High-pure bulk Ti3SiC2 samples were fabricated by directly hot-pressing (HP) high-pure Ti3SiC2 powder without any additives at 1200°C to 1500°C for 0.5–2 hours in flow argon atmosphere. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used for phase identification and microstructure evaluation. The fabricated Ti3SiC2 materials have relative high density with high purity, flexural strength of 500-700MPa and fracture toughness of 9-12MPa·m1/2. The influence of sintering temperature and soaking time on the mechanical properties of Ti3SiC2 materials was discussed. The sintering mechanism for Ti3SiC2 powder without any additives was considered to be related with the fragile-ductile transformation of Ti3SiC2 at 1100°C.

Sintered Temperature

This present work investigates the effects of sintering temperature on densification, mechanical properties and microstructure of Al-based alloy pressed by high-velocity compaction. The green samples were heated under the flow of high pure (99.99 wt%) N2. The heating rate was 4 °C/min before 315 °C. For reducing the residual stress, the samples were isothermally held for one h. Then, the specimens were respectively heated at the rate of 10 °C/min to the temperature between 540 °C and 700 °C, held for one h, and then furnace-cooled to the room temperature. Results indicate that when the sintered temperature was 640 °C, both the sintered density and mechanical properties was optimum. Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-ray diffraction of sintered samples, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscope were used to analyse the microstructure and phases.

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.

SiC/Cu composites exhibit low density, low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent mechanical properties. In this study, Zn of 2 wt. % was added as the sintering activator, and the high volume faction (60%) SiC/Cu composites was fabricated by hot pressing sintering technology. The phase composition and morphology of as-prepare samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) system and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with an energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) system. The as-prepared SiC/Cu composites were dense and uniform as well as void free. The results show that SiC/Cu composites can reach excellent mechanical properties of SiC/Cu composites. With the increase of sintering temperature, Vickers hardness and the bending strength of the samples increased obviously and the as-prepared SiC/Cu composites achieved a maximum Vickers hardness and bending strength respectively of 195MPa and 140MPa.

Cu-3wt. %MoS2-7wt. %Mo and Cu-3wt. %MoS2 composites were prepared by repressing, re-sintering and vacuum hot pressing, respectively. Microstructures were characterized by optical metallographic microscope, EDS, SEM and X-ray diffraction analysis, respectively. The micro hardness, electric conductivity and density of samples were separately measured as well. Results show that the micro hardness of Cu-3wt. % MoS2-7wt. % Mo composites is about 33.3% higher than that of Cu-3wt. %MoS2 composites. The increase in micro hardness is attributed to the presence of Mo. The electric conductivity of Cu-3wt. %MoS2 and Cu-3wt. %MoS2-7wt. % Mo prepared by vacuum hot pressing were 80.6 % and 63.8% IACS, respectively, which is an increase compared with values of 80.2 % and 57.3% IACS of samples obtained by repressing and re-sintering.

Aluminum is a material with advantageous properties such as lightness, good conductivity, high plastic deformation ability, and superior corrosion resistance. However, aluminum and many aluminum alloys have disadvantages in terms of mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, and wear resistance. To overcome this disadvantage of aluminum, it is a good method to add ceramic particles to the matrix. For this purpose, in this study, B4C (boron carbide)-reinforced AA2014 aluminum matrix composites were fabricated at 3%, 5%, and 7% reinforcement ratios using the stir casting method. Tensile tests, wear tests, cutting force measurements, and microhardness measurements were performed to determine the fabricated composite materials’ mechanical properties. Scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy were used to analyze the microstructure of composite. X-ray diffraction analysis was utilized to study the phase identification. As a result of the study, it was observed that with the increase in the B4C reinforcement ratio, the mechanical properties of the aluminum matrix composite material, such as wear resistance, cutting strength, and hardness, increased. On the other hand, the change in tensile strength did not occur in this way. Tensile strength first increased and then decreased. The highest value of tensile strength was achieved at 5% B4C reinforcement. X-ray diffraction results showed that AA2014 and B4C were the fundamental elements in composites and are free from intermetallics.

In this study, mechanical alloying (MA) of Fe -50 Al , Fe -49.5 Al -1 B , and Fe -47.5 Al -5 B (at.%) alloy powders and mechanical properties of sintered products of the as-milled powders were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed the addition of B caused more crystallite refinement compared to the B -free powders. To consider the sintering and ordering behaviors of the parts produced from cold compaction of the powders milled for 80 h, sintering was conducted at various temperatures. It was found that the sintering temperature has no meaningful effect on the long-range order parameter. The transformation of the disordered solid solution developed by MA to ordered Fe - Al - ( B ) intermetallics was a consequence of sintering. Also, the nano-scale structure of the samples was retained even after sintering. The microhardness of pore-free zones of the nanostructured specimens decreased by increasing the sintering temperature. Moreover, the sintering temperature has no effect on the compressive yield stress. However, the fracture strain increased by increasing the sintering temperature. The samples containing 1 at.% B showed more strain to fracture compared with the B -free and 5 at.% B samples.

The AlN/h-BN nanocomposite powders were synthesized through the reaction of AlN powder, boric acid (H3BO3) and urea (CO(NH2)2) in a nitrogen atmosphere, and the machinable AlN/BN ceramic nanocomposite s were fabricated by hot-pressing in N2 atmosphere. The existing and distribution of h-BN phase are revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), TEM and SEM. For the existing of weak interface between h-BN and AlN grains, the machinability of AlN/BN composites is improved obviously. For the finer microstructures, the mechanical properties and the machinability of the composites with micrometer sized AlN coated with nano-sized BN are better than the AlN/h-BN composite of mechanical mixing type.

Layered ternary compounds Ti3SiC2combines attractive properties of both ceramics and metals, and has been suggested for potential engineering applications. Near-fully dense Ti3SiC2bulks were sintered from commercial Ti3SiC2powders by hot press at 1350°C-1600°C for 60-120min under Ar atmosphere in this paper. The phase compositions and morphology of the as-prepared samples were evaluated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the mechanical properties were measured by Three-Point bending method. It was found that the Ti3SiC2had only a little of decomposition at sintering temperature above 1350°C. And effects of sintering temperature and holding time on the morphology of the bulk Ti3SiC2are not obvious. Relative density of 98% and flexural strength of 480MPa were obtained for the Ti3SiC2samples sintered at 30MPa and 1400°C for 90min.
