Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

The microwave sintered zirconia ceramics with 0, 1, 3, and 5 wt% TiO2addition at a low sintering temperature of 1300°C and a short holding time of 1 hour were investigated. Effect of contents of TiO2addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of microwave sintered zirconia bioceramics was reported. In the sintered samples, the main phase is monoclinic zirconia (m-ZrO2) phase and minor phase is tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2) phase. The grain sizes increased with increasing the TiO2contents under the sintering temperature of 1300°C. Although the TiO2phase was not detected in the XRD pattern, Ti and O elements were detected in the EDS analysis. The presence of TiO2effectively improved grain growth of the ZrO2ceramics. The Vickers hardness was in the range of 125 to 300 Hv and increased with the increase of TiO2contents. Sintering temperature dependence on the Vickers hardness was also investigated from 1150°C to 1300°C, showing the increase of Vickers hardness with the increase of the sintering temperature as well as TiO2addition.

Time Variations

The effect of holding time variation and sintering temperature on the mechanical properties and sinterability of yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia doped with 1 wt. % MnO2 was investigated. Samples were sintered at 1150-1500 °C with holding times varying from 12 and 120 minutes. Comparing to the MnO2-doped Y-TZP, longer holding time resulted in enhanced densification of the undoped Y-TZP samples. In the case of MnO2-doped Y-TZP however, Bulk density, Young’s modulus, Vickers hardness and fracture toughness results show the beneficial effect of MnO2 in enhancing the densification of Y-TZP ceramics.

Ultrafine cemented carbides were prepared by microwave sintering, using WC-V8C7-Cr3C2-Co nanocomposites as a raw material. The effects of sintering temperature and holding time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cemented carbides were studied. The results show that the ultrafine cemented carbides prepared at 1300 °C for 60 min have good mechanical properties and a good microstructure. The relative density, Vickers hardness, and fracture toughness of the specimen reach the maximum values of 99.79%, 1842 kg/mm2 and 12.6 MPa·m1/2, respectively. Tungsten carbide (WC) grains are fine and uniformly distributed, with an average grain size of 300–500 nm. The combination of nanocomposites, secondary pressing, and microwave sintering can significantly reduce the sintering temperature and inhibit the growth of WC grains, thus producing superfine cemented carbides with good microstructure and mechanical properties.

The Ti3SiC2 used in this project has been purchased ready-made. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sintering temperature on samples' microstructure and mechanical properties, including three-point flexural strength, Vickers hardness, and fracture toughness. Therefore, Ti3SiC2 samples were sintered under a vacuum atmosphere at a pressure of 35 MPa for 30 minutes at two temperatures of 1500 °C and 1550 °C by hot pressing. The microstructure obtained from the fracture cross-section of the samples shows that by increasing the sintering temperature to 1550 °C, the microstructure of this sample becomes larger than the sintered sample at 1500 °C. Also, increasing the sintering temperature to 1550 °C causes the decomposition of Ti3SiC2 to TiC, which can be seen in the X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD). In addition, the relative density of the sintered sample at 1550 °C is 98.08% which is higher than that of the sintered sample at 1500 °C with the result of 89%. On the other hand, the three-point flexural strength (227.5 MPa), the Vickers hardness (~9 GPa), and the fracture toughness (8.6 MPa.m1/2) of the sintered sample at 1500 °C are higher due to the fine-grained structure.

Sintering Method

An Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was prepared with Fe-Fe2O3-Al2O3 powder by a hot press sintering method. The mass ratio was 6:1:2, sintering pressure was 30 MPa, and holding time was 120 min. The raw materials for the powder particles were respectively 1 µm (Fe), 0.5 µm (Fe2O3), and 1 µm (Al2O3) in diameter. The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was studied. The results showed that Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was formed by in situ reaction at 1300 °C–1500 °C. With the increased sintering temperature, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe/FeAl2O4 composite showed a change law that initially became better and then became worse. The best microstructure and optimal mechanical properties were obtained at 1400 °C. At this temperature, the grain size of Fe and FeAl2O4 phases in Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was uniform, the relative density was 96.7%, and the Vickers hardness and bending strength were 1.88 GPa and 280.0 MPa, respectively. The wettability between Fe and FeAl2O4 was enhanced with increased sintering temperature. And then the densification process was accelerated. Finally, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe/FeAl2O4 composite were improved.

Al2O3-MgO, Al2O3-Y2O3 and Al2O3-MgO-Y2O3 composite ceramics were fabricated respectively by hot-press sintering technique. With the analysis of the mechanical properties and microstructure, it was found that single additive MgO could be more favorable to the grains’ refinement and densification than Y2O3; the composite additive including both MgO and Y2O3 was better than single additive MgO or Y2O3, because their interactions could improve the mechanical properties of the Al2O3 ceramics; The sintering temperature could be reduced by adding the suitable amount of composite additives.

Nanostructured Ceria

The demand for tetragonal zirconia as a dental restorative material has been increasing because of its excellent mechanical properties and resemblance to natural tooth color, as well as its excellent biological compatibility. Cerium oxide (CeO2) has been added to yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP), and studies have demonstrated that the stability of the tetragonal phase can be significantly improved. Y-TZP with 5wt% CeO2 as a second stabilizer was developed via colloidal process, followed by a suitable sintering process. According to the literature, the sintering process is the most crucial stage in ceramic processing to obtain the most homogeneous structure with high density and hardness. This study aims to investigate the effect of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties of nanostructured ceria–zirconia fabricated via colloidal processing and slip casting process with cold isostatic pressing (CIP). Twenty-five pellet specimens were prepared from ceria–zirconia with 20 nm particle size. CeO2 nanopowder was mixed with Y-TZP nanopowder via colloidal processing. The consolidation of the powder was done via slip casting followed by CIP. The samples were divided into five different sintering temperatures with. Results from FESEM, density and hardness analyses demonstrated statistically significant increase in density and hardness as the sintering temperature increased. The hardness increased from 4.65 GPa to 14.14 GPa, and the density increased from 4.70 to 5.97 (g/cm3) as the sintering temperature increased without changing the holding time. Sintering Ce-Y-TZP at 1600 °C produced samples with homogenous structures, high hardness (14.14 GPa), and full densification with 98% of the theoretical density.
