Porous titanium is a functional structural material with certain porosity, which is prepared from titanium powder and titanium fiber. In order to study the porosity, phase structure, microstructure, sintering mechanism and mechanical properties of porous titanium obtained by spark plasma sintering of a Ti powder–fiber mixture at different sintering temperatures, a spherical titanium powder (D50 of 160 μm) was prepared via plasma rotating electrode processing, and titanium fiber (average wire diameter of fiber of 110 μm) was prepared by drawing, and they were mixed as raw materials according to different mass ratios. Porous titanium with a fiber–powder composite porous structure was prepared by spark plasma sintering at sintering temperatures of 800 °C, 900 °C and 1000 °C under a sintering pressure of 20 MPa. The results showed that there were no new phases occurring in porous titanium with porosity of 1.24–24.6% after sintering. Titanium fiber and titanium powder were sintered using powder/powder, powder/fiber and fiber/fiber regimes to form composite pore structures. The mass transfer mechanism of the sintered neck was a diffusion-dominated material migration mechanism during sintering. At higher sintering temperatures, the grain size was larger, and the fiber (800 °C; 10–20 μm) was finer than the powder (800 °C; 10–92 μm). The stress–strain curve of porous titanium showed no obvious yield point, and the compressive strength was higher at higher sintering temperatures. The results of this paper can provide data reference for the preparation of porous titanium obtained by spark plasma sintering of a Ti powder–fiber mixture.

Titanium has widely been used as a biomaterial because of its excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. However, problems with respect to biological reaction and fitness of elastic modulus for human bone or tooth have yet to be solved. Porous titanium is expected to be a promising material to solve these problems. The aim of this study is to clarify the effect of the porous structure of this material on the biomechanical compatibility. The spherical pure titanium powder, with an average particle size of 100 µm, was sintered by spark plasma sintering. The sintered porous titanium compacts had a porosity of 33 %. The specimens were machined from the sintered compacts for the evaluation of the mechanical properties. The elastic modulus indicated a value close to human bone, while the tensile and compressive strengths showed lower values than those of human bone.

In the present study, the TiO2-Ti compacts with Magneli phases TinO2n-1 were fabricated using the mixed powder of TiO2 powder and addition Ti powder by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The composition and the crystal types of Magneli phases TinO2n-1 were examined. The results showed that various Magneli phases TinO2n-1 (single or multi Magneli phases) with the composition of Ti1+yO2-x were obtained. The Magneli phases TinO2n-1 were formed in the transformation from the mother phase rutile TiO2 to TiO with increase in Ti addition fraction. In addition, the thermoelectric properties of the sintered compacts were also measured. The electrical resistivity of the sintered compacts decreased with increase in Ti addition fraction. The thermoelectric performance of the sintered compacts was improved by the formation of Magneli phases TinO2n-1 with the composition of Ti1+yO2-x.

Ti-24Nb-4Zr-7.9Sn alloy was prepared by Powder Metallurgy (PM) and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) using titanium hydride powder, niobium powder, zirconium powder and tin powder as raw materials. The effect of sintering process on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated by mechanical measurement and SEM. The results showed that the best sintering process by PM was at 12500C for 2 h. The relative density, tensile strength and elongation of the alloy reached 97.2%, 705MPa and 6.2%, respectively. The microstructure was a typical Widmannstatten microstructure, which possessed β-matrix and α-precipitation. The best process by SPS was at 12500C. The relative density, tensile strength and elongation of the alloy sintered by SPS reached 99.4%, 788.5MPa and 6.4%, respectively. The grain size was about 100µm and the microstructure was uniform. The fracture morphology of the alloy was ductile rupture. Compared to PM, Ti-24Nb-4Zr-7.9Sn alloy fabricated by SPS exhibited better comprehensive properties and more uniform microstructure.

The paper presents the results of obtaining silicon carbide SiC ceramic from organic raw materials by the reaction spark plasma sintering (SPS). Annealed rice husks are used as an organic raw material. A feature of the batch preparation for sintering is annealing in an inert atmosphere. Thus, the carbon source C for further reaction with silicon dioxide SiO2 to form SiC is the organic part of the rice husk. This way let to achieve the most uniform reacting components mixing directly at the stage of annealing the husks and to exclude the mixing stage from the technological process. The reaction SPS method was used for the first time for the production of ceramic material from such a raw material. The results of a comprehensive study of the obtained material by various methods are presented in the article: scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray phase analysis, strength analysis, and others.

Abstract B4C-TiB2 composite ceramics with ultra-high fracture toughness were successfully prepared via spark plasma sintering using B4C and 30 vol.% Ti3SiC2 as raw materials at different sintering temperatures. The results show that compared with pure B4C ceramics sintered by SPS, the flexural strength and fracture toughness are significantly improved, especially the fracture toughness has been improved by leaps and bounds. When the sintering temperature is 1900 ℃, the B4C-TiB2 composite ceramic has the best comprehensive mechanical properties: hardness, bending strength and fracture toughness are 27.28 GPa, 405.11 MPa and 18.94 MPa·m1/2, respectively. The main two reasons for the ultra-high fracture toughness are the formation of TiB2 three-dimensional network covering the whole composites, and the existence of lamellar graphite at the grain boundary.
