A dense nanostructured 5NbSi2-SiC-Si3N4 composite was synthesized by the high-frequency induction-heated combustion synthesis (HFIHCS) method within 1 minute in one step from mechanically activated powders of 4NbN, NbC and 14Si. A highly dense 5NbSi2-SiC-Si3N4 composite with relative density of up to 98% was produced under the simultaneous application of a pressure of 80 MPa and the induced current. The average grain size and mechanical properties (hardness and fracture toughness) of the composite were investigated.

The rapid sintering of nanostuctured SiC hard materials was investigated with high-frequency induction heating sintering process. The advantage of this process is that it allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and prohibition of grain growth in nanostuctured materials. A dense nanostructured SiC hard material was produced with simultaneous application of 500 MPa pressure and induced current within 2 minutes. The effect of the ball milling times on the sintering behavior, grain size and mechanical properties of binderless SiC was investigated.

By the high frequency induction heated combustion synthesis (HFIHCS) method, dense nanostructured TaSi2-SiC composite was synthesized within 2 minutes and in a single step from powders of TaC and 3Si. Simultaneous combustion synthesis and densification were accomplished under the combined effects of an induced current and mechanical pressure. Highly dense TaSi2-SiC with relative density of up to 97% were produced under a 60MPa pressure and induced current. The average grain size and mechanical properties (hardness and fracture toughness) of the composite were investigated.

The current concern about WC focuses on its low fracture toughness below the ductile-brittle transition temperature despite its many attractive properties. To improve its mechanical properties, the approach generally utilized has been the addition of a second phase to form composites and to make nanostructured materials. In this paper, graphene was evaluated as the reinforcing agent in WC ceramics using a novel sintering method (high-frequency induction heated sintering method). Highly dense nanostructured WC and WC-graphene composites were obtained within two min at 1550 °C. The effect of graphene on the grain size and the mechanical properties (hardness and fracture toughness) of WC-graphene composites was evaluated.

Hard materials, in particular tungsten carbide ( WC ) hard material has been used in many industries as cutting tool and abrasive materials. For improving toughness, binders are added into carbide materials. The effect of Co as binder on the mechanical properties in the nanosized WC was discussed. The hardness and fracture toughness were also investigated using 30 kgf load Vickers indenter. The nanosized WC-8 , 10 and 12 vol.% Co composites were successfully fabricated without grain growth by high frequency induction heated sintering (HFIHS), which is the rapid sintering method, due to short sintering time 1140°C. The nanosized WC–Co composites fabricated by HFIHS have better mechanical properties than WC–Co composite fabricated by commercial sintering.

Nanostructured WC-Al2O3-Al composites was sintered using rapid high-frequency induction heated sintering (HFIHS) and the mechanical properties such as hardness and fracture toughness with consolidation were investigated. The HFIHS method induced a very fast densification nearly at the level of theoretical density and successfully prohibited grain growth, resulting in nano-sized grains. The fracture toughness was improved due to the consolidation facilitated by adding Al to WC-Al2O3 matrix. The WC-Al2O3 composites added with 5 and 10 vol.% Al showed higher hardness and fracture toughness compared with that of WC-Al2O3.

Nanopowders of 3NiAl and Al2O3were synthesized from 3NiO and 5Al powders by high-energy ball milling. Nanocrystalline Al2O3reinforced composite was consolidated by high-frequency induction-heated sintering within 3 minutes from mechanochemically synthesized powders of Al2O3and 3NiAl. The advantage of this process is that it allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and inhibition grain growth. Nanocrystalline materials have received much attention as advanced engineering materials with improved physical and mechanical properties. The relative density of the composite was 97%. The average Vickers hardness and fracture toughness values obtained were 804 kg/mm2and 7.5 MPa⋅m1/2, respectively.

A dense nanostructured 2HfB2-SiC composite was simultaneously synthesized and consolidated by the pulsed current activated sintering method in one step within very short time (two minutes) from mechanically activated 2Hf, B4C and Si powders. Simultaneous combustion synthesis and consolidation were achieved through the combination of the effects of the pulsed current and mechanical pressure. A highly dense 2HfB2–SiC composite with 97.5% relative density was achieved under the simultaneous application of a pressure of 80 MPa and the pulsed current. The fracture toughness of the 2HfB2–SiC composite was higher than that of monolithic HfB2.
