The densification of α-SiC occurred by liquid-phase sintering mechanism with AlN-RE2O3(RE=Nd, Gd, Y, Lu) was studied. The total additive content was fixed at 15 wt%. Cold isostatically pressed samples were sintered at 1800-1950 °C under N2atmosphere for 1 h. The linear shrinkage and weight loss of the samples were about 17-20% and 2-5%, respectively. The mechanical properties and microstructure of sintered samples were investigated. The experimental results showed that the fracture toughness of samples was 6-8 MPa·m1/2, the hardness was in the range of 18-21 GPa and the bending strength was in the range of 400-500 MPa. It was found that a decrease in the cationic radius of the rare-earth oxides was accompanied by an increase in hardness and flexural strength of the SiC ceramics, whereas the fracture toughness was improved by incorporating rare-earth oxides of larger cationic radius. The morphology (SEM) of sintered sample showed a fine grained microstructure with equiaxed grains. Fracture mode was intergranular fracture.

Present paper discusses the influence of spark plasma sintering (SPS) on the microstructure and perfomances of chromium carbide based cermets. The effect of SPS parameters (temperature, pressure) is discussed. It is shown that SPS enables to produce more fine grained chromium carbide based cermets compared to conventional liquid phase sintering. Hardness and fracture toughness are exhibited.

Refinement Effect

Al2O3-TiC composites were fabricated by hot-pressing Cobalt coated powders at low temperature through liquid phase sintering. Cobalt coating layers effectively hinder the growth of grain and harmful reaction between Al2O3 and TiC particles, which would improve the mechanical properties of Al2O3-TiC composites. The hardness decreases with the increase of Co content and the bending strength was enhanced to 782MPa owing to the grain refinement effect of Co phase. The fracture toughness, about 9.23 MPa.m1/2, was measured for the composites containing 3wt% Co sintered at 1550°C. SEM images of fracture surface show that the toughening effect should be attributed to the conversion of fracture mode caused by the Co phase.

The Subject

Dense ceramics are produced from fly ash from REK Bitola, Republic of Macedonia. Four types of fly ash from electro filters and one from the collected zone with particles < 0.063 mm were the subject of this research. Consolidation was achieved by pressing (P= 133 MPa) and sintering (950, 1000, 1050 and 11000C and heating rates of 3 and 100/min). Densification was realized by liquid phase sintering and solid state reaction where diopside [Ca(Mg,Al)(Si,Al)2O6] was formed. Ceramics with optimal properties (porosity 2.96?0.5%, bending strength - 47.01?2 MPa, compressive strength - 170 ?5 MPa) was produced at 1100?C using the heating rate of 10?C/min.

The work investigated the effect of sepiolite nanofibres on mechanical properties and sintering behaviour of shellfish porcelain. Samples of shellfish porcelain reinforced by sepiolite nanofibres were fired in an electric furnace at 1150, 1200 and 1250°C for a period of 80, 100, 120 and 140 min. Sintered samples were characterized by flexural strength, fracture toughness, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that 2 wt% sepiolite nanofibres could increase the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the porcelain bodies through the fibre pullout and the weak interface mechanisms. Sintering activation energies were determined according to the linear shrinkage results. It is found that the liquid-phase sintering mechanism of shellfish porcelain with sepiolite nanofibres is a diffusion mechanism. Porcelain without sepiolite is controlled by volume diffusion, and eventually, the grain boundary diffusion began to appear with the increase of sepiolite addition.

In this study, two rare earth oxides, Y2O3 and La2O3, are used as the additives in the sintering of ZrB2-SiC composites to improve the sinterability and control development of microstructure during densification. The results show that the use of rare earth oxides (5vol.%) improves the powder sinterability, hindered excessive growth of matrix particles and increase fracture toughness of ZrB2-SiC composites, in comparison to ZrB2-SiC with additions free. Nearly full dense materials are obtained by hot pressing at 1900°C. XRD analyses indicate that lanthanum-containing phases were formed in the composite with La2O3. Microstructure observations by SEM reveal that the grain size of ZrB2-SiC with Y2O3 and La2O3 composites are less than the sample without additives, which indicates Y2O3 and La2O3 may restrain the grain growth and increase the fracture toughness. The fracture toughness of ZrB2-SiC composites with Y2O3 and La2O3 reached 5.0MPa·m1/2 and 5.5MPa·m1/2 respectively. Therefore, the additive Y2O3 and La2O3 are very effective as sintering aids for the ZrB2-SiC composite.

β-SiAlON powder was used as a raw powder to fabricate α/β-SiAlON composite ceramics with different rare earth elements. The phases present in the sample fabricated from -SiAlON, α-Si3N4, AlN, and rare earth oxide powders were - and -SiAlONs. The composition was dependent on the chemical composition and firing profile. The sample obtained by adding Yb2O3 had a high -SiAlON content. The /-SiAlON composite ceramics had high densit. Their microstructures depended on the used metal oxides, namely, the addition of Nd2O3 and CaCO3 resulted in the elongation of the -SiAlON grains. The bending strength, fracture toughness, and hardness were influenced by the -SiAlON content, amount of elongated grains, and density of the sample.

Carbide tools play key roles in present machine manufacture. The mechanical property and cutting performance of carbide tools are improved obviously when adding micro rare earth (RE) elements into carbide tools. By means of some apparatus, such as materials testing machine, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), dynamometer, microscope and electron probe microanalyser, the traditional and RE carbide tools, P30 (YT5 and YT5R), P20 (YT14 and YT14R), M10 (YW1 and YW1R), K30 (YG8 and YG8R), are studied and compared by doing a lot of experiments. These experiments show that the bending strength, fracture toughness and anti-impact capability of RE carbide tools are improved remarkably, and their hardness increased a little. Moreover, the cutting force, tool-chip friction coefficient and wear of RE carbide tools decreased in cutting. In addition, the effect and cutting principium of RE element to carbide tools are analyzed and discussed, which is beneficial to the research and application of RE carbide tools.
