Ti3SiC2compound was synthesized from the starting powder mixtures of 3Ti/1.2Si/2C/xAl (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) by using arc melting method. The effect of Al on the Ti3SiC2formation was studied. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the synthesized materials. It was found that the addition of Al increased the purity of Ti3SiC2. Whenx=0.2, Ti3SiC2content in the final product reached 67% after being ball milled for 24 hours. However, excessive Al reduced the content of Ti3SiC2. In addition, the density of the final product decreased with increasing of Al content. It was revealed that addition of Al in the starting powders can increase the final product purity.

Experimental results on the preparation of functionally graded TiC-based cermets obtained by combustion synthesis (also known as Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis, SHS) followed by quasi-isostatic (QIP) pressing in a granulate medium are presented. Pellets of TiC-Fe graded cermets are produced by stacking layers of Ti and C powder mixtures in which the content of a NiFe alloy (50 wt% Ni and 50 wt% Fe) is varied from 5 up to 25 vol %. X-ray diffraction showed that the NiFe alloy did not react with the TiC, thus preserving its special properties. Scanning electron microscopy results show a graded material with pores increasing in size towards the side with the highest ceramic fraction.

TiCx–Al2O3 composites have been synthesized by pressure-assisted combustion synthesis of (Ti + C + Al2O3) reactant powder. Different alumina contents (10–40 vol%) have been investigated to study the dilution effect on TiC microstructure. A mechanical method and a mixed chemical/mechanical method have been used to obtain (Ti + C + Al2O3) powder mixtures with different alumina distributions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations of these mixtures show that alumina is distributed inside micrometric (Ti + C) aggregates for the first method whereas alumina is located around (Ti + C) aggregates for the second one. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM analyses of the composites indicate that TiCx is substoichiometric in carbon and mainly consists of submicrometric grains. A distribution of Al2O3 inside (Ti + C) aggregates is more efficient to reduce TiC grain size. For the 40 vol% Al2O3 diluted (Ti + C) mixture prepared from the mechanical route, TiCx nanocrystallites have been successfully stabilized, which demonstrates that the addition of Al2O3 diluent in a (Ti + C) mixture can be efficiently used to inhibit grain growth.

In this paper, titanium silicon carbide (Ti3SiC2) powders were synthesized from TiH2 as Ti source by pressureless sintering in flowing argon atmosphere without preliminary dehydrogenation. Starting materials are powder mixtures with the mole ratio of 3TiH2/Si/2C or 3TiH2/SiC/C. Both kinds of starting materials were sintered in a tube furnace at the temperature range from 1300°C to 1500°C for 10~180min in flowing argon atmosphere. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the phase compositions and morphology of the products after different treatments. It was showed that almost single phase Ti3SiC2 powder (94.7 wt.%) can be synthesized by pressureless sintering from 3TiH2/Si/2C powders at 1400~1425°C for about 180min or from 3TiH2/SiC/C powders at 1425~1500°C for about 180min. From SEM micrographs, as-synthesized samples were porous. Most plate-like grains were about 5~10 μm in diameter and 1~2 μm in thickness. The speed of temperature increasing is an important factor to affect the purity of as-synthesized Ti3SiC2.

In Situ Formation

The fabrication of intermetallic/ceramic composites by combustion synthesis in the mode of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) was investigated in the Al–Ni–Ti system with the addition of B4C. Two reaction systems were employed: one was used to produce the composites of xNiAl–2TiB2–TiC with x = 2–7, and the other was used to synthesize yNi3Al–2TiB2–TiC with y = 2–7. The reaction mechanism of the Al–Ni–Ti system was strongly influenced by the presence of B4C. The reaction of B4C with Ti was highly exothermic, so the reaction temperature and combustion velocity decreased due to increasing levels of Ni and Al in the reactant mixture. The activation energies of Ea = 110.6 and 172.1 kJ/mol were obtained for the fabrication of NiAl- and Ni3Al-based composites, respectively, by the SHS reaction. The XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis showed an in situ formation of intermetallic (NiAl and Ni3Al) and ceramic phases (TiB2 and TiC) and confirmed no reactions taking place between Ti and Al or Ni. The microstructure of the product revealed large NiAl and Ni3Al grains and small TiB2 and TiC particles. With the addition of TiB2 and TiC, the hardness of NiAl and Ni3Al was considerably increased and the toughness was also improved.

The steel substrate was coated by Fe-based composite using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction of reactant coating paste. The green paste was prepared by mixing precursor powders of Al, Fe2O3and Al2O3. It was coated on the steel substrate before igniting by oxy-acetylene flame. The effect of coating paste thickness and the additives on the resulted Fe-based composite coating was studied. The composite coating was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) couple with dispersive X-ray (EDS).

Steel pipe lined Fe-Al intermetallic-TiB2-Al2O3composite were prepared by centrifugal-self-propagating high temperature synthesis (centrifugal-SHS) process from FeTiO3, B2O3, Fe2O3, Al and CaF2as raw materials. The standard Gibbs energy minimization method was used to calculate the equilibrium compositions of the reacting species. The effect of adding CaF2to the precursors on the result product were investigated. The phase separation between less porosity Fe-Al intermetallics-TiB2with Al2O3layer were affected greatly by adding CaF2. The phase compositions and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) couple with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), respectively.

ABSTRACTA multianvil device was used to investigate the formation of BxO phases produced in the 2 to 10 GPa pressure range with temperatures between 1000 and 1800 °C.Amorphous and crystalline B and BP were oxidized using B2O3 and CrO3. Using powder X-ray diffraction and parallel electron energy-loss spectroscopy (PEELS), we were unable to detect graphitic or diamondstructured B2O, reported in previous studies. The refractory boride B6O, which has the α-rhombohedral boron structure, is the dominant suboxide in the P and T range of our investigation. PEELS with a transmission electron microscope was used to characterize the boron oxides.

Inter-metallic compound of Ti3SiC2was produced via modified-SHS (self-propagating high temperature synthesis). Elemental powders of titanium, silicon and graphite were weighed according to their stoichiometric ratios (3:1:2) respectively. These powders were ball milled for 1 hour, then compacted into cylindrical shape. Synthesis of Ti3SiC2was carried out by using arc melting method. The effect of different arc melting time of 10, 30 and 60 seconds was studied. Phase formation and microstructure were analyzed by using XRD and SEM. The formation of Ti3SiC2was confirmed by XRD, and the SEM micrograph shows that the grain is in needle shape. XRD result also shows that the impurities are present in all the samples. TiC appeared to be the common and dominant impurity in all samples, with relatively low intensities in Ti5Si3and TiSi2phases. Some raw materials phase was still existed in sample arc melted for 10 and 30 seconds. Hence, it can be deduced that the raw materials had not yet fully taking part in the formation of Ti3SiC2.

This work was aimed at studying the tribological properties of nanolamellar tungsten and molybdenum disulfides produced from nanosized W and Mo nanopowders by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The prepared WS2and MoS2powders were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). For tribological tests, oil-based lubricants added with nanolamellar tungsten and molybdenum disulfides were prepared. The tribological tests show that the friction coefficient of the nanolamellar powders is lower than that of commercial powder(μmin=0.024and 0.064, resp.). It is also found that the oil-based lubricants with nanolamellar disulfide additives display higher antifriction and antiwear properties compared to commercial powder.
