AbstractThe ternary nitride MgSiN2 crystallizes in a diamond-like structure with a band gap of 4.8 eV. These characteristics make the compound promising for a variety of applications. Recently we succeeded in preparing fully dense ceramics by sintering at 1550°C. Phase composition, chemical properties and the mechanical properties of the as-prepared ceramics are described. The ceramics are resistant to oxidation in air at least up to 920°C. The thermal conductivity at room temperature has been found to be 20 W/m·K. A considerable improvement of the thermal conductivity is expected when improved processing conditions, well within reach, are realized. A reasonable strength of 270 MPa and a fairly good fracture toughness of about 4.3 MPa·m½ are obtained. A hardness of about 15 GPa and a Young's modulus of 235 GPa have been measured. These new ceramics show that it is still possible to find improved materials as compared to the usual oxide and non-oxide ceramics.

And Chemical Properties

ZrO2 ceramics have been widely used to many fields with its excellent physical and chemical properties, but the mechanical properties of YSZ ceramics, especially the fracture toughness, decline caused by the failure of the phase transformation toughening at high temperature. In this investigation, plate-like LaMgAl11O19 toughened ZrO2 ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering at 1550 °C for 3h in air . The bulk density of the sintered samples are between 5.5 to 6.0 g/cm3, and the relative density are above 93%. The mechanical properties of the ZrO2-LaMgAl11O19 ceramics were studied systematically at room temperature. The flexure strength and fracture toughness of ZrO2-LaMgAl11O19 ceramic are 811.8 MPa and 13.9 MPa•m½ with the LMA addition of 2wt%.

Barrier Coating

In this study, a new coating material for thermal barrier coating (TBC) or environment barrier coating (EBC) application, Ca3ZrSi2O9 (CZSO), was synthesized and prepared by atmospheric plasma spray (APS) technology. The evolution of the phases and microstructures of the coatings with different thermal-aged were characterized by XRD, XRF, EDS and SEM, respectively. The thermal stability was measured by TG-DTA and DSC. The mechanical and thermal properties, including Vickers hardness (HV), fracture toughness (KIC), thermal conductivity () and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) were focused on. It was found that the as-sprayed CZSO coating contained amorphous phase. Crystalline transformation happened at 900–960 ∘C and no mass changes took place from room temperature (RT) to 1300 ∘C. The phenomena of microcrack self-healing and composition uniformity were observed during thermal aging. The of coating was very low at about 0.57–0.80 Wm−1K−1 in 200–1200 ∘C. The combined properties indicated that the CZSO coating might be a potential T/EBC material.

ABSTRACTMo fiber reinforced NiAl in-situ composites with a nominal composition Ni-43.8Al-9.5Mo (at.%) were produced by specially controlled directional solidification (DS) using a laboratory-scale Bridgman furnace equipped with a liquid metal cooling (LMC) device. In these composites, single crystalline Mo fibers were precipitated out through eutectic reaction and aligned parallel to the growth direction of the ingot. Mechanical properties, i.e. the creep resistance at high temperatures (HT, between 900 °C and 1200 °C) and the fracture toughness at room temperature (RT) of in-situ NiAl-Mo composites, were characterized by tensile creep (along the growth direction) and flexure (four-point bending, vertical to the growth direction) tests, respectively. In the current study, a steady creep rate of 10-6s-1 at 1100 °C under an initial applied tensile stress of 150MPa was measured. The flexure tests sustained a fracture toughness of 14.5 MPa·m1/2at room temperature. Compared to binary NiAl and other NiAl alloys, these properties showed a remarkably improvement in creep resistance at HT and fracture toughness at RT that makes this composite a potential candidate material for structural application at the temperatures above 1000 °C. The mechanisms responsible for the improvement of the mechanical properties in NiAl-Mo in-situ composites were discussed based on the investigation results.

Dense β–Si3N4 ceramics were fabricated from α–Si3N4 raw powder by gas-pressure sintering at 1900 °C for 12 h under a nitrogen pressure of 1 MPa, using four different kinds of additive compositions: Yb2O3–MgO, Yb2O3–MgSiN2, Y2O3–MgO, and Y2O3–MgSiN2. The effects of additive composition on the microstructure and thermal and mechanical properties of β–Si3N4 ceramics were investigated. It was found that the replacement of Yb2O3 by Y2O3 has no significant effect on the thermal conductivity and fracture toughness, but the replacement of MgO by MgSiN2 leads to an increase in thermal conductivity from 97 to 113 Wm-1K-1and fracture toughness from 8 to 10 MPa m1/2, respectively. The enhanced thermal conductivity of the MgSiN2-doped materials is attributed to the purification of β–Si3N4 grain and increase of Si3N4–Si3N4 contiguity, resulting from the enhanced growth of large elongated grains. The improved fracture toughness of the MgSiN2-doped materials is attributed to the increase of grain size and fraction of large elongated grains. However, the same thermal conductivity between the Yb2O3- and Y2O3-doped materials is related to not only their similar microstructures, but also the similar abilities of removing oxygen impurity in Si3N4 lattice between Yb2O3 and Y2O3. The same fracture toughness between the Yb2O3- and Y2O3-doped materials is consistent with their similar microstructures. This work implies that MgSiN2 is an effective sintering aid for developing not only high thermal conductivity (>110 Wm−1K−1) but also high fracture toughness (>10 MPa m1/2) of Si3N4 ceramics.

Abstract In this work, the phase composition (relative fractions of monoclinic m-ZrO2, tetragonal t-ZrO2, and cubic c-ZrO2 phases) and mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness, compressive strength) of alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) ceramics, with an addition of silica were investigated. Calcium oxide was used as a stabilizer for the zirconia tetragonal phase. It was shown that CaO-ATZ+SiO2 ceramics demonstrate increased resistance to low-temperature degradation. The plasticity signs at room temperature were found due to the SiO2 addition to CaO-ATZ ceramics. A yield plateau appears in the uniaxial compression diagram at 5 mol. % SiO2 concentration. It is hypothesized that discovered plasticity is due to the increased t→m transformability.

Abstract Si3N4-based ceramic (Si3N4-5wt%Y2O3-3wt%MgO) was obtained from carbothermal-reduction-derived powder combined with gas pressure sintering. The phase, microstructure, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of Si3N4 ceramics were comprehensively analyzed. Dense Si3N4 ceramic with uniform grain size was obtained after sintering at 1900°C for 7 h under a N2 pressure of 1.2 MPa. The secondary phase consisted of Y4Si2O7N2 and Y2Si3O3N4 was found to gather around triangular grain boundaries. The thermal conductivity, flexural strength, hardness and fracture toughness of the Si3N4 ceramics were 95.7 W·m-1·k-1, 715 MPa, 17.2 GPa and 7.2 MPa·m1/2, respectively. The results were compared with product derived from commercial powder, the improvement of thermal conductivity (~8.3%) and fracture toughness (~4.3%) demonstrating the superiority of Si3N4 ceramics prepared from carbothermal-reduction-derived powder.

SiC whisker-reinforced ZrB2 matrix ultra-high temperature ceramic were prepared at 2000°C for 1 h under 30MPa by hot pressing and the effects of whisker on flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites was examined. The flexural strength and fracture toughness are 510±25MPa and 4.05±0.20MPa⋅m1/2 at room temperature, respectively. Comparing with the SiC particles-reinforced ZrB2 ceramic, no significant increase in both strength and toughness was observed. The microstructure of the composite showed that the SiC whisker was destroyed because the SiC whisker degraded due to rapid atom diffusivity at high temperature. The results suggested that some related parameters such as the lower hot-pressing temperature, a short sintering time should be controlled in order to obtain SiC whiskerreinforced ZrB2 composite with high properties.

This paper focuses on an iterative algorithm for setting and attaining particle packing densities by means of different concentrations of a matrix material. The mechanical properties of a product, such as fracture toughness, bending strength and thermal conductivity are directly dependent on the amount of matrix material present. A tape cast friction layer was developed, in order to investigate the dependence of the parameters of the RRSB distribution on concentration of matrix material. The results verify the calculation method of a solid mixture and show a linear dependence of the RRSB particle-parameternon the concentration of matrix material (SiC-content).

ABSTRACTThe notched mechanical properties of Ni3AI and Ni3Al+B prepared by powder metallurgy techniques have been determined in both tension and bending at room temperature. Ten- sile tests performed using double notched specimens containing relatively blunt notches produced intergranular fracture in both Ni3Al and Ni3AI+B, with evidence of fracture initiating in an intergranular manner ahead of the blunt notch in both cases. Estimates of notched fracture toughness from bend tests and of local grain boundary fracture stress from the notched tensile tests suggest an increase in these values with boron addition.

Abalone Shell

The nacre structure of red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) shell has a higher strength and fracture toughness at room temperature compared to some monolithic ceramics. The unusual mechanical properties may be attributed to the unique microarchitecture that can be described as a laminated composite of about 95% CaCO3 and 5% organic matter (a combination of proteins, chiten, and other macromolecules). It is desirable to form synthetic materials having a microarchitecture similar to the nacre through a biomimetic approach to obtain improved mechanical properties. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to have a better understanding of the microstructure of the nacre at different length scales. The purpose of this work was to examine the structure of nacre in more detail. It has been found that the structure is actually composed of twins which are hierarchical from the nanometer to sub-millimeter scale.
