Abstract Using the mixed powder of TiH2, V, Al and graphite as raw materials, porous TiVAlC ceramics were successfully prepared with the reaction synthesis method at only 1300℃. The pore-formation mechanism in the sintering process is discussed by combining XRD, pore size variation and sintering temperature. The formation of pores is mainly based on the following processes: (i) During the green compaction pressing, the pores formed by the gaps among the raw material powder particles; (ii) Stearic acid is completely decomposed at 500℃; (iii) TiH2 is completely decomposed at 700°C; (iv) Molten aluminum reacts with titanium and vanadium at 700℃ to generate titanium-aluminum and vanadium-aluminum compounds; (v) With the sintering temperature varying from 900℃ to 1100°C, excess titanium, vanadium and graphite generate a large amount of carbides (TiC, VC, TiVC2); (vi) Ti-Al and V-Al compounds react with carbides (TiC, VC, TiVC2) to form the final product TiVAlC at 1300℃.The effects of the sintering temperature on the volume expansion ratio, porosity, pore size and viscous permeability coefficient of porous TiVAlC ceramics were investigated. The results illustrated that the porosity, volume expansion rate and viscous permeability coefficient increased with the increase of sintering temperature from 700℃ to 1300℃, whereas the pore diameter first decreased from 6.2 μm to 5.0 μm, and then increased to 10.2 μm.

The construction industry continues to develop and the requirements for cement performance are getting higher and higher. At the same time, in the steel industry, the discharge of steel slag is also increasing. The effective reuse of steel slag has become a prominent problem in the steel industry. . Therefore, it is envisaged to use steel slag as a raw material for the cement production process to produce cement and to produce high-performance cement. The main raw materials of this experiment are steel slag, limestone, sandstone and shale. Through the cement preparation process, the cement is made, and then the cement is made into concrete to test its performance. This experiment mainly studies the sintering temperature and holding time variable. In the experimental test, the analysis and comparison were carried out in five aspects of the degree of macroscopic cracking, particle size, density, microstructure and composition. In the comparison experiment of sintering temperature, with the increase of temperature, the flexural and compressive properties of cement gradually increased. In this test, 1200 °C is the most suitable temperature for the performance of the cement. Through the experimental comparison of different holding time, it is known that with the prolonging of the holding time, the microstructure and actual performance of the cement are continuously enhanced. Comprehensive consideration: the ratio of steel slag in cement ratio is 10%, sintering temperature is 1200 °C, and heat preservation is 2h. The steel slag cement prepared under this condition has the strongest performance.

CuSn6Zn6 alloy powder and a pore former were used as raw material. Porous bronze was successfully prepared by the sintering and dissolution process (SDP). The porosity is in range of 76%~88%, and the pore size is in range of 0.8~3.3mm. The effect of the porosity and cell sizes of specimens on its mechanical property was investigated, and the effect of sintering temperature on its relative density and porosity was also studied. The experimental results indicate that under the condition of the same pore size, the compressive strength decreases with the increase of porosity, the compressive strength changes from 10Mpa to 2Mpa with the porosity from 76% to 88%; under the same porosity condition, the compressive strength does not change significantly with the pore size, but it has a slightly increasing trend with the decrease of the pore size. The relative density of the specimens increases with the increase of the sintering temperature.

Adiabatic foam was fabricated successfully using sodium silicate as the raw material with pre-sintered fly ash as additive. Fly ash was pre-sintered at 500 to 900 oC and the effect of the pre-sintering temperature on the performance, including the thermal conductivity, density, compressive strength and microstructure, was researched. The results show that the pre-sintering process effectively reduces the density of the samples while the thermal conductivity and compressive strength are higher than those of the samples fabricated by the fly ash without being pre-sintered. Moreover, the samples exhibit tri-modal spherical pore structure with macropores and mesopores. The pore size remains unchanged until the pre-sintering temperature exceeds 700 oC, and then starts to increase.

Lithium-ion battery (Li-ion) is an energy storage device widely used in various types of electronic devices. The cathode is one of its main components, which was developed because it accelerates the transfer of electrons and battery cycle stability. Therefore, the LiNixMnyCozO2 (LNMC) cathode material, which has a discharge capacity of less than 200 mAh g−1, was further developed. Li-Mn-rich oxide cathode material (LMR-NMC) has also received considerable attention because it produces batteries with a specific capacity of more than 250 mAh g−1 at high voltages. The structure, synthesis method, and sintering temperature in the fabrication of LMR-NMC cathode materials affect battery performance. Furthermore, manganese sulphate fertilizer replaces manganese sulphate as raw material for LMR-NMC cathode due to its lower price. The method used in this study was implemented by reviewing previous literature related to Li-ion batteries, Li-ion battery cathodes, synthesis of LMR-NMC cathode materials, and the potential of manganese fertilizers. This review aims to find out the effect of structure, synthesis method, and sintering temperature on LMR-NMC cathodes made from manganese sulphate fertilizer to obtain a Li-ion battery with a high specific capacity, more environmentally friendly, has good cycle stability, and a high level of safety and lower production costs.

AbstractPlate-like α-Al2O3 particles are used to reinforce metal or ceramics to improve their mechanical properties. Here, we have demonstrated the production of alumina platelets using kaolin as a raw material in a sodium sulphate flux. When kaolin was sintered using Na2SO4 flux, the main phase formed in samples sintered at 900ºC was mullite, but alumina was produced at 1000ºC. Sintering at 1200ºC led to alumina and sodium aluminosilicate, with little of the mullite phase present. Plate-like α-Al2O3 particles were observed in samples sintered at 1200ºC, with diameters ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 µm and thicknesses from 0.05 to 0.1 µm. This production method is economically feasible because the raw materials have a low cost and the sintering temperature is low.
