Processes of sintering of silicon carbide nanopowder were investigated. Values of density (ρ=3.17 g/cm3) and strength (σ=450 MPa) were obtained. Within the theory of dispersed systems, the temperature evolution of the materials structure was considered. The relationship between sintering temperature, characteristics of crystal structure and physical properties, in particular, density, and strength of aforementioned ceramics was established. It was concluded that it is necessary to suppress the anomalous diffusion at temperatures above 2080°C.

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.

SBT Ferroelectric Materials are prepared by solid reaction sintering process after doping V2O5to SBT bulk and its properties are researched. The results show that this method can decrease sintering temperature , change the grains from rod to plate shape, increase grains size and lead to the grains growth with c-axis. And there are ferroelectric 90b domains in SBTV crystal .

The object of this study is to investigate the sintering mechanism of lightweight ceramic by different sintering temperature. The raw materials were sewage sludge and fly-ash, and clay was added as cementing agents (by ratio of 50wt% in each sample). The raw materials were mixed and pressed into raw pellets. After drying and preheating treatment, the raw pellets were sintered at temperatures ranging from 1050 to 1150 , in 25 increments for 10min. The physical properties (bulk density, grain density, water absorption and rate of expansion) were the indexes used to determine the technical parameters for the preparation of lightweight ceramic pellets and investigate the sintering mechanism of bloating. The results suggested that temperature was the key control factor of sintering process, and 1150 was the starting point of bloating reaction. Observation of the microstructure by SEM indicated that a higher flux content in the raw materials could lower the melt point during sintering process.

βThe B4C and phenolic resin were used as sintering additives to study the different β-SiC(cubic silicon carbide) addition to the performance of α-SiC pressureless sintering ceramics in this paper, and the optimum sintering temperature and the best β-SiC addition amount were determined. By XRD, SEM,density testing and other tests showed that, all the β-SiC transform 6Hα-SiC during the sintering process ,the ceramics have a Vickers hardness of 18.04 GPa,a frature toughness of 4.51MPa ,a density of 3.13g/cm3 by adding 15wt% β-SiC powders.

Mae Moh lignite bottom ash was utilized as the main component in the fabrication of lightweight ceramic formulations. The amount of 50-80 wt.% bottom ash was successfully utilized to produce ceramics at sintering temperatures between 900 and 1200°C. Waste glass was used as a flux for the sintering process. Bottom ash was carefully sieved into three different particle sizes; small, medium and large. The different particle sizes were used in the ceramic fabrication to investigate for the densification behavior. Overall, porosity and water absorption of the fabricated ceramics decreased with increasing sintering temperature. Sintering at 1125°C resulted in the most densified ceramics which retained good physical appearance without sample distortion or melting.

This study investigated the properties of lightweight sludge-flyash-clay ceramic by different sintering temperature. Different ratios of dry sewage sludge and fly ash with 50 wt% of clay were mixed and pressed into raw pellets. After drying and preheating treatment, the raw pellets were sintered at temperatures ranging from 1050 to 1150 °C, in 25 °C increments for 10 min. The physical properties (bulk density, grain density, water absorption and rate of expansion) were the indexes used to determine the technical parameters for the preparation of lightweight sludge-fly ash ceramic pellets. The results suggested that temperature was the key control factor of sintering process, and 1150 °C was the starting point of the bloating reaction. In the case of a small fraction in the raw material configuration, the mass ratios of sludge to fly-ash had little effect on the properties.
