Fused zirconia alumina has been broadly applied in abrasive industry due to its excellent strength and toughness. The aim of the present work is to investigate the effect of t-ZrO2 content on grinding performance of fused zirconia alumina. Commercial fused alumina zirconia (ZA25) powder was used to fabricate the particle size of 380-830 μm abrasive samples for grinding experiment by pressure granulation and sintering at different temperatures. Phase identification of abrasives sintered at different temperatures was made by X-ray diffractometry and the correlations between t-ZrO2 content and grinding performance of abrasive were also tested. The results showed that t-ZrO2 content of abrasive decreased with sintering temperature increasing within a range of sintering temperatures from 1375 °C to 1450 °C. Grinding performance of abrasive was enhanced as increasing t-ZrO2 phase in abrasive. The better the toughness of abrasive powders, the less shape and size change of abrasive powders during grinding, this is the reason why the high t-ZrO2 phase contained fused zirconia alumina abrasive exhibit high grinding performance.

We synthesized Ta3N5 by ammonolysis of Ta(OH)5. Ta(OH)5 was prepared by titration using TaCl5. The stirring speed and the amount of NH4OH to be added were important factors for controlling the particle size and formation of Ta(OH)5 during titration. During transformation of Ta(OH)5 to Ta3N5, the color changed from white to red. A small particle size and high level of formation of Ta(OH)5 improved nitridation, which was related to the color value. An x-ray diffractometer was used for phase identification. A scanning electron microscope was used to determine the microstructure, particle shape, and size. A colorimeter was used to obtain CIELab values. Ultraviolet–visible (UV–VIS) spectroscopy was carried out to determine the absorbance of colored powders. Thermogravimetry and a differential scanning calorimeter were used in air with a heating rate of 5 °C/min for thermal stability and behavior. An ON detector was used for detecting oxygen and nitrogen contents in Ta3N5.

The effect of milling time and sintering process on the dielectric properties of BaTiO3-based X9R ceramics was investigated. The characterization of the raw powders and the sintered ceramic was carried out by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The particle size distribution of the mixed powders was examined by Laser Particle Size Analyzer. The results shown that with the milling time extended, the Cruie Peak was depressed, or even disappeared. Moreover, with the rise of sintering temperature, the dielectric constant of the ceramics increased and the dielectric loss decreased gradually. Eventually, by milling for 11h and sintering at 1090°Cfor 2h, good dielectric properties were obtained, which were ε25°C≥ 2526, εr/εr25°C≤± 12% (–55~200°C), tanδ≤1.12% (25°C).

Porous irons with only micropores were produced through powder metallurgy route. Corn starch of small particle size (5-15μm) was utilized to regulate the densification of green compacts. The structural and mechanical properties of porous irons sintered at different temperatures were evaluated. The porosities increased with increasing the starch content, which reduced compressive strength and increased volumetric shrinkage. The compressive yield stress increased with increasing sintering temperature. It was also found that the effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and compressive properties was more obvious when green compacts were less densified. Moreover, volumetric shrinkage of porous irons without adding starch remains in a quite low level for different sintering temperatures.

Al/Al2O3 composites were fabricated by a displacement reaction between SiO2 and molten Al. In this study, fabrication of Al/Al2O3 composites was attempted by means of reactive infiltration to provide variation of their mechanical properties. SiO2 preforms having various porosities and pore size distributions were prepared by sintering the powder at different temperatures between 1273 and 1723 K. Molten Al was infiltrated at 1373 K without application of pressure. Infiltration kinetics were studied and the microstructures of the composite bodies were observed by means of scanning electron microscopy (with energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis), wave dispersive x-ray microanalysis, and x-ray diffractions. The infiltrated specimens were mainly composed of Al and α–Al2O3 phases, and the Si content was less than 5 at.%. Volume fraction of Al phase in the composite bodies was not altered very much with the porosities of the SiO2 preforms because of the difficulty in filling out the entire pore space. Properties and microstructures of Al/Al2O3 composites, however, were dependent on the sintering temperature of the SiO2 preforms. In the case of low sintering temperature, a thick Al channel existed, which deformed upon compression. In the case of high sintering temperature, the microstructure became homogeneous and had thinner Al channels. The composite bodies became brittle. The deformation behavior was shown to be changed from ductile to brittle as an increase of the sintering temperature of the preforms.

Co-precipitation was used for the preparation of Co0.5-xNixZn0.5Fe2O4 (x = 0 to 0.3) nanoferrites. The inverse spinel structure of the samples was clearly shown by the structural analysis of X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. We have studied the effect of sintering temperature (500oC) on the lattice constant and particle size using XRD. The average lattice parameters for the non-sintered and sintered samples were 8.377 Å and 8.354 Å respectively. For the non-sintered sample, the nickel concentration decreases the lattice parameter from 8.354 Å to 8.310 Å due to its smaller ionic radii than that of cobalt. While for a sintered sample at 500oC, the lattice parameter increases for concentration x=0.3 due to the thermal effect. The particle size calculated by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) agrees well with that of XRD. The morphological and compositional analysis was done with the help of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the attached Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) Analyzer. The increasing percentage of nickel with decreasing percentage of cobalt shows that the cobalt is substituted by Nickel. The magnetic properties were studied by Vibrational Spectrometer (VSM). The value of saturation magnetization is higher for x=0.1 but lower for x=0.2 and 0.3 due to their particle size. The hysteresis loop of the samples their superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature.

In this work, sol–gel auto-combustion technology is used to synthesize nanocrystalline Ni[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]Fe2O4 with high purity metal nitrate and citric acid as precursor solution. The prepared samples are sintered at different temperatures (400[Formula: see text]C, 500[Formula: see text]C, 600[Formula: see text]C, 700[Formula: see text]C, 800[Formula: see text]C, 900[Formula: see text]C, 1000[Formula: see text]C and 1100[Formula: see text]C) for 3.5 h. The structure and magnetic properties of the samples are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The analysis of the XRD patterns confirms that all the samples have a single-phase cubic spinel structure. The particle size of the prepared samples (between 23 nm and 36 nm) is determined by the Scherrer equation. The effect of particle size is through observation of samples sintered at different temperatures. FT-IR spectroscopy shows the characteristic peak is near 588 cm[Formula: see text]. And the measurement also confirms the formation of spinel structure. The magnetic parameters of the samples are measured by VSM at room temperature with a maximum magnetic field of 1 T. Coercivity, remanent magnetization and saturation magnetization change with the changing sintering temperature. It can be clearly observed that the magnetic properties increase significantly with the temperature increasing from 600[Formula: see text]C to 700[Formula: see text]C. The dM/dH versus H curves are obtained by differentiating the hysteresis loop. The increasing peak height of dM/dH at [Formula: see text], indicates a magnetically stable state for the samples with good crystalline cubic spinel structure.

Bismuth zinc niobate [(Bi1.5Zn0.5)(Nb1.5Zn0.5)O7, abbreviated as BZN] ceramics are receiving increasing attention due to their excellent dielectric properties in the microwave frequency range. This work is aimed at improving the fabrication technology of BZN ceramics. BZN ceramic specimens were prepared using the general electronic ceramic technique including milling, calcining, crushing, pressing, and sintering. Different sintering temperatures in the range of 950-1080°C were used to study how sintering temperature affects the structure and dielectric properties of BZN ceramics. The crystallinity and microstructure of the BZN ceramics, which were measured respectively by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, were improved with increasing of the sintering temperature. The frequency dependence of the dielectric constant and loss tangent was measured at room temperature from 1 kHz to 1 MHz. The dielectric properties of the specimen sintered at 1050°C were found to be the best, for which the relative permittivity (εr) and the loss tangent (tanδ) are around 146 and 0.005, respectively. It was also foεund that when the sintering temperature was higher than 1000°C, the εrand the tanδ of BZN ceramics sintered at different temperatures were similar. As a result, 1000°C may be an appropriate sintering temperature for BZN ceramics.

The effect of particle size and sintering temperature of the mixtures of kyanite and metallic aluminum related to the thermal transformation of kyanite into primary mullite and free silica was studied. In addition, the reaction between α-Al2O3 (in situ produced by aluminum oxidation) and the silica was obtained in cristobalite structure from kyanite to obtain secondary mullite. The kyanite powders were milled by 0.5, 3, 6, and 12 hours and then were mixed with aluminum powder, which were previously milled by 3 hours. After that, the powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and the particle size was determined in a centrifugal analyzer particle size Shimadzu model SA-CP4. The mixed powders were pressed uniaxially into cylindrical samples (compacts), and then sintering was conducted at 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, and 1600°C; these samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, and thermodilatometry analysis (TD); density and open porosity measurements were performed by the Archimedes method. The samples were thermally etched to observe the microstructure, which consisted of mullite equiaxial grains contained in a glassy phase. It was observed that the nonmilled kyanite mineral becomes into mullite plus silica at temperatures between 1400 and 1500°C. When the particle size was reduced at sizes less than 1 µm, the transformation temperature was low until 200°C; the X-ray patterns of the sintered samples at 1400°C, ground for 6 hours, showed mullite peaks with small reflections of cristobalite and α-Al2O3, and these samples exhibited high density and low open porosity.

Abstract In this paper, tricalcium disilicate was formed from dicalcium silicate compound powder, synthesised via a mechanochemical technique using a stoichiometric 2CaO:1SiO2. Compound CaO and SiO2 were derived from the bio-waste of eggshell and rice husk at the calcination temperature of 900°C and 800°C, respectively. The dicalcium disilicate powder was sintered for 2 hours at different temperatures ranging from 1150°C to 1350°C. Using X-ray diffraction with Rietveld analysis, it was found that the amount of tricalcium disilicate with monoclinic (beta) crystal structure increases on sintering temperature at the expense of dicalcium silicate. The complete formation of single-phase tricalcium disilicate began at a sintering temperature of 1300°C. The effect of sintering temperatures on the crystallisation and phase transition of dicalcium silicate is reported. The size of crystallites depends on the sintering temperature. The finding of this study rebound to the benefit of society by reducing the risk-off pollution cause by accessive redundant bio-waste eggshell and rice husk and also reduced the amount of CaO and SiO2 used in the fabrication of Ca3Si2O7.
