Al2O3-TiN-TiC ceramic materials with different MgO content were fabricated by hot-pressing technique. The MgO volume percent was varied from 0vol% to 5vol%. The mechanical properties such as flexural strength, Vickers hardness and fracture toughness were tested. The phase composition of the sintered body was analyzed by XRD while the microstures of the sintering body were observed by OM (Optical Microscope) and SEM. The effects of MgO content on the mechanical properties and microstructures of Al2O3-TiN-TiC were investigated. The results shows that the addition of MgO can change the phase composition of the sintered ceramic materials which displayed with diverse solid solutions and intermetallic compounds. Meanwhile the new sintering products changed the the microstructure morphology which made the crack path complex and affected the mechanical properties.

Al2O3-TiN-TiC ceramic materials with different MgO content were fabricated by hot-pressing technique. The MgO volume percent was varied from 0vol% to 5vol%. Three point bending test was applied to get the flexural strength and the Vickers indentation was applied to get the Vickers hardness and the fracture toughness. The phase composition of the ceramics was analyzed by XRD. The effects of the content of MgO on the mechanical properties and the phase composition of Al2O3-TiN-TiC were investigated. The results shows that the addition of MgO can change the phase composition of the sintered ceramic materials which displayed with diverse solid solutions and intermetallic compounds.

Platelet Formation

A possibility of the SrAl12O19platelet formation in the Al2O3– ZrO2ceramic using SrCO3or Sr3Al2O6is evaluated. An impact of two techniques of platelet synthesis on mechanical properties of the material is investigated. Defects revealed in the sintered ceramic material are analyzed. Recommendations on the best method of the SrAl12O19phase formation in ceramic materials are given based on the structural and X-ray diffraction analyses as well as on mechanical tests. It is shown that an addition of 3 wt% SrAl12O19into the ZTA ceramic results in an increase in fracture toughness by up to 30 % in comparison with the initial material.

AbstractWe have studied the effect of the ratio between concentrations of zirconium dioxide (stabilized by CaO) and corundum on phase composition and mechanical properties of nanostructured CaO–ZrO_2–Al_2O_3 ceramic composites. The CaO–ZrO_2–Al_2O_3 composites sintered at temperatures typical of ZrO_2 are found to be characterized by the optimal microhardness/fracture toughness ratio at corundum content $${{C}_{{{\text{A}}{{{\text{l}}}_{2}}{{{\text{O}}}_{3}}}}}$$ = 5%. These composites have a high flexural strength; their porosity, coefficient of friction, and wear are typical of those for CaO–ZrO_2 ceramics.

ZrB2-based ceramic composites were prepared through hot-pressing at a temperature of 1880°C. An intragranular microstructure was achieved because of the existence of nanoSiC. In this paper, the mechanical properties of ceramic materials of ZrB2-SiC-G were studied, and the influence of intragranular microstructure on the mechanical properties was analyzed. The values of flexural strength and fracture toughness of ZrB2-20vol%SiCnp-15vol%G reached 551.9MPa and 5.25MPa·m1/2, respectively. Compared to ZrB2-20vol%SiC-15vol%G with micro-SiC, the fracture toughness was improved.

AbstractIn this work, bulk Zr3Al3C5-based ceramics were synthesized by the infiltration of Al-Si melt into zirconium carbide (ZrC) perform. The phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of as-fabricated ceramics were studied. The results demonstrate that Si is more effective to reduce the twin boundary energy of ZrC than Al, and thus promotes the decrease of formation temperature of Zr3Al3C5. With the infiltration temperatures increasing from 1200 to 1500 °C, the Zr3Al3C5 content increases from 10 to 49 vol%, which is contributed to the increase of flexural strength from 62±9 to 222±10 MPa, and fracture toughness (KIC) from 2.8±0.2 to 4.1±0.3 MPa·m1/2. The decrease of mechanical properties for the samples fabricated at 1600 °C is ascribed to the abnormal growth of Zr3Al3C5 grains.

In Situ Composite

Al2O3/TiAl in situ composites doped with Cr and V2O5 were successfully prepared from Ti, Al, TiO2, Cr and V2O5 by hot pressing. The effect of in situ formed Al2O3 content on the phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of Al2O3/TiAl composites were investigated. The results show that the as-synthesized composites mainly consisted of ?-TiAl/?2-Ti3Al matrix and dispersive Al2O3 reinforcing phases. The in situ formed fine Al2O3 ceramic particles mainly disperse on the grain boundaries of TiAl, resulting in refinement of TiAl matrix, which improves the mechanical properties of the Al2O3/TiAl in situ composite. The composite with 7.54 at.% Al2O3 possesses the maximum flexural strength and fracture toughness of 335.38 MPa and 5.39 MPa m1/2, respectively. The strengthening mechanism was also discussed in detail.

Reactive Hot Pressing

The Ti3AlC2/Al2O3 in situ composites were successfully synthesized from the system of Ti-TiC-Al-TiO2 by reactive hot pressing at 1350 °C. The effect of TiC content on the phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated in detail. The results indicate that the fabricated products possess the highest purity as the TiC contents reduce to 90 % of its theoretical content. This deviation is mainly attributed to the decomposition of Ti3AlC2 and vaporization of Al at high temperatures. The effect of TiC content on the fracture toughness, flexural strength, Vickers hardness of Ti3AlC2/Al2O3 composites was also discussed in detail.

A new nanomicro composite self-lubricating ceramic tool material was prepared with vacuum hot pressing technique. The effect of nanoAl2O3 powders on the microstructure and mechanical properties of nanomicro composite self-lubricating ceramic tool material was investigated. With the increase of nanoAl2O3 content, the hardness and fracture toughness first up then down. When the nanoAl2O3 content is 4 vol.%, the flexural strength, hardness and fracture toughness reaches 562 MPa, 8.46 MPa·m1/2 and 18.95 GPa, respectively. The microstructure and mechanical property of nanomicro composite self-lubricating ceramic tool material can be improved by the grain refinement strengthening of nanoAl2O3.

Al2O3-TiC-ZrO2ceramic composites (ATZ) were fabricated by hot-pressed sintering. The phases and microstructure of the composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The relative density and mechanical properties (flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vicker’s hardness) of the composites were tested. The results show that the microstructure of the composites was the gray core-white rim. With the increase of sintering temperature, the relative density and mechanical properties of the composites increased first and then decreased. The composite sintered at 1705°C has the highest synthetical properties, and its relative density, flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vickers hardness are 98.3%,970MPa,6.0 MPa•m1/2and 20.5GPa, respectively.

Silicon was infiltrated into B4C preforms to fabricate B4C based composites ceramics at 1600 °C under vacuum circumstance. In this paper, silicon infiltration process was discussed by theoretical calculation. The volume expansion caused by reactions between silicon and boron carbide was about 89.1% from the calculation. In our study, the maximum density of B4C preform for the infiltration of silicon was about 1.5g/cm3 which was larger than theoretical result. The results of mechanical behavior showed that B4C based composites had excellent mechanical properties with a density lower than 2.6g/cm3, Vickers-hardness of this material was 27.2GPa, and this material showed a flexural strength of 349MPa and fracture toughness of 3.8 MPa*m1/2.
