Copper-based composite now is a potential material for various applications, while powder metallurgy processing technique is an alternative for high temperature processing materials and net shape component. In this research, Cu-based composite containing 10-50 vol% SiC fibers was fabricated by employing the powder metallurgy route. The mixtures of SiC fibers and Cu particles were blended in a ball milling machine with the addition of ethanol at 150rpm. Then, the mixtures were uniaxially compacted into a ɸ13.5mm cylindrical pallet and followed by sintering in vacuum furnace from 800-950°C for 4 hours. The density of the composite decrease with increasing SiCf and density as high as 87% for 10vol% SiCf/Cu matrix sintered at 800°C had been achieved. The Vickers hardness of 774MPa also had been achieved for 10vol% SiCf/Cu matrix but sintered at 900°C.

Titanium alloy are widely used in biomedical applications due to their excellent properties such as high strength, good corrosion resistance and excellent biocompatibility. Researches are being developed with elements such as Nb and Zr that reach all criterions for excellent biocompatibility and provide titanium alloys with Young’s modulus close to human bone. The aim of this work was to produce Ti-27Nb-13Zr alloy with different milling times by powder metallurgy process. The mixtures were performed by high energy milling and sintering in high vacuum furnace with temperature of 1300 °C / 3 h. The microstructures of samples were analyzed by SEM and XRD, while the mechanical behavior was evaluated by elastic modulus and Vickers hardness test. The diffraction results of sintering treatment indicate that the alloys are composed of α and β phases. Images obtained by SEM indicate the formation of equiaxial structures. Vickers hardness measurements from sintered samples with 1300 °C / 3 h indicate mean values around 413, 473 and 609 HV for 2, 6 and 10 hours of milling, respectively. The values of elastic modulus enable use the alloy as biomaterial.

In this research, composites containing 10-50 vol% SiC whiskers reinforced Cu matrix were fabricated using powder metallurgy technique. The mixtures were blended in a ball milling machine with the addition of ethanol for 2 hours at 150 rpm. The mixtures were allowed to dry in an oven at temperature of 40 °C. Then, the mixtures were uniaxially compacted into a cylindrical pallet of Φ 13.5 x 2 mm under compaction pressure of 472 MPa. It was followed by sintering in vacuum furnace at temperatures of 800-950 °C for 4 hours. The density, microhardness, electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and microscopy analysis of the sintered composites were studied and reported in this paper.

Metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors have been widely utilized in a variety of different roles and industries. They are relatively inexpensive, robust, lightweight, long lasting and benefit from high material and quick response time compared to other sensing technologies. However, there are major challenges need to overcame by developers in order to construct a semiconductor metal oxide gas sensor that is efficient, and durable and most importantly can work at lower temperature. Therefore, in this research, TiO2 dopants was introduced into conventional high purity ZnO gas sensor whereby the samples were prepared in pellet form using powder metallurgy route. The improvement in the mechanical properties as well as the electrical properties of the samples was wished to be observed through this research. The density measurement showed that the adding of TiO2 was efficient to promote the densification of ZnO sample in which 9 wt% TiO2 doped ZnO sample showed the highest density. The XRD results showed that the diffraction pattern was basically attributed to the wurtzite structure of ZnO. This was proven by the plane (1 0 1) had the highest intensity in all the samples except 6 wt% TiO2 and 9 wt% TiO2 doped ZnO sample. SEM showed that the grain size of ZnO decreased with the addition of TiO2. This was caused by the formation of the new phase which was Zn2TiO4. The smaller the grain size, the higher the specific surface area and oxygen adsorption quantity, and therefore the higher the gas sensitivity is. UV-Vis showed that the wavelength of all samples was located around 380 nm. Therefore, the calculated exitonic energy was around 3.20 eV which was nearly matched with the theoretical band gap of ZnO (3.37 eV). The measurement of the resistivity using four point probe showed that the electrical resistivity of the samples decrease up to addition of 9 wt% TiO2. This was attributed to increased carrier concentration. Vickers hardness test showed that the doping of TiO2 had increased the hardness of the sample whereby the 9 wt% TiO2 doped ZnO sample showed the highest value of hardness. The addition of TiO2 into high purity ZnO has influenced the mechanical and electrical properties of ZnO. From observing the microstructural and density measurement to the measurement of the surface resistivity as well as the determination of the Vickers hardness value, it was found that 9 wt% TiO2 doped ZnO was predicted as a candidate for substituting a conventional high purity ZnO as the gas sensor.

To gain a better understanding of the surface faceting that occurs in α-alumina during high temperature processing, atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies have been performed to follow the formation and evolution of the facets. AFM was chosen because it allows for analysis of topographical details down to the atomic level with minimal sample preparation. This is in contrast to SEM analysis, which typically requires the application of conductive coatings that can alter the surface between subsequent heat treatments. Similar experiments have been performed in the TEM; however, due to thin foil and hole edge effects the results may not be representative of the behavior of bulk surfaces.The AFM studies were performed on a Digital Instruments Nanoscope III using microfabricated Si3N4 cantilevers. All images were recorded in air with a nominal applied force of 10-15 nN. The alumina samples were prepared from pre-polished single crystals with (0001), , and nominal surface orientations.
