In this study, mechanical alloying (MA) of Fe -50 Al , Fe -49.5 Al -1 B , and Fe -47.5 Al -5 B (at.%) alloy powders and mechanical properties of sintered products of the as-milled powders were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed the addition of B caused more crystallite refinement compared to the B -free powders. To consider the sintering and ordering behaviors of the parts produced from cold compaction of the powders milled for 80 h, sintering was conducted at various temperatures. It was found that the sintering temperature has no meaningful effect on the long-range order parameter. The transformation of the disordered solid solution developed by MA to ordered Fe - Al - ( B ) intermetallics was a consequence of sintering. Also, the nano-scale structure of the samples was retained even after sintering. The microhardness of pore-free zones of the nanostructured specimens decreased by increasing the sintering temperature. Moreover, the sintering temperature has no effect on the compressive yield stress. However, the fracture strain increased by increasing the sintering temperature. The samples containing 1 at.% B showed more strain to fracture compared with the B -free and 5 at.% B samples.

FeAl20Si20 (wt.%) powders prepared by mechanical alloying from different initial feedstock materials (Fe, Al, Si, FeAl27) were investigated in this study. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation techniques were used to analyze microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties (hardness and Young’s modulus). Finite element model was developed to account for the decrease in measured values of mechanical properties of powder particles with increasing penetration depth caused by surrounding soft resin used for embedding powder particles. Progressive homogenization of the powders’ microstructure and an increase of hardness and Young’s modulus with milling time were observed and the time for complete homogenization was estimated.

Sintered Temperature

This present work investigates the effects of sintering temperature on densification, mechanical properties and microstructure of Al-based alloy pressed by high-velocity compaction. The green samples were heated under the flow of high pure (99.99 wt%) N2. The heating rate was 4 °C/min before 315 °C. For reducing the residual stress, the samples were isothermally held for one h. Then, the specimens were respectively heated at the rate of 10 °C/min to the temperature between 540 °C and 700 °C, held for one h, and then furnace-cooled to the room temperature. Results indicate that when the sintered temperature was 640 °C, both the sintered density and mechanical properties was optimum. Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-ray diffraction of sintered samples, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscope were used to analyse the microstructure and phases.

Al2O3-TiC-ZrO2ceramic composites (ATZ) were fabricated by hot-pressed sintering. The phases and microstructure of the composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The relative density and mechanical properties (flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vicker’s hardness) of the composites were tested. The results show that the microstructure of the composites was the gray core-white rim. With the increase of sintering temperature, the relative density and mechanical properties of the composites increased first and then decreased. The composite sintered at 1705°C has the highest synthetical properties, and its relative density, flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vickers hardness are 98.3%,970MPa,6.0 MPa•m1/2and 20.5GPa, respectively.

In this study, the effect of annealing temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of a Ti–18Zr–12.5Nb–2Sn (at.%) alloy was investigated by using optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement and tensile test. The cold-rolled plate was annealed at temperatures between 773[Formula: see text]K and 1173[Formula: see text]K. Recrystallization occurred in the specimen annealed at 873[Formula: see text]K. Grain size increased from 8[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m to 80[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m with increasing temperature from 873[Formula: see text]K to 1173[Formula: see text]K. The ultimate tensile strength decreased from 1590[Formula: see text]MPa to 806[Formula: see text]MPa with increasing annealing temperature from 773[Formula: see text]K to 973[Formula: see text]K, and then showed similar value in the specimens annealed at temperatures from 973[Formula: see text]K to 1173[Formula: see text]K. The fracture strain increased from 3.8% to 41.0% with increasing annealing temperature from 773[Formula: see text]K to 1173[Formula: see text]K due to the recovery and recrystallization. The recovery strain increased with increasing of annealing temperature attributed to the evolution of recrystallization texture.

Layered ternary compounds Ti3SiC2combines attractive properties of both ceramics and metals, and has been suggested for potential engineering applications. Near-fully dense Ti3SiC2bulks were sintered from commercial Ti3SiC2powders by hot press at 1350°C-1600°C for 60-120min under Ar atmosphere in this paper. The phase compositions and morphology of the as-prepared samples were evaluated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the mechanical properties were measured by Three-Point bending method. It was found that the Ti3SiC2had only a little of decomposition at sintering temperature above 1350°C. And effects of sintering temperature and holding time on the morphology of the bulk Ti3SiC2are not obvious. Relative density of 98% and flexural strength of 480MPa were obtained for the Ti3SiC2samples sintered at 30MPa and 1400°C for 90min.

The medical Ti-20Mo alloys were fabricated by powder metallurgy. The effects of sintering temperature on the phase, the morphology and the mechanical properties of Ti-Mo alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical properties test methods. The results showed that after sintering at 1200 °C, the microstructure of Ti-Mo alloys mainly consisted of α phase. The increasing sintering time could promote α→β phase transition, thus the flexural strength and the elastic modulus of Ti-Mo alloys could be controlled. When the sintering temperature was 1300 °C, molybdenum content was 20%, the bending strength and the compressive strength of Ti-20Mo alloy were 1369MPa and 2602MPa respectively, and the elastic modulus was 3.4GPa. It may be concluded that the Ti-20Mo alloys is prospective prostheses materials.

PbTiO3is one of electroceramic materials which can be applied for electronics and microelectronics due to their dielectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric properties. The members of PbTiO3-based ferroelectrics are widely used in multilayer, actuator and sensor capacitor. At room temperature, PbTiO3has a tetragonal perovskite structure. In this research, PbTiO3particles are synthesized by mechanical alloying method with variation of milling time and sintering temperature. The milling time variation is taken for 10, 20 and 30 hours. Sintering temperature variation is performed at 850, 900 and 1000°C. The powders used in the milling process are PbO and TiO2powders. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy–Electron Difraction X-ray (SEM-EDX) are performed to analyze the formation of PbTiO3phase. It is found that the synthesized powders contain 100% PbTiO3phase for all sintering temperatures. The PbTiO3particles have agglomeration shape with a broad particle size. The electrical properties of PbTiO3are measured using electrical test device. Electricity test analysis shows that the synthesized PbTiO3behaves as semiconductor-like.

ABSTRACTDifferent nanoclay mixing strategies using a three-roll mill and ultrasonication is proposed to obtain the desired polyester/nanoclay dispersion, intercalation, and exfoliation. The dispersion states of the modified nanoclay in polymer with 2, 4 and 6 wt% loading were characterized with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and low and high magnification transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties of the clay-reinforced polyester nanocomposites were a function of the nature and the content of the clay in the matrix. The nanocomposite containing 4 wt% modified Cloisite® 15A exhibits excellent improvement in modulus (by ~51%) and tensile strength (by ~12%) with a decrease in fracture strain (by ~26%) and fracture energy (by ~17%). These mechanical characteristic changes can be attributed to the dispersion, intercalation, and exfoliation of the nanoclays inside the polyester matrix.

Bovine Hydroxyapatite

The use of bovine hydroxyapatite (BHA) provides an alternative approach in bioceramics based on natural resources, time and cost efficiency. In this study, composites of calcinated bovine derived BHA were utilized. These were doped with known quantities of boron based bioglass (5 and 10 wt. %) and a range of composites were prepared at selected sintering temperatures (1000-1300 °C). The resulting structures were tested for several mechanical properties (porosity, compression and microhardness). Micro-structural analysis (electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction) was also performed on these samples, and these findings were correlated with results obtained from mechanical tests. The results indicate that there is a positive correlation between compression strength and sintering temperature and the optimal properties are obtained at a temperature of 1200°C and a boron oxide bioglass doping content of 5 wt. %.
