The hydrothermal hot-pressing (HHP) technique was used to prepare hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics from a HAp powder with low crystallinity, and the effects of processing factors such as temperature, loading pressure and reaction time on densification were investigated. The crystallinity of HAp was increased by the HHP treatments. With the increase in reaction temperature, loading pressure and reaction time, the density and Vickers hardness of the compacts increased. The HAp compact with high relative density of 83% and high Vickers hardness of 2.9 GPa was successfully prepared by the HHP treatment at 200°C for 3 h under loading pressure of 60 MPa.

Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) prepared by the coprecipitation method was solidified by the hydrothermal hot-pressing technique, and compacts of CDHA with high bulk density beyond 80% were obtained at 200 ℃. Each reaction parameter, viz. reaction temperature, pressure, and time, was systematically changed from the standard conditions to investigate its effects on density, Vickers hardness, and Ca/P ratio of the compacts obtained. The reaction temperature and pressure had a large effect on densification, but not the reaction time because the densification proceeds in a short time. The densification by hydrothermal hot-pressing involved dissolution and precipitation of the starting CDHA powder, so that the Ca/P ratio changed from 1.52 of the starting powders to 1.61 of the compact obtained by hydrothermal hot-pressing at 200 ℃ and 35 MPa for 24 h with the addition of 10 wt.-% water

Ti(C,N)-TiB2-Co cermets were in situ synthesized, via reactive hot pressing from the Co-Ti-C-BN system, with a Co content ranging from 6 to 22 wt%. The microstructure, relative density, hardness, and fracture toughness of the sintered compacts was investigated by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, ceramic densitometry, and Vickers hardness test. The investigations indicate that during hot pressing (compacting pressure = 30 MPa), when the Co content is 14–22 wt%, the metal binder is extruded. Co and Ti are included in the extrudate, breaking the original ratio and deteriorating the properties of the sintered products. As the Co content increases from 6 wt% to 12 wt%, the porosity increases, and the relative density increases from 97.2% to 99.5%. The fracture toughness increases from 6.1 to 6.8 MPa m1/2. The Vickers hardness first increases from 1897 HV10 to the maximum 1960 HV10 and then decreases slightly to 1945 HV10.

With the addition of ZrSi2, the highly densified ZrB2-based ceramics were fabricated by hot pressing. The relative density increased with increasing the volume fraction of ZrSi2­and sintering temperature; the Vickers hardness increased with increasing the sintering temperature, but decreased with increasing the volume fraction of ZrSi2­.

The Fe3Al intermetallics compounds bulks were fabricated by hot-pressing process in this research. The Fe3Al intermetallics compounds powders were fabricated by mechanical alloying and heat treatment process. The phase composition and microstructure of the Fe3Al intermetallics compounds powders produced by mechanical alloying and heat treatment were investigated. The phase composition and microstructure of the Fe3Al intermetallics compounds bulks produced by hot-pressing process were investigated. The XRD patterns results showed that the Fe-Al intermetallics compounds powders were fabricated by mechanical alloying for 60h. Then the Fe3Al intermetallics compounds powders were fabricated by heat treatment at 800°C and 1000°C. The microstructure showed that the mean particles sizes of the Fe-Al intermetallics compounds powders produced by mechanical alloying decreased remarkably with the increase of milling time. The microstructure showed that the mean particles size of the Fe3Al intermetallics compounds powders produced by mechanical alloying for 60h and heat treatment was rather fine and about 4-5μm. The Fe3Al intermetallics compounds bulks were fabricated by hot-pressing process at 1100°C for 2h under the pressure of 35MPa. The XRD patterns results showed that there existed only Fe3Al intermetallics compounds phase in the sintered bulks. The Fe3Al intermetallics compounds bulks exhibited the homogenous and compact microstructure. The mean particles size of the Fe3Al intermetallics compounds was rather fine and about 2-3μm. The relative density of the Fe3Al intermetallics compounds sintered bulks was about 99.2%. So the Fe3Al intermetallics compounds bulks with the high relative density were fabricated by hot-pressing process.

B4C ceramics were obtained using hot-pressing method. The effect of different sintering temperatures on the microstructures and mechanical properties of B4C ceramics were investigated. Oxidation resistances were studied over the range 600-850°C. The experimental results showed that the relative density, bending strength and fracture toughness all increased first and then decreased with increasing the sintering temperature. The Vickers-hardness increased as the sintering temperature increasing. When the sintering temperature was 1950°C, the B4C ceramics showed the optimized properties. The values of its relative density, Vickers-hardness, bending strength and fracture toughness were 99.1%, 34.0 GPa, 524.6 MPa and 6.56 MPa·m1/2, respectively.

Al3Zr has the highest melting temperature (1580°C) among the tri-aluminide intermetal1ics. When prepared by casting, Al3Zr forms in the tetragonal DO23 structure but by rapid quenching or by mechanical alloying (MA) it can also be prepared in the metastable cubic L12 structure. The L12 structure can be stabilized to at least 1300°C by the addition of copper and other elements. We report a TEM study of the microstructure of bulk Al5CuZr2 prepared by hot pressing mechanically alloyed powder.MA was performed in a Spex 800 mixer using a hardened steel container and balls and adding hexane as a surfactant. Between 1.4 and 2.4 wt.% of the hexane decomposed during MA and was incorporated into the alloy. The mechanically alloyed powders were degassed in vacuum at 900°C. They were compacted in a ram press at 900°C into fully dense samples having Vickers hardness of 1025. TEM specimens were prepared by mechanical grinding followed by ion milling at 120 K. TEM was performed on a Philips CM30 at 300kV.

A series of single-metal carbonates and Pb-Zn mixed-metal carbonates were prepared as catalysts for alcoholysis of urea with 1,2-propylene glycol (PG) for the synthesis of propylene carbonate (PC). The mixed carbonates all show much better catalytic activities than the single carbonates, arising from a strong synergistic effect between the two crystalline phases, hydrozincite and lead carbonate. The mixed carbonate with Pb/Zn=1:2 gives the highest yield of PC, followed by the mixed carbonate with Pb/Zn=1:3. Furthermore, Taguchi method was used to optimize the synthetic process for improving the yield of PC. It is shown that the reaction temperature is the most significant factor affecting the yield of PC, followed by the reaction time, and that the optimal reaction conditions are the reaction time at 5 hours, the reaction temperature at 180 oC and the catalyst amount at 1.8 wt%, resulting in the highest PC yield of 96.3%.
