Al2O3-MgO, Al2O3-Y2O3 and Al2O3-MgO-Y2O3 composite ceramics were fabricated respectively by hot-press sintering technique. With the analysis of the mechanical properties and microstructure, it was found that single additive MgO could be more favorable to the grains’ refinement and densification than Y2O3; the composite additive including both MgO and Y2O3 was better than single additive MgO or Y2O3, because their interactions could improve the mechanical properties of the Al2O3 ceramics; The sintering temperature could be reduced by adding the suitable amount of composite additives.

Sintering Method

An Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was prepared with Fe-Fe2O3-Al2O3 powder by a hot press sintering method. The mass ratio was 6:1:2, sintering pressure was 30 MPa, and holding time was 120 min. The raw materials for the powder particles were respectively 1 µm (Fe), 0.5 µm (Fe2O3), and 1 µm (Al2O3) in diameter. The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was studied. The results showed that Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was formed by in situ reaction at 1300 °C–1500 °C. With the increased sintering temperature, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe/FeAl2O4 composite showed a change law that initially became better and then became worse. The best microstructure and optimal mechanical properties were obtained at 1400 °C. At this temperature, the grain size of Fe and FeAl2O4 phases in Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was uniform, the relative density was 96.7%, and the Vickers hardness and bending strength were 1.88 GPa and 280.0 MPa, respectively. The wettability between Fe and FeAl2O4 was enhanced with increased sintering temperature. And then the densification process was accelerated. Finally, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe/FeAl2O4 composite were improved.

The ZrC-W composites with iron as sintering additive were fabricated by hot-press sintering. The densification, microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The incorporation of Fe beneficially promotes the densification of ZrC-W composites. The relative density of the composite sintered at 1900°C can attain 95.3%. W2C phase is also found in the ZrC-W composite sintered at 1700°C. The content of W2C decreases with the increase of sintering temperature. However, W2C phase is not identified in the composite sintered at 1900°C. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites are strongly dependent on sintering temperature. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of ZrC-W composite sintered at optimized temperature of 1800°C are 438 MPa and 3.99 MPa·m1/2, respectively.

Abstract BN-La2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 composite ceramics were fabricated by hot press sintering using h-BN, La2O3, Al2O3 and amorphous SiO2 as the raw materials. The effects of sintering temperature on the microstructural evolution, bulk density, apparent porosity, and mechanical properties of h-BN composite ceramics were investigated. The results indicated that ternary La2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 liquid phase was formed during sintering process, which provided an environment for the growth of h-BN grains. With increasing sintering temperature, the cristobalite phase precipitation and h-BN grain growth occurred at the same time, which had the significant influence on the densification and mechanical properties of h-BN composite ceramics. The best mechanical properties of BN-La2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 composite ceramics were obtained under sintering temperature of 1700 °C, and the elastic modulus, flexural strength, and fracture toughness were 80.5 GPa, 266.4 MPa and 3.25 MPa·m1/2, respectively.

A new WC matrix nanocomposite cermet was prepared by hot-press sintering. In the composite, certain amounts of VC is added to the composite as grain growth inhibitors. The consolidation is carried out under pressure 30～35Mpa and sintering temperature 1610°C for soaking 30min sintering. Microstructure of the nanocomposite cermet is scanned by SEM and mechanical properties are measured. It is detected that microstructure and fracture morphology is dissimilar to different particle sizes. Experimental results show that particle size of WC is important to the composite. Results show that relative density and hardness have the similar trend in growth. Meanwhile, the function of Al2O3 addition is also investigated in this paper.

Nano-Fe particles coating Al2O3 composite powders were prepared by heterogeneous precipitation method with nanometer -Al2O3 and Fe(NO3)3•9H2O as raw materials. The composite powders were analyzed by DSC-TG, XRD,SEM and Zeta potential. Results showed that Fe coating Al2O3 nanometer composite powders were obtained in the condition of being sintered at 500°C for 30min and reduced at 700°C for 1h in H2. The coating Fe nanometer particles are in the shape of sphericity with diameter about 30nm and the dispersion of the powders is uniform. Al2O3/Fe composite ceramics were obtained by hot-pressing (30MPa). The mechanical properties of the composite were investigated after hot press at different temperatures. With the increasing of Fe content in composite ceramics, the hardness of the composite is decreased. Fracture toughness of 10mol%Fe content is 5.62MPa after sintered at 1400°C, which is increasing 57% high than that of monolithic Al2O3 ceramics.

The sintering behavior and the resulting of cermet are influenced not only by the characteristics and impurities of the raw materials but also are found to be dependent on the thermal history during the fabrication process. Our work is concerned with the effect of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties of 17Ni/(10NiO-NiFe2O4) cermet. The nickel ferrite based cermet were prepared by hot-press sintering technology at 16MPa and sintered at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1200°C. The microstructure, phase compositions and mechanical properties were studied by SEM, XRD and three point bending strength tests respectively. It has been found that, the relative density, hardness and bending strength of NiFe2O4 based cermet have a great influence upon the sintering temperature, and an optimal sintering temperature, e.g. 1100°C is chosen through our experiments. The highest bending strength of 125.89Mpa could be obtained under the sintering temperature of 1100°C. Meanwhile, the thermal shock resistance increases as the sintering temperature increases.

To improve the wear and mechanical properties, SiCand Si3N4whiskers reinforced Si3N4composites were sintered by hot press sintering technique at 1800 and 1900°C for 1 h. The Friction and wear behaviors of Si3N4-SiC whisker reinforced Si3N4composites have been studied by using a reciprocating sliding apparatus. The results show that Si3N4-SiC whisker can greatly improve the hardness, fracture toughness and wear resistance of Si3N4. Lower sintering temperature can make both the grain dimension and interface area of the whiskers with the matrix decrease, resulting in relatively uneasy fracture of the whiskers. This uneasy fracture of the whiskers is the main reason for improvement in fracture toughness, and thus, the decrease in wear rate compared with those of the samples sintered at higher temperature and Si3N4material.
