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.

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.

Si3n4 Ceramics

In situ grown C0.3N0.7Ti and SiC, which derived from non-oxide additives Ti3SiC2, are proposed to densify silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramics with enhanced mechanical performance via hot-press sintering. Remarkable increase of density from 79.20% to 95.48% could be achieved for Si3N4 ceramics with 5 vol.% Ti3SiC2 when sintered at 1600 °C. As expected, higher sintering temperature 1700 °C could further promote densification of Si3N4 ceramics filled with Ti3SiC2. The capillarity of decomposed Si from Ti3SiC2, and in situ reaction between nonstoichiometric TiCx and Si3N4 were believed to be responsible for densification of Si3N4 ceramics. An obvious enhancement of flexural strength and fracture toughness for Si3N4 with x vol.% Ti3SiC2 (x = 1~20) ceramics was observed. The maximum flexural strength of 795 MPa for Si3N4 composites with 5 vol.% Ti3SiC2 and maximum fracture toughness of 6.97 MPa·m1/2 for Si3N4 composites with 20 vol.% Ti3SiC2 are achieved via hot-press sintering at 1700 °C. Pull out of elongated Si3N4 grains, crack bridging, crack branching and crack deflection were demonstrated to dominate enhance fracture toughness of Si3N4 composites.
