entropy boride-based ceramics.

β-silicon carbide (SiC) powders were synthesized by the carbothermal reduction of methyl-modified silica aerogel/carbon mixtures. The correlations between the phase evolution and morphologies of the SiC powders and the C/SiO2 ratio were investigated. At a C/SiO2 ratio of 3, β-SiC formed at 1425 °C and single-phase SiC powders were obtained at 1525 °C. The methyl groups (-CH3) on the silica aerogel surfaces played important roles in the formation of SiC during the carbothermal reduction. SiC could be synthesized from the silica aerogel/carbon mixtures under lower temperature and C/SiO2 ratios than those needed for quartz or hydrophilic silica. The morphology of the SiC powder depended on the C/SiO2 ratio. A low C/SiO2 ratio resulted in β-SiC powder with spherical morphology, while agglomerates consisting of fine SiC particles were obtained at the C/SiO2 ratio of 3. High-purity SiC powder (99.95%) could be obtained with C/SiO2 = 0.5 and 3 at 1525 °C for 5 h.

Abstract In the current work fine-grained dual-phase, high-entropy ceramics (Ti0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2Nb0.2Ta0.2)B2-(Ti0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2Nb0.2Ta0.2)C with different phase ratios are prepared from powders synthesized via a boro/carbothermal reduction approach, by adjusting the content of B4C and C in the precursor powders. Phase compositions, densification, microstructure, and mechanical properties have been investigated. Due to the combination of pinning effect and the boro/carbothermal reduction approach, the average grain sizes (0.5–1.5 µm) of the dual-phase high-entropy ceramics, were much smaller as compared with previously reported values. The dual-phase high-entropy ceramics with 15 mol% boride phase exhibit the highest Vickers hardness (24.21 GPa) and fracture toughness (3.2 MPa•m1/2).

AbstractThe high-purity and superfine high-entropy zirconate nanopowders, namely (Y0.25La0.25Sm0.25Eu0.25)2Zr2O7 nanopowders, without agglomeration, were successfully synthesized via polymerized complex method at low temperatures for the first time. The results showed that the crystallinity degree, lattice strain, and particle size of the as-synthesized powders were gradually enhanced with the increase of the synthesis temperature from 800 to 1300 °C. The as-synthesized powders involved fluorite phase in the range of 800–1200 °C while they underwent the phase evolution from fluorite to pyrochlore at 1300 °C. It is worth mentioning that the as-synthesized powders at 900 °C are of the highest quality among all the as-synthesized powders, which is due to the fact that they not only possess the particle size of 11 nm without agglomeration, but also show high purity and good compositional uniformity.
