In this study, a Ti(C,N)-based cermet material was prepared through vacuum sintering. The research also investigates how holding time and maximum sintering temperature influence the material microstructure and mechanical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to analyze the composition of the cermet. The microstructure of the cermet was analyzed and examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A Vickers hardness tester was used to test the mechanical properties of the materials. As indicated by testing results, the hardness of the material decreases as the temperature of sintering increases, and its fracture toughness increases gradually as holding time increases. Ti(C,N)-based cermet manifested the optimal mechanical properties when sintering was conducted under 1400 °C with 80 min of holding time. Moreover, the material microstructure is significantly affected by the sintering process. The grain size of Ti(C,N) cermets increases as the sintering temperature increases. The microstructure tends to be uniform and the complete core-rim structures are established as the holding time increases.

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.

WC-8Co cemented carbide specimens were prepared via vacuum sintering. The effects of cold isostatic pressing (CIP) on microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show that only WC and Co3W3C (γ-phase) were detected by XRD without any else phases, even though Co. Dense WC-8Co cemented carbide samples were obtained and relative density reached over 98%. The pressing method, instead of pressure, took an important role in the mechanical properties of WC-8Co cemented carbide. KIC and TRS of WC-8Co cemented carbide were improved at least 27% and 24%, respectively, by the use of CIP. WC-8Co cemented carbide with excellent mechanical properties (HRA>93.5, KIC>11MPa·m1/2, TRS>870MPa) was obtained by using CIP.

This paper discusses the influence of Ti3C2 (MXene) addition on silicon nitride and its impact on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the latter. Composites were prepared through powder processing and sintered using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technic. Relative density, hardness and fracture toughness, were analyzed. The highest fracture toughness at 5.3 MPa·m1/2 and the highest hardness at HV5 2217 were achieved for 0.7 and 2 wt.% Ti3C2, respectively. Moreover, the formation of the Si2N2O phase was observed as a result of both the MXene addition and the preservation of the α-Si3N4→β-Si3N4 phase transformation during the sintering process.
