To make the most of unique properties of diamond and to diminish an influence its disadvantageous properties new diamond tool composites with ceramic bonding phase (MAX) has been proposed. Ti3(Si,Ge)C2 and Ti3SiC2 were produced by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS). 3-6 µm (MDA, De Beers) diamond powder was mechanically mixed with 10 wt% Ti3(Si,Ge)C2 or 30 wt% Ti3SiC2, pressed and the compacts were sintered at 1962 °C at 8.0 GPa in a Bridgman-type high pressure apparatus. These mechanical properties were determined: Vickers hardness HV1, Young’s modulus, tensile strength, fracture toughness and wear resistance.Microstructure and phase composition were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray and electron diffraction techniques. To improve the final quality of the AlCu4MgSi(A) alloy, balls of diamond-new composites were incorporated into the burnishing tools. The influence of burnishing parameters, such as burnishing force and feed, on surface geometry parameters were measured and profilograms of the surface roughness recorded.

AbstractCubic β-SiC was processed under conditions of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, based on the exothermic reaction between elemental Si and C powders. The set up for the synthesis of SiC using a mixture of Si and C is described. X-Ray and Raman spectroscopy studies were performed to characterize the quality of the β-SiC produced using the new set up. Scanning Electron Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy studies were also carried out to study the mechanism of the formation of β-SiC from the elemental powders. The density of the compact and grain size of the graphite was found to be critical in the formation of the SiC. Diamond seeds were also implanted on the SiC pellet while compaction and this implanted diamond provided the necessary seed for the growth of a thick diamond film. The adhesion of the film is good because of its growth from the implanted diamond. Diamond films were grown on SiC using HFCVD. The quality and the adhesion of the diamond films on SiC were studied using SEM.

ABSTRACTA multianvil device was used to investigate the formation of BxO phases produced in the 2 to 10 GPa pressure range with temperatures between 1000 and 1800 °C.Amorphous and crystalline B and BP were oxidized using B2O3 and CrO3. Using powder X-ray diffraction and parallel electron energy-loss spectroscopy (PEELS), we were unable to detect graphitic or diamondstructured B2O, reported in previous studies. The refractory boride B6O, which has the α-rhombohedral boron structure, is the dominant suboxide in the P and T range of our investigation. PEELS with a transmission electron microscope was used to characterize the boron oxides.

The Ni3Al and Ni3Al-B-Cr alloys were fabricated by the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis with hot extrusion method. Their microstructure and mechanical properties were studied by using combination of X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and compression test. Analysis of X-ray spectra exhibited that the elemental powders had been transformed to the Ni3Al phase after the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis processing. Microstructure examination showed that the alloy without extrusion consisted of coarse and fine grains, but the subsequent hot extrusion procedure homogenized the grain size and densified the alloy obviously. Transmission electron microscopy observations on the Ni3Al alloy revealed that Ni3Al, γ-Ni and Al2O3 particles were the main phases. When the boron and chromium were added, besides the β-NiAl phase, α-Cr phase and some Cr7Ni3 particles with stacking faults inside were observed. In addition, a lot of substructure and high-density dislocation arrays were observed in the extruded part, which indicated that the subsequent extrusion had led to great deformation and partly recrystallizing in the alloy. Moreover, the subsequent extrusion procedure redistributed the Al2O3 particles and eliminated the γ-Ni. These changes were helpful to refine the microstructure and weaken the misorientation. The mechanical test showed that the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis with hot extrusion improved the mechanical properties of the Ni3Al alloy significantly. The addition of B and Cr in Ni3Al alloy increased the mechanical properties further, but the compressive strength of the alloy was still lower than that synthesized by combustion. Finally, the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis with hot extrusion was a good method to prepare Ni3Al alloy from powder.

Diamond tool based on Ni-Al self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) was introduced in this paper. Different heating methods such as muffle furnace, vacuum furnace and induction were used to ignite the Ni-Al-diamond SHS system. The morphology and microstructure of the Ni-Al-diamond composite were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that SHS Ni-Al-diamond composite ignited by induction heating owned the best morphology and microstructure to work as diamond tool.

The Si-SiC nanocomposites have been synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) from natural precursors. The effects of difference amount of added NaCl from 0 to 0.75 moles to the reactants on the Si-SiC conversion and particle size were investigated. The reaction were carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at the pressure of 0.5 MPa. The nanocomposite results have been characterized by scanning electron microscope, Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the production of nano-composite materials using SHS process is feasible and agree well with the thermodynamics calculations.

AbstractThe new samarium germanide SmGe3 is obtained by high-pressure high-temperature synthesis of pre-reacted mixtures of samarium and germanium at a pressure of 9.5 GPa and temperatures between 1073 and 1273 K. SmGe3 decomposes at 470(5) K into SmGe2, α-Sm3Ge5 and a hitherto unknown phase. SmGe3 exhibits a superstructure of the cubic Cu3Au-type. Transmission electron microscopy measurements of crystalline particles and prepared lamellae indicate a high density of defects on the nanoscale. Selected area electron diffraction and elaborate X-ray powder diffraction measurements consistently indicate a 2a0 × 2a0 × 2a0 superstructure adopting space group $Fm\overline{3}m$ with a = 8.6719(2) Å.

The work is devoted to the technology for the reduction of molybdenum from oxides by the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis in the MoO3 AI system with the addition of aluminum. The experiment was carried out in two modes: in a reactor at different pressures without preliminary heating and in a furnace in air until the initiation of the SH-synthesis process. Samples of molybdenum metal were obtained in different synthesis modes. X-ray phase and X-ray spectral analysis showed that molybdenum is the main phase in the synthesized samples. The presence of slag oxide phases Al2O3 and MoO2 was detected.
