Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

Cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy is widely used in artificial hip and knee joints because of their excellence corrosion and wear resistance, as well as good mechanical properties and biocompatibility. This study investigates the effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of CoCrMo using powder metallurgy technique. CoCrMo powder was mixed with zinc stearate and then put into the shaker mixer at 65 rpm for 3 hours. The powder was then compacted at a pressure of 18T using an automated hydraulic press and sintered at a temperature in the range of 1200 – 1400 °C under 95 Vol% N2/ 5 Vol% H2atmosphere. The microstructure, physical and mechanical properties of the samples are analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Vickers’s microhardness tester and transverse rupture strength (TRS). The study reveals that the density, hardness and strength of CoCrMo samples increase as sintering temperature increases.

CoCrMo alloy are known to be widely applied as biomedical implant materials. They have been practically used for artificial knee joints and hips. This is due to their excellent corrosion and wear resistances as well as good mechanical properties and biocompatibility. This published work is a research to improve the tensile properties of the alloy for load bearing application. This approach is an innovative process that will enhance the mechanical properties of the materials against the conventional processing technique while reducing the number of steps and energy consumption in producing the final parts; hence more economical. Grain refinement is expected to promote significant enhancement in both properties. Preforms are prepared through powder metallurgy route prior to the low strain rate upset forging process. The alloy powder was mixed with zinc stearate as a binder at different milling times. The formulated powder is compacted and then sintered at different temperatures. Characterization of the sintered parts are studied on their microstructure, density, hardness and transverse rupture strength (TRS). Further characterization was done using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the grain refinement in enhancing the properties of the material.

Sintering Method

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.

Observation on the effect of adding titanium oxide (TiO2) and magnesium oxide (MgO) on the sintering of α-alumina (Al2O3) has been performed. In this study, technical alumina used as basic material in which the sample is formed by the pressureless sintering/cold press and sintered at 1500°C which is lower than alumina sintering temperature at 1700°C. Elemental analysis, observation of microstructure, hardness, fracture toughness and density measurements were carried out to determine the physical and mechanical properties of alumina. The results indicate a change in the microstructure where the content of the platelet structure are much more than the equilateral structure. At sintering temperature of 1500°C, neck growth occurs at ceramics grain, supported by the results of the density test which indicate perfect compaction has occurred in this process.

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.

Work Interaction

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.
