Silicon nitride nanoceramics were prepared by hot press sintering amorphous Si3N4and α-Si3N4nanopowders. The microstructures as well as the effect of starting powders size on the mechanical properties and thermal fatigue properties were investigated. The results show that microstructure of sintered materials consists of spherical grains with approximate size of 100 nm. The mechanical properties and thermal fatigue resistance vary with the addition of α–Si3N4powders. The maximum flexural strength and fracture toughness are obtained when the α–Si3N4powders amount is 40wt.%. And the Si3N4nanoceramic added 40wt.% α–Si3N4powders has the best capability to suppress crack propagation and the highest critical temperature difference.

Silicon nitride nanoceramics were fabricated by hot press sintering two kinds of Si3N4nano-sized powders. The effect of starting powders on microstructure, mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance were investigated. The microstructure of sintered materials consists of spherical grains and the addition of α–Si3N4to starting powders does not affect the grain morphology. The flexural strength, fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance increase with the increase in amount of α–Si3N4starting powders, and the maximum mechanical properties are obtained when the amount of α–Si3N4 powders is 40wt.%. The hardness values decrease with the increase of α–Si3N4amount.

An Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was prepared with Fe-Fe2O3-Al2O3 powder by a hot press sintering method. The mass ratio was 6:1:2, sintering pressure was 30 MPa, and holding time was 120 min. The raw materials for the powder particles were respectively 1 µm (Fe), 0.5 µm (Fe2O3), and 1 µm (Al2O3) in diameter. The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was studied. The results showed that Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was formed by in situ reaction at 1300 °C–1500 °C. With the increased sintering temperature, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe/FeAl2O4 composite showed a change law that initially became better and then became worse. The best microstructure and optimal mechanical properties were obtained at 1400 °C. At this temperature, the grain size of Fe and FeAl2O4 phases in Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was uniform, the relative density was 96.7%, and the Vickers hardness and bending strength were 1.88 GPa and 280.0 MPa, respectively. The wettability between Fe and FeAl2O4 was enhanced with increased sintering temperature. And then the densification process was accelerated. Finally, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe/FeAl2O4 composite were improved.

Al2O3-MgO, Al2O3-Y2O3 and Al2O3-MgO-Y2O3 composite ceramics were fabricated respectively by hot-press sintering technique. With the analysis of the mechanical properties and microstructure, it was found that single additive MgO could be more favorable to the grains’ refinement and densification than Y2O3; the composite additive including both MgO and Y2O3 was better than single additive MgO or Y2O3, because their interactions could improve the mechanical properties of the Al2O3 ceramics; The sintering temperature could be reduced by adding the suitable amount of composite additives.

In order to investigate the effects of TiN content on Al2O3/TiN ceramic material (ATN), the ATN ceramic materials were prepared of TiN content in 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% in the condition of hot press sintering. The sintering temperature is 1700°C, the sintering press is 32MPa, and the holding time are 5min, 10min, 15min. The effects of TiN content on mechanical properties and microstructure of ATN ceramic materials were investigated by analyzing the bending strength, hardness, fracture toughness. The results show that ATN50 has the best mechanical property, its bending strength is 659.41MPa, vickers hardness is 13.79GPa, fracture toughness is 7.06MPa·m1/2. It is indicated that the TiN content has important effect on microstructure and mechanical properties of ATN ceramic materials.

The ZrC-W composites with iron as sintering additive were fabricated by hot-press sintering. The densification, microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The incorporation of Fe beneficially promotes the densification of ZrC-W composites. The relative density of the composite sintered at 1900°C can attain 95.3%. W2C phase is also found in the ZrC-W composite sintered at 1700°C. The content of W2C decreases with the increase of sintering temperature. However, W2C phase is not identified in the composite sintered at 1900°C. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites are strongly dependent on sintering temperature. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of ZrC-W composite sintered at optimized temperature of 1800°C are 438 MPa and 3.99 MPa·m1/2, respectively.

Sintering of the Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis (SHS) of β-Si3N4 powder with 6.67 wt.% Y2O3 and 3.33 wt.% Al2O3 as sintering additives has been emphatically investigated using hot-press sintering process. The relative density of hot-pressed β-Si3N4 reached near to the full densification (99.43%) at 1700°C. The similar micrographs with self-reinforcing rod-like β-Si3N4 grains forming an interlocking structure were observed. The better mechanical properties of hot-pressed Si3N4, such as the hardness (16.73GPa), fracture toughness (5.72 MPa·m1/2) and bending strength (611.72MPa) values, were obtained at 1700°C. The results indicate that good sinter ability can be obtained with the cheaply SHS of silicon nitride powder for preparing silicon nitride materials, which will make the cost of silicon nitride materials lowered.

The effect of particle size of iron and size of reinforce particle on properties of materials was studied systematically by the specimen current direct heating dynamic hot press sintering. It is found that mechanical properties of composites increase with the increasing particle size of iron. The properties of SiCp/Fe composites firstly increase and decrease with particle size of SiC and properties are better when size is 15μm.
