In the present work, a series of samples were prepared by pressureless sintering from the starting materials of Si 3 N 4 (α and/or β phases), SiO 2 and Li 2 CO 3. The phase transformation was studied with emphasis on the influence of sintering temperature and Li 2 CO 3 content. Related phase transformation was observed and analyzed by SEM and XRD and probable mechanisms were given, which will be helpful for the further explanation to the oxidation mechanism of Si 3 N 4 based ceramics at elevated temperature.

Sintering Process

Nanoparticles prepared by the coprecipitation method were used as raw materials to fabricate Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) ceramics by air pressureless sintering. The synthesized YIG precursor was calcinated at 900–1100 °C for 4 h in air. The influences of the calcination temperature on the phase and morphology of the nanopowders were investigated in detail. The powders calcined at 1000–1100 °C retained the pure YIG phase. YIG ceramics were fabricated by sintering at 1200–1400 °C for 10 h, and its densification behavior was studied. YIG ceramics prepared by air sintering at 1250 °C from powders calcinated at 1000 °C have the highest in-line transmittance in the range of 1000-3000 nm. When the sintering temperature exceeds 1300 °C, the secondary phase appears in the YIG ceramics, which may be due to the loss of oxygen during the high-temperature sintering process, resulting in the conversion of Fe3+ into Fe2+.

Observation on the effect of adding titanium oxide (TiO2) and magnesium oxide (MgO) on the sintering of α-alumina (Al2O3) has been performed. In this study, technical alumina used as basic material in which the sample is formed by the pressureless sintering/cold press and sintered at 1500°C which is lower than alumina sintering temperature at 1700°C. Elemental analysis, observation of microstructure, hardness, fracture toughness and density measurements were carried out to determine the physical and mechanical properties of alumina. The results indicate a change in the microstructure where the content of the platelet structure are much more than the equilateral structure. At sintering temperature of 1500°C, neck growth occurs at ceramics grain, supported by the results of the density test which indicate perfect compaction has occurred in this process.

In this paper, using ZrO2 and Ca (NO3)•4H2O as raw materials, we prepared a series of calica stabilized zirconia (CSZ) ceramics by pressureless sintering method. The results show that the relative densities of all sintered samples are above 90%, and the sintered samples are composed of cubic, tetragonal and monoclinic ZrO2, and the main phase is cubic ZrO2 and tetragonal ZrO2. The content of cubic phase increases with the increase of sintering temperature and adding CaO content. The grain size of the sintered samples is relatively uniform and some pores exist. Increasing the additive amount of CaO, the conductivity first rises and then decreases, and the conductivity value of the sample containing 5wt% CaO is the maximum. When the sintering temperature is up to 1600 oC, the conductivity of the sample containing 5wt% CaO is up to 0.016S•cm-1 at 800 oC. Furthermore, the conductivity of sintered samples is increasing with the increase of test temperature according to the Arrhenius equation.

Boron carbide-based materials B4C-MexBy were densified by pressureless sintering in a vacuum furnace. Some transition metal carbides (TiC, ZrC, HfC, Cr3C2 and WC) from groups IV-VI were used as sintering aids. The optimal sintering temperature in the range 2220-2250oC was used for any composition. Here we show the possibilities to activate the mass transport of the B4C by the mechanism of liquid phase sintering. The method of reactive sintering of B4C in the presence of additives of some transition metal carbides allows in situ synthesis of dense B4C-MexBy materials. Structural properties and fracture toughness of the B4C-based composite materials were discussed. The properties of some of these materials and the possibilities for their application are also discussed.

This paper introduces Si2ON2-SiC ceramic fabricated by pressureless sintering method and studies the effect of additives, nitriding temperatures on bulk density, porosity, phase composition and microstructure. It is discovered that additives MgO, CeO2 can increase the densities of Si2ON2-SiC ceramic apparently, and MgO additive has a better effect than CeO2. Nitriding temperature also is an important factor. The bulk density of the specimen with MgO additive reaches maximum at 1.91 g/cm3 when sintered at 1450 °C, and the bulk density of specimen with CeO2 additive is 1.86 g/cm3 at the same condition while the bulk density of the specimen without additive is only 1.75 g/cSuperscript textm3. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy of the specimens show that the amount of Si2ON2 increase with the sintering temperature increase. But when the temperature is higher than 1500 °C the Si2ON2 grains will decompose into Si3N4, and Si2ON2 will vanish at 1550 °C

The MgTiO3 and CaTiO3 powders were synthesized by solid reaction method, and MgTiO3-CaTiO3 ceramic was prepared using pressureless sintering method. The experiment prepared MgTiO3-CaTiO3 ceramics with high compactness and stable permittivity by the way of changing the mole ratio of MgTiO3 and CaTiO3 to investigate the effect of CaTiO3 on the performances of MgTiO3-CaTiO3 ceramics. The results show that Mg2TiO4 formed as second phase during sintering. Volume density and dielectric constant of MgTiO3-CaTiO3 ceramics with 10%mol CaTiO3 reach maximum of 3.612g/cm3 and 17.8, respectively, under 1460°C sintering temperature. And for the MgTiO3-CaTiO3 ceramics with 5%mol CaTiO3 the maximum values which are 3.5g/cm3 and 16.6, respectively, appear under 1510°C sintering temperature.

Abstract The present work aims to investigate the effects of isothermal treatment on the structural, microstructure and physical properties of Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramic. Sintering temperature plays a major role in producing the desired lithium aluminosilicate (LAS) glass-ceramic crystalline phases. This work also aims to achieve a low thermal expansion coefficient β-spodumene (LiAlSi2O6) crystalline phase with improved density and lower porosity, which can be useful for the applications with thermal shock properties. The LAS glass-ceramic was fabricated by the melt-quenching technique at 1550 °C for 5 h before being isothermally sintered at an elevated temperature of 900 to 1200 °C for 30 min. The evolution of LAS glass-ceramic crystalline phases was identified using differential thermal analysis and the β-spodumene exothermic peak appeared at 999 °C. Based on the X-ray diffraction results, the complete transformation of β-spodumene from high-quartz solid solution (β-quartz) occurred at 1000 °C. However, the sintering temperature did not change the crystalline phase when sintered above 1000 °C, but the lattice parameter of the crystal structure was slightly altered. Moreover, it was observed that the LAS glass-ceramic grain size increased with temperature, whereby the smallest average grain size recorded (0.61 µm) for LAS glass-ceramic sintered at 1100 °C. Meanwhile, the fully densified LAS glass-ceramic at 1100 ° C was measured at 2.47 g/cm3 with 0.52% porosity. The isothermal treatment at elevated temperature indicated that sintering at 1100 °C provided a denser, less porous, and small average grain size which is preferred for thermal shock resistance applications.
