Boron Carbide B4c

The hardness, toughness and sum of cracks measurement of fine-grained WC - Co hard metals were studied. Thirty commercial and experimental hard metal grades with different additives such as boron carbide ( B 4 C ), vanadium carbide ( VC ), chromium carbide ( Cr 3 C 2) and silicon carbide ( SiC ) were prepared in a commercial sinter HIP furnace. Physical, mechanical and microstructure properties were investigated to build up a representative hardness/sum of cracks measurement band. This band was then used to estimate the most effective sintering temperature and the amount of each additives. Afterwards, influence of grain growth inhibitors in optimum condition were compared. The results showed that the grades, doped with B 4 C and VC as growth inhibitor exhibits more hardness than other comparable doped alloys. However, Cr 3 C 2 is favorable in toughness improvement.

Ceramics samples in the form of a parallelepiped with high strength characteristics have been made. For the manufacture of the ceramics samples a powder mixture from submicron В4С powder with additives (1 wt%, 5 wt%, 10 wt%) of boron carbide nanopowder was used. The physical properties of the powder mixtures and strength properties of sintered ceramics have been studied. It was shown that the use of submicron fractions of the boron carbide powder together with nanoadditives is a determining factor in the formation of dense fine-grained structure providing improved physical and mechanical properties of the ceramics.

Ampère’S Law

Technology for manufacturing products by magnetic pulse compaction from oxide powders of the (ZrO2 – Y2O3) – Al2O3 system is presented in the paper. Diagram of the magnetic-pulse press with its operating principle being based on Ampere's law is given. Physical and mechanical properties of the obtained compacts are determined. The main feature of the designed technology is the reduced sintering temperature (200 °С) and the acquired fine-grained structure of the products. Another significant advantage achieved by applying the technology is the possibility for manufacturing fine-grained structure ceramic products with high mechanical properties.

ABSTRACTThin films of titanium carbide (TiC) and boron carbide (B4C) were grown by excimer pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at room temperature (RT) and 300°C. Films were deposited using the output of an excimer laser operating with KrF gas (γ = 248 nm, 15 ns pulse duration) to ablate hot-pressed targets. Film chemistry, morphology, and crystallinity were investigated. Stoichiometric, crystalline TiC films were grown on 440C stainless steel and NaCl substrates at room temperature and at 300°C. The films grown on NaCl were nanocrystalline, cubic TiC, with a grain size ranging between 2 and 10 nm in diameter. Boron carbide films were grown on silicon {100} substrates at room temperature and at 300°C. Film chemistry and stoichiometry duplicated that of the B4C target, which contained B4C and a mixed C-B-O-N binder phase. SEM analysis indicated that the morphology of the films was uniform, non-porous, and fine-grained. The films exhibited good adhesion and wear resistance, based on friction and wear data collected with a ball-on-disc tribometer.

The results of experimental studies show that the use of composite powders (WC-Co) in combination with the modification by the additives of ceramic nanoparticles allows controlling the parameters of the microstructure and increasing the strength of the binder and the level of physical and mechanical properties of the hard metal in general. The coating of carbide particles with a layer of a binder is an effective starting method that allows to obtain a bulk compound that preserves the unique properties of the initial nanopowders and ensures a uniform distribution of the phases (WC, Co, Al2O3). Such multiphase fragmentary nanostructured composite is characterized by additional heterogeneity, determined by the differences in size and elastic properties of the phases. By combining the sizes and properties of the phase components in such heterogeneous composite, it is possible to increase the fracture energy (i.e. Palmqvist fracture toughness) up to 20 - 22 MPa∙m1/2 as a result of inhibition on inclusions of nanoparticles the stress relaxation and change in the trajectory of the intergranular crack. Based on the proposed stereological models and experimentally established relationships between composition and microstructure parameters, the required volume concentrations of nanoparticles’ additives and composite powders (WC-Co) were determined.

Work Done

The properties of WC-Co are greatly improved with the use of submicron powders. However, grain growth tends to occur during the sintering process which causes the properties to deteriorate to some extent. Free carbon and vanadium carbide are added in this study to serve as grain growth inhibitor. The effect of these two materials is evaluated based on WC-Co properties. In this work, the powders are mixed together via wet mixing process, compacted and undergo cold-isostatic pressing (CIP) before the samples are sintered in the temperature range of 1350-1450°C under nitrogen-based atmosphere. The physical and mechanical properties of the WC-Co sintered powders were analysed. Based on the work done, the WC-Co-C has a better properties compared to WC-Co-VC.

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.

The physical and mechanical properties of nanometer ZrO2-ZrO2fiber composite ceramics were studied by introduction of ZrO2fiber. ZrO2composite ceramics at different sintering temperature was investigated by porosity and water absorption measurements, flexual strength and thermal shock resistance analysis. Results showed that ZrO2composite ceramics containing 15 wt% ZrO2fiber with sintering temperature of 1650°C exhibited good mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance. The porosity and the water absorption were 8.84% and 1.62%, respectively. The flexual strength was 975 MPa and the thermal shock times reached 31 times. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to analyze the microstructure of ZrO2composite ceramics.
