AlN-SiC-TiB2 ceramics were synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) methods. The powder mixtures of Al, 6H-SiC and TiB2 were shaped by isostatic cool pressing method, and then combustion reaction was carried at the pressure of 100-200 MPa N2 by an ignitor. The solid solution of AlN and 2H-SiC in AlN-SiC-TiB2 ceramics was formed. The phase composition and microstructure were investigated by XRD and SEM. The mechanical properties of composite were measured as functions of composition. The maximum value of flexural strength and fracture toughness of composites were 430 MPa and 3.9 MPa⋅m1/2 respectively.

Al2O3/TiAl in situ composites were successfully prepared by vacuum hot-pressing method with elemental powder mixtures of Ti, Al, TiO2 and Fe2O3. The effect of Fe2O3 addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al2O3/TiAl composites has been investigated. The results show that the Rockwell hardness, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites increase with increasing Fe2O3 content. When the Fe2O3 content is 0.84 wt %, the flexural strength and the fracture toughness reach the maximum value of 624 MPa and 6.63 MPa·m1/2, respectively. The improvement of mechanical properties is firstly associated with a more homogeneous and finer microstructure developed by addition of Fe2O3; secondly, it is related to the increase of the ratio of α2-Ti3Al/γ- TiAl matrix phases.

BN-AlN-TiB2 compound conductive ceramics from powder mixtures of BN, Al, and TiB2 was fabricated by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP). The powder mixtures were shaped by isostatic cool pressing at 5-10MPa and the combustion reaction was carried at 100-200 MPa N2 by an ignitor. XRD experiments confirmed that the reaction was complete and only AlN, BN and TiB2 were detected. Optical microscopy as well as SEM with an electron probe microanalysis was used for microstructural analysis and revealed a relatively uniform distribution of particulates. The temperature-dependence and composition-dependence of the electrical resistivity of BN-AlN-TiB2 ceramics were studied. The results showed that the optimum composition was 5-10wt% BN, 30-55wt% Al and 60-40wt% TiB2, and the products had the density of 90% of the theoretical, resistivity of 80-1000 μ⋅cm and bending strength of 100-200 MPa.

In this study, Al2O3-TiC composite was prepared at 1600°C for 1 h by hot-pressing using the Al2O3-TiC composite powder synthesized from self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) process. Mechanical properties of the composite were investigated, such as bulk density, Vickers hardness, fracture toughness and bending strength. The microstructure of the composite was also investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

In this work, the effects of alumina additions on the properties of the ZrO2-Al2O3 ceramic composites were investigated. Samples of ZrO2 with Al2O3 additions varying between 0 and 30wt-% were prepared. The powder mixtures were milled, compacted by uniaxial cold pressing and sintered at 16000C, in air, for 2 hours. The sintered samples were characterized by their relative density, phase composition and microstructure. As mechanical properties at room temperature, their Vickers hardness and fracture toughness were determined: In all sintering conditions and Al2O3 amounts, the samples presented relative density higher that 99%. The Al2O3 addition produces a linear increase of the hardness, reaching values between 1350 and 1610 HV for the addition of 0 and 30% of alumina, respectively. The fracture toughness was near to 8 MPam1/2 in all conditions. The phase composition, microstructure and relative density were correlated in order to interpret the mechanical properties obtained.

TiC- and TiB2-FeAl composites have been produced using the Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) method under Pseudo Hot Isostatic Pressing (PHIP). When mixtures of the elemental powders were heated to a temperature near the melting point of Al under a PHIP of 150 MPa, the powder mixtures exothermically reacted and produced TiC particle dispersed and TiBB2 particle dispersed FeAl-matrix composites. As the volume factions of TiC and TiB2 particles increased from 0.3 to 0.8, the average particle size increased from approximately 1 to 10 μm and the average Vickers hardness increased from approximately 600 to 1600 in both the TiC-FeAl and TiB2-FeAl systems. The application of the PHIP remarkably reduced the porosity of the SHS products. Preheating of the elemental powder mixtures at 773 K for 30 minutes also reduced the porosity. Moreover, the preheating reduced the particle size in the SHS products. It was suggested that degassing of the powder surfaces and mutual diffusion between the different powders should have occurred during the preheating, which led to reduction in pore formation and reduction in heat generation at the SHS reactions, respectively.

Al2O3/TiAl composites were successfully fabricated by hot-press-assisted exothermic dispersion method with elemental powder mixtures of Ti, Al, TiO2and Cr2O3. The effect of Cr2O3addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al2O3/TiAl composites has been characterized. The results show that the Rockwell hardness, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites increase with increasing Cr2O3content. When the Cr2O3content is 3.5 wt %, the flexural strength and the fracture toughness reach the maximum value of 658.7 MPa and 7.2 MPa•m1/2, respectively. The improvement of mechanical properties is firstly associated with a more homogeneous and finer microstructure developed by addition of Cr2O3; secondly, it is related to the increase of the ratio of α2-Ti3Al/γ- TiAl matrix phases.

Microalloying of MoSi2 to form Mo(1−x)MexSi2 (Me = Nb or V) was investigated by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method. With alloying element contents up to 5 at.%, a homogeneous C11b solid solution was obtained. For higher contents of alloying elements, the product contained both the C11b and the hexagonal C40 phases. The relative amount of the C40 phase increases with an increase in the content of alloying metals in the starting mixture. The alloying element content in the hexagonal C40 Mo(1−x)MexSi2 phase was nearly constant at a level of about 12 at.% for all starting compositions. In contrast, the content of the alloying elements in the tetragonal phase is considerably lower (around 4 at.%) and increases slightly as the Me content in the starting mixture is increased.
