Laminated Composite Material

The Ti/TiC/C laminated composite material was fabricated with the sheet of Ti and C by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology. The effects of thickness ratio on the interface characteristics and mechanical properties of interfacial reaction were studied. The results show that: the reaction layer thickness increases with the thickness ratio. When the thickness ratio was 3:1, the degree of interfacial reaction was better in the case of other conditions are the same. The thickness of reaction layer achieved 33.58μm. The laminated composite bending strength and fracture power reached the maximum 3494.52MPa and 614.89×103J/m2, respectively. The greater fracture power, the more energy absorbed in the process of damage, the higher toughness improved.

P Type

P-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 compounds doped with 3wt% Te were fabricated by spark plasma sintering and their mechanical and thermoelectric properties were investigated. The sintered compounds with the bending strength of more than 50MPa and the figure-of-merit 2.9×10-3/K were obtained by controlling the mixing ratio of large powders (PL) and small powders (PS). Compared with the conventionally prepared single crystal thermoelectric materials, the bending strength was increased up to more than three times and the figure-of-merit Z was similar those of single crystals. It is expected that the mechanical properties could be improved by using hybrid powders without degradation of thermoelectric properties.

This study aims to fabricate SiC whisker (w)/ particle (p)-reinforced magnesium (Mg) composites with enhanced mechanical properties using spark plasma sintering (SPS) methods. It has been confirmed that dispersing state of SiCw can be improved by addition of SiCp. However, due to presence of voids and cracks between the oxide layers, surrounding SiCw/p, and Mg matrix in the composites, SiCw with SiCp cannot contribute to enhance the bending strength of Mg matrix. This issue can be tackled by adding low melting point metals such as Sn into the composites to fill the defects in the composites.

The Impact

The impact of Fe, Co, Ni nano-additives on the density, microhardness and bending strength was investigated for several sintered pellets. Fe, Co, Ni nanopowders (NP) were prepared in the size range 67-94 nm using chemical metallurgy techniques. These powders (0.5 wt. %) were dispersed into three sets of micron powders: Co (+0.5 wt. % Co NP); Fe (+0.5 wt. % Fe NP); Fe+0.5wt. % C (+0.5 wt. % Co and 0.5 wt. % Ni NP). Mixtures were further mixed and processed using a magnetic mill and a turbulent mixer. Sintering was carried out using spark plasma sintering (SPS) as well as pressureless sintering (PS). The densities of sintered pellets were found to increase by 2.5-3% (SPS) and 3-5% (PS) in the presence of nano-additives; corresponding increases in microhardness and bending strength were determined to be 7.9-11.1% and 17.9-38.7%, respectively. These results are discussed in terms enhanced packing due to interparticle sliding and the filling of free spaces with the nanodisperse phase.

The γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds were produced at the temperature ranging from 850°C to 1050°C by the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) process. The effects of sintering temperature and holding time on the mechanical properties of γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds were investigated. The γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds sintered at 1050°C for 10 min showed a high relative density more than 98%, and had the best three-point bending strength of 643MPa, fracture toughness of 12 MPa·m1/2 and microhardness of 560MPa. The microstructural observations indicated typical characteristics of intergranular fracture, which meant the poor ductility of γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds.

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) investigations were carried out on three sets of Co specimens: untreated, high energy mechanically (HEMT) pre-treated, and nanomodified powders. The microstructure, density, and mechanical properties of sintered pellets were investigated as a function of various pre-treatments and sintering temperatures (700–1000 °C). Fine-grained sinters were obtained for pre-treated Co powders; nano-additives tended to inhibit grain growth by reinforcing particles at grain boundaries and limiting grain-boundary movement. High degree of compaction was also achieved with relative densities of sintered Co pellets ranging between 95.2% and 99.6%. A direct co-relation was observed between the mechanical properties and densities of sintered Co pellets. For a comparable sinter quality, sintering temperatures for pre-treated powders were lower by 100 °C as compared to untreated powders. Highest values of bending strength (1997 MPa), microhardness (305 MPa), and relative density (99.6%) were observed for nanomodified HEMT and SPS processed Co pellets, sintered at 700 °C.

The Relationship

Ti2AlC/TiAl composites with the addition of niobium were prepared by spark plasma sintering using titanium, aluminum, niobium elemental powers and TiC particles as reactants. The experimental and analytical studies on this kind of material concentrated on the relationship between reinforcement phase and mechanical properties. The Ti2AlC/TiAl composites with 5% niobium exhibit high mechanical properties. The three-point bending strength and fracture toughness reaches as high as 915MPa and 23 MPa·m1/2, respectively. It is found that the in-situ reaction occurs at 1100°C with the addition of niobium at the interface between the TiAl matrix and original reinforcement TiC. Further XRD results indicate that the difference in the reinforcement phase from TiC to Ti2AlC is one of the most important origins to the variation in mechanical properties.

Abstract B4C-TiB2 composite ceramics with ultra-high fracture toughness were successfully prepared via spark plasma sintering at 1900℃ using B4C and Ti3SiC2 as raw materials. The results show that compared with pure B4C ceramics sintered by SPS, the hardness of B4C-TiB2 composite ceramics is decreased, but the flexural strength and fracture toughness are significantly improved, especially the fracture toughness has been improved by leaps and bounds. When the content of Ti3SiC2 is 30vol.%, the B4C-TiB2 composite ceramic has the best comprehensive mechanical properties: hardness, bending strength and fracture toughness are 27.28 GPa, 405.11 MPa and 18.94 MPa·m1/2, respectively. The fracture mode of the B4C-TiB2 composite ceramics is a mixture of transgranular fracture and intergranular fracture. Two main two reasons for the ultra-high fracture toughness are the existence of lamellar graphite at the grain boundary, and the formation of a three-dimensional interpenetrating network covering the whole composite.

Rapid Heat Treatment

In this paper Ti2AlC/TiAl composites were in-situ fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and then the effects of rapid heat-treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti2AlC/TiAl composites were investigated. After rapid heat-treatment the microstructure of TiAl matrix was significantly transformed from the near γ microstructure to duplex microstructure. Ti2AlC particles effectively refined the γ phase grains and the α2/γ lamellar colony microstructure. For the Ti2AlC/TiAl composite after rapid heat-treatment at 1200°C, the bending strength and fracture toughness reached 956.8MPa and 22.8MPa·m1/2, respectively.
