scholarly journals Sintering Temperature and Applied Pressure Effect on Manufacturing Ni-Cr Based Composite Material.

Mechanical Property of Nickel-Chromium composite investigated with different parameters. Green pallets (composite) were manufactured under the different pressure (220MPa, 275MPa and 330MPa) and such pallet sintering in two different temperatures (9000C and 10000C). The result indicate that the properties of the composite increases with increasing pressure and also with increasing sintering temperature for Ni-Cr based composite. Porosity plays a vital role in mechanical properties of composite and it present between maximum 4.304% to minimum 1.865%. For highly porous material, mechanical properties are minimum than lower porous composite material. The result of the study reveals that the properties of Ni-Cr based composite improved for 330MPa pressure and 1000oC temperature. Thus there is need to consider these aspect while manufacturing the composite material to have a good mechanical or Tribological properties.

In the present work, FeMn13-40 wt.% TiC composite was fabricated by Pulsed Electric Current Sintering (PECS) process at different temperatures between 990 and 1020<sup>o</sup>C under a pressure of 60 MPa with a holding time of 5 min in the vacuum. Phases identification was done using the X-ray diffraction. The relative density, microstructure and hardness of the samples were characterized. The results showed that the relative density of FeMn13-TiC composite increased with the increase of sintering temperature. The highest relative density (96.19%) and the hardness (70.54 HRC) of the sample were achieved by PECS process, namely sintering at the temperature of 1020<sup>o</sup>C under the applied pressure of 60 MPa for 5 min.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used in biomedical applications due to its excellent biocompatibility. However, Hydroxyapatite possesses poor mechanical properties and only tolerate limited loads for implants. Titanium is well-known materials applied in implant that has advantage in mechanical properties but poor in biocompatibility. The combination of the Titanium alloy and HA is expected to produce bio-implants with good in term of mechanical properties and biocompatabilty. In this work, interaction and mechanical properties of HA/Ti6Al4V was analyzed. The physical and mechanical properties of HA/Ti6Al4V composite powder obtained from compaction (powder metallurgy) of 60 wt.% Ti6Al4V and 40 wt.% HA and sintering at different temperatures in air were investigated in this study. Interactions of the mixed powders were investigated using X-ray diffraction. The hardness and density of the HA/Ti6Al4V composites were also measured. Based on the results of XRD analysis, the oxidation of Ti began at 700 °C. At 1000 °C, two phases were formed (i.e., TiO2 and CaTiO3). The results showed that the hardness HA/Ti6Al4V composites increased by 221.6% with increasing sintering temperature from 700oC to 1000oC. In contrast, the density of the composites decreased by 1.9% with increasing sintering temperature.

Metal matrix composites attain a significant position in Industrial, defense, structural and automobile applications. To amplify that strategy there is a need to find out the conditional behavior of the composites and enhancing the properties will be mandatory. The present work mainly investigates on the effect of processing parameters like densification rates, sintering temperature, reinforcement content on the microstructure, mechanical properties of the Al7175/B4C composite material fabricated by mechanical milling and powder metallurgy techniques. Results show there is a grain size reduction and refinement in the composite material through ball milling operations and along with that increasing B4C content in the composite powders make milling conditions very effective. Increasing the sintering temperature results in a consistent grain growth along with that porosity level decreases up to a limit and then attain a steady state, the strength of the composites increases with compaction pressures but reinforcements content effects the strength of the material by losing its ductility making it brittle.

Rapid densification of the SiC-10, 20, 30, 40wt% TiC powder with Al, B and C additives was carried out by spark plasma sintering (SPS). In the present SPS process, the heating rate and applied pressure were kept at 100°C/min and at 40 MPa, while the sintering temperature varied from 1600-1800°C in an argon atmosphere. The full density of SiC-TiC composites was achieved at a temperature above 1800°C by spark plasma sintering. The 3C phase of SiC in the composites was transformed to 6H and 4H by increasing the process temperature and the TiC content. By tailoring the microstructure of the spark-plasma-sintered SiC-TiC composites, their toughness could be maintained without a notable reduction in strength. The strength of 720 MPa and the fracture toughness of 6.3 MPa·m1/2 were obtained in the SiC-40wt% TiC composite prepared at 1800°C for 20 min.

The intrinsic brittleness of bioactive glasses (BGs) is one of the main barriers to the widespread use of three-dimensional porous BG-derived bone grafts (scaffolds) in clinical practice. Among all the available strategies for improving the mechanical properties of BG-based scaffolds, strut densification upon sintering treatments at high temperatures represents a relatively easy approach, but its implementation might lead to undesired and poorly predictable decrease in porosity, mass transport properties and bioactivity resulting from densification and devitrification phenomena occurring in the material upon heating. The aim of the present work was to investigate the sinter-crystallization of a highly bioactive SiO2-P2O5-CaO–MgO–Na2O–K2O glass (47.5B composition) in reference to its suitability for the fabrication of bonelike foams. The thermal behavior of 47.5B glass particles was investigated upon sintering at different temperatures in the range of 600–850 °C by means of combined thermal analyses (differential thermal analysis (DTA) and hot-stage microscopy (HSM)). Then, XRD measurements were carried out to identify crystalline phases developed upon sintering. Finally, porous scaffolds were produced by a foam replica method in order to evaluate the effect of the sintering temperature on the mechanical properties under compression loading conditions. Assessing a relationship between mechanical properties and sintering temperature, or in other words between scaffold performance and fabrication process, is a key step towards the rationale design of optimized scaffolds for tissue repair.

Porous irons with only micropores were produced through powder metallurgy route. Corn starch of small particle size (5-15μm) was utilized to regulate the densification of green compacts. The structural and mechanical properties of porous irons sintered at different temperatures were evaluated. The porosities increased with increasing the starch content, which reduced compressive strength and increased volumetric shrinkage. The compressive yield stress increased with increasing sintering temperature. It was also found that the effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and compressive properties was more obvious when green compacts were less densified. Moreover, volumetric shrinkage of porous irons without adding starch remains in a quite low level for different sintering temperatures.

Tronohs raw sand was converted into fine silica particles via a series of milling process. Addition of these fine particles into iron composite was found to modify its mechanical properties. The composite was prepared using powder metallurgy technique with varying percentage of silica particles; 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25wt%. The composites were sintered at three different temperatures; 1000° C, 1100° C and 1200° C to find the most suitable sintering temperature. Changes in density and hardness were observed. The results showed that composite consist of 20wt% silica particles and sintered at 1100° C exhibits best improvement.

Al/Al2O3 composites were fabricated by a displacement reaction between SiO2 and molten Al. In this study, fabrication of Al/Al2O3 composites was attempted by means of reactive infiltration to provide variation of their mechanical properties. SiO2 preforms having various porosities and pore size distributions were prepared by sintering the powder at different temperatures between 1273 and 1723 K. Molten Al was infiltrated at 1373 K without application of pressure. Infiltration kinetics were studied and the microstructures of the composite bodies were observed by means of scanning electron microscopy (with energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis), wave dispersive x-ray microanalysis, and x-ray diffractions. The infiltrated specimens were mainly composed of Al and α–Al2O3 phases, and the Si content was less than 5 at.%. Volume fraction of Al phase in the composite bodies was not altered very much with the porosities of the SiO2 preforms because of the difficulty in filling out the entire pore space. Properties and microstructures of Al/Al2O3 composites, however, were dependent on the sintering temperature of the SiO2 preforms. In the case of low sintering temperature, a thick Al channel existed, which deformed upon compression. In the case of high sintering temperature, the microstructure became homogeneous and had thinner Al channels. The composite bodies became brittle. The deformation behavior was shown to be changed from ductile to brittle as an increase of the sintering temperature of the preforms.

AbstractNanostructured Al-Mg bulk samples with compositions in the range of 10 – 40 at.% Mg have been produced by consolidation of mechanical alloyed powders. Powders with composition Al90Mg10 and Al80Mg20 were consolidated into highly dense specimens by hot extrusion. Room temperature compression tests for the Al90Mg10 specimen reveal interesting mechanical properties, namely, a high strength of 630 MPa combined with a plastic strain of about 4 %. The increase of the Mg content to 20 at.% increases the strength by about 100 MPa but it suppresses plastic deformation. The Al60Mg40 powder was consolidated at different temperatures by spark plasma sintering and the effect of the sintering temperature on microstructure, density and hardness have been studied. The results reveal that both density and hardness of the consolidated samples increase with increasing sintering temperature, while retaining a nanocrystalline structure. These results indicate that powder metallurgy is a suitable processing route for the production of nanocrystalline Al-Mg alloys with promising mechanical properties.

Zirconia-based ceramics exhibit excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility in dental applications. However, the production of translucent zirconia that offers resemblance to real teeth remains a challenge. This study aims to fabricate zirconia compacts by cold isostatic pressing (CIP) and investigate the influence of sintering temperature on translucency, microstructure, hardness, and density of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP). Zirconia stabilized with 3 mol% yttria (3Y-TZP) was pressed by uniaxial pressing and later by CIP to produce green bodies in pellet form. Subsequently, the green bodies were sintered at different temperatures (1100 °C to 1300 °C). The specimens were then investigated in terms of translucency, density, and hardness. X-ray diffraction was also performed and the microstructure of the specimens was observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Density and light transmittance tests results showed that zirconia sintered at 1200 °C exhibits the highest density (5.957 g/cm3) and light transmittance intensity. Vickers hardness test showed that higher sintering temperatures result in higher hardness of the sintered zirconia. SEM micrographs illustrate the effect of microstructural changes on the translucency of zirconia. A temperature of 1200 °C is found to be the recommended sintering temperature at which zirconia exhibiting optimum translucency and mechanical properties is produced. CIP is found to be a suitable consolidation method to produce high-density translucent zirconia.
