fabricated by pressureless sintering process. The effect of BG on the sintering ability and mechanical strength of the ceramics, and the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts were investigated. The results showed that the optimum amount of BG was 20wt.% and the samples sintered at 1100oC for 5h revealed a bending strength of 172 MPa, which was approximately 2-times higher than that of the pure CaSiO3 ceramics. The cell experiments showed that BG reinforced CaSiO3 ceramics supported osteoblast adhesion and possessed higher proliferation than that of the pure CaSiO3 ceramics, which indicated excellent biocompatibility. Our results suggested that BG reinforced CaSiO3 ceramics could be potential candidates as bioactive bone implant materials.

Tib2 Particles

Porous TiB2 ceramics with a three-dimensional interconnected skeleton were fabricated by high temperature pressureless sintering from fine TiB2 powders. The microstructure of the porous TiB2 ceramic was characterized by the enhanced neck growth between the initially touching particles. This neck growth was ascribed to the selective heating of TiB2 particles with different dimension. The porous structure prepared by the high-temperature sintering exhibited higher bending strength and fracture toughness in the present experiment. The improved mechanical properties of the sintered composites were attributable to the enhanced neck growth by surface diffusion.

Sintered ZTA(zirconia toughened alumina) which has good mechanical properties at a low temperature was produced by milling and mixing with Al2O3 and ZrO2(3Y-TZP). In order to examine the effect of sintering aids on the mechanical properties of ZTA, fracture toughness and hardness of the produced ZTA were observed in accordance with change of the added quantity of ZrO2 Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction technique were applied to observe microstructural change and phase transformation during the process. Experimental results showed that the addition of sintering aids in ZTA at a low temperature induced densification and adding SiO2 and talc lowered sintering temperature and promoted crystallization process of the compound. The mechanical strength of ZTA added ZrO2 showed higher mechanical strength and SEM analysis revealed that Al2O3 and ZrO2 during the sintering process restrained the grain growth each other. Especially, the 92% Al2O3 added sintering aids showed more than 98% of the theoretical density and more than 1500 Hv of hardness value at a low temperature of 1400. It was also showed that the fracture toughness is gradually increasing first and decreasing later in accordance with the quantity of ZrO2.

Mosi2 Composite

SiC reinforced MoSi2 composites have been successfully prepared by pressureless sintering from mechanical-assistant combustion synthesized powders. The sintering temperatures and holding time were 1500°C~1650°C at a heating rate of 10K/min and 1 hour, respectively. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-sintered composites were investigated. SEM micrographs of SiC/MoSi2 composites showed that SiC particles were homogeneously distributed in MoSi2 matrix. The Vickers hardness, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the SiC/MoSi2 composites were up to 15.50GPa, 468.7MPa and 9.35MPa•m1/2, respectively. The morphologies of fractured surface of the composites revealed the mechanism to improve mechanical properties of MoSi2 matrix. At last, the cyclic oxidation behavior of the composites was discussed. The results of this work showed that in situ SiC/MoSi2 composite powder prepared by MASHS technique could be successfully sintered via pressureless sintering process and significant improvement of room temperature mechanical and anti-oxidation properties could be achieved.

Feldspar-alumina dental ceramics were produced by impressed sintering method and characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope techniques. The machinability of the obtained alumina ceramics was evaluated by grinding capacity in the simulative grinding experiment. The results show that an appropriate amount of feldspar additive can reduce the sinter temperature and improve density, bending strength and machinability of alumina dental ceramics. Under 10 wt% feldspar and 1450 °C sinter temperature, the relative density and bending strength of ceramic reached 93.62% and 235MPa, respectively.
