AbstractCubic β-SiC was processed under conditions of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, based on the exothermic reaction between elemental Si and C powders. The set up for the synthesis of SiC using a mixture of Si and C is described. X-Ray and Raman spectroscopy studies were performed to characterize the quality of the β-SiC produced using the new set up. Scanning Electron Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy studies were also carried out to study the mechanism of the formation of β-SiC from the elemental powders. The density of the compact and grain size of the graphite was found to be critical in the formation of the SiC. Diamond seeds were also implanted on the SiC pellet while compaction and this implanted diamond provided the necessary seed for the growth of a thick diamond film. The adhesion of the film is good because of its growth from the implanted diamond. Diamond films were grown on SiC using HFCVD. The quality and the adhesion of the diamond films on SiC were studied using SEM.

The Ni3Al and Ni3Al-B-Cr alloys were fabricated by the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis with hot extrusion method. Their microstructure and mechanical properties were studied by using combination of X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and compression test. Analysis of X-ray spectra exhibited that the elemental powders had been transformed to the Ni3Al phase after the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis processing. Microstructure examination showed that the alloy without extrusion consisted of coarse and fine grains, but the subsequent hot extrusion procedure homogenized the grain size and densified the alloy obviously. Transmission electron microscopy observations on the Ni3Al alloy revealed that Ni3Al, γ-Ni and Al2O3 particles were the main phases. When the boron and chromium were added, besides the β-NiAl phase, α-Cr phase and some Cr7Ni3 particles with stacking faults inside were observed. In addition, a lot of substructure and high-density dislocation arrays were observed in the extruded part, which indicated that the subsequent extrusion had led to great deformation and partly recrystallizing in the alloy. Moreover, the subsequent extrusion procedure redistributed the Al2O3 particles and eliminated the γ-Ni. These changes were helpful to refine the microstructure and weaken the misorientation. The mechanical test showed that the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis with hot extrusion improved the mechanical properties of the Ni3Al alloy significantly. The addition of B and Cr in Ni3Al alloy increased the mechanical properties further, but the compressive strength of the alloy was still lower than that synthesized by combustion. Finally, the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis with hot extrusion was a good method to prepare Ni3Al alloy from powder.

The Si-SiC nanocomposites have been synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) from natural precursors. The effects of difference amount of added NaCl from 0 to 0.75 moles to the reactants on the Si-SiC conversion and particle size were investigated. The reaction were carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at the pressure of 0.5 MPa. The nanocomposite results have been characterized by scanning electron microscope, Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the production of nano-composite materials using SHS process is feasible and agree well with the thermodynamics calculations.

AbstractThe new samarium germanide SmGe3 is obtained by high-pressure high-temperature synthesis of pre-reacted mixtures of samarium and germanium at a pressure of 9.5 GPa and temperatures between 1073 and 1273 K. SmGe3 decomposes at 470(5) K into SmGe2, α-Sm3Ge5 and a hitherto unknown phase. SmGe3 exhibits a superstructure of the cubic Cu3Au-type. Transmission electron microscopy measurements of crystalline particles and prepared lamellae indicate a high density of defects on the nanoscale. Selected area electron diffraction and elaborate X-ray powder diffraction measurements consistently indicate a 2a0 × 2a0 × 2a0 superstructure adopting space group $Fm\overline{3}m$ with a = 8.6719(2) Å.

Four types of boron nitride (BN) nanotubes are selectively synthesized by annealing porous precursor in flowing NH3 and NH3/H2 atmosphere at temperature ranging from 1000 to 1200°C in a vertical furnace. The as-synthesized BN nanotubes, including cylinder, wave, bamboo and bubble-chain, are characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Selectivity of BN nanotubes is estimated as approximately 80 to 95%. The porous precursor B31Fe17(MgO)27 prepared by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis (SHS) method plays a key role in controllable synthesis of the as-grown BN nanotubes. The chemical reaction and annealing mechanism are also discussed.

ABSTRACTA multianvil device was used to investigate the formation of BxO phases produced in the 2 to 10 GPa pressure range with temperatures between 1000 and 1800 °C.Amorphous and crystalline B and BP were oxidized using B2O3 and CrO3. Using powder X-ray diffraction and parallel electron energy-loss spectroscopy (PEELS), we were unable to detect graphitic or diamondstructured B2O, reported in previous studies. The refractory boride B6O, which has the α-rhombohedral boron structure, is the dominant suboxide in the P and T range of our investigation. PEELS with a transmission electron microscope was used to characterize the boron oxides.

This work was aimed at studying the tribological properties of nanolamellar tungsten and molybdenum disulfides produced from nanosized W and Mo nanopowders by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The prepared WS2and MoS2powders were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). For tribological tests, oil-based lubricants added with nanolamellar tungsten and molybdenum disulfides were prepared. The tribological tests show that the friction coefficient of the nanolamellar powders is lower than that of commercial powder(μmin=0.024and 0.064, resp.). It is also found that the oil-based lubricants with nanolamellar disulfide additives display higher antifriction and antiwear properties compared to commercial powder.

AbstractEffect of different Sn contents on combustion synthesis of Ti2SnC was studied using elemental Ti, Sn, C and TiC powders as raw materials in the Ti-Sn-C and Ti-Sn-C-TiC system, in which the molar ratio of Ti/C was set as 2:1. The reaction mechanism for the formation of Ti2SnC was also investigated. The results showed that the amount of Ti2SnC in combustion products firstly increased with increasing of Sn content (0.6 to 0.8 mol), and then decreased with further increasing of Sn content (1.0 to 1.2 mol). Upon addition of 15 % TiC instead of Ti and C, the optimum addition of Sn decreased to 0.7 mol and a higher purity of Ti2SnC was obtained. The Ti2SnC powders were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Microstructure of sphalerite (3C) boron phosphide, BP, produced by self-propagated high-temperature synthesis has been studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Along with numerous twins on the {111}3C plane, layers of wurtzite (2H) polymorphic modification and previously unknown for BP rhombohedral (3R) structure were found which indicates trimorphism of BP.

To make the most of unique properties of diamond and to diminish an influence its disadvantageous properties new diamond tool composites with ceramic bonding phase (MAX) has been proposed. Ti3(Si,Ge)C2 and Ti3SiC2 were produced by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS). 3-6 µm (MDA, De Beers) diamond powder was mechanically mixed with 10 wt% Ti3(Si,Ge)C2 or 30 wt% Ti3SiC2, pressed and the compacts were sintered at 1962 °C at 8.0 GPa in a Bridgman-type high pressure apparatus. These mechanical properties were determined: Vickers hardness HV1, Young’s modulus, tensile strength, fracture toughness and wear resistance.Microstructure and phase composition were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray and electron diffraction techniques. To improve the final quality of the AlCu4MgSi(A) alloy, balls of diamond-new composites were incorporated into the burnishing tools. The influence of burnishing parameters, such as burnishing force and feed, on surface geometry parameters were measured and profilograms of the surface roughness recorded.
