The metallurgic industry, especially foundries, is a significant source of waste. For this reason, alternatives that involve reuse and recycling are necessary to minimize waste disposal in landfills and recover matter and energy. The feasibility of elaborating ceramic matrix composites with the incorporation of foundry waste was investigated in this study. Two types of residues were used to elaborate the composites. Green sand and grit blasting powder, in formulations with concentrations that ranged from 5.0 to 10.0% (m/m). The specimens were molded by uniaxial pressing, and a thermal treatment at 1000 °C was performed. The materials were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size determination, linear retraction, water absorption, mechanical strength, leaching and solubilization. The results indicate that the incorporation of waste to the ceramic mass enables the processing of specimens with properties of industrial interest, such as mechanical strength and water absorption.

The ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) can be fabricated by the pressure infiltration technique. In this work it was studied porous preforms of quartzite that were infiltrated with aluminum liquid. For to produce the more resistant preforms of quartzite, it was additioned different quantities of bentonite (5 and 10%) and the preforms were firing at 1100°C and 1200°C. For the composites production, the melted aluminum was introduced into preforms under a pressure of 7 MPa. The characterizations of the composites were made by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and flexure strength. All the preforms studied presented sufficient strength for support the pressing during the process of squeeze casting. The results of X-ray diffraction of composites showed the presence of alumina, silicon and aluminum and fully interpenetration aluminum-siliconalumina composites were obtained by infiltration.

Near full dense B4C ceramic matrix composites were fabricated from Ti-Al-B4C system by combining high energy milling with hot pressing sintering. The effect of different content of Ti-Al on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the as-prepared composites was investigated. A TiAl/B4C composite, whose typical bending strength and fracture toughness are 437.3 MPa and 4.85 MPa•m1/2, respectively, was made. The sintering mechanism and reinforcement mechanism were discussed with the assistant of X-Ray diffraction and electron microscopy.

The purpose of this work is to decrease or eliminate porosities in ETE-VC products with sintering additives. The Ti–C system has been synthesized for its advantages for refractory, abrasive and structural applications. We attempted to density TiC by using iron addition; this metal is introduced through a secondary reaction 3TiO3 +Al. This mixture reacts exothermically ϪH298= -1072.7 kJ and the heat is released according to by Fe addition 3TiO3 +4Al+3C+xFe→3TiC+2Al2 O3 +xFe. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that intermetallic Fe3 Al, TiC and Al2 O3 are the main phases formed in the reinforced high performance ceramic-matrix composites and the additions of Fe decreased the lattice parameter of TiC. Field emission scanning electron microscopy examinations showed that the addition of Fe decreased TiC particle size and changed their growth controlling mechanism. Also, Raman spectroscopy analysis showed that at higher Fe contents, oxygen dissolved in the TiC crystal structure leading to the formation of titanium oxy-carbide with lower lattice parameter and residual un-reacted carbon in the products. The adiabatic temperatures for the reactions containing % Fe estimated using the thermodynamic data. Thus, doping method is finally used to fabricate materials by ETE-VC method (volume combustion method) for industriel applications.

Barrier Coating

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are promising materials for high-temperature applications. Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) are needed to protect the components against water vapor attack. A new potential EBC material, YAlO3, was studied in this paper. Different plasma-spraying techniques were used for the production of coatings on an alumina-based CMC, such as atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) and very low pressure plasma spraying (VLPPS). No bond coats or surface treatments were applied. The performance was tested by pull–adhesion tests, burner rig tests, and calcium-magnesium-aluminum-silicate (CMAS) corrosion tests. The samples were subsequently analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Special attention was paid to the interaction at the interface between coating and substrate. The results show that fully crystalline and good adherent YAlO3 coatings can be produced without further substrate preparation such as surface pretreatment or bond coat application. The formation of a thin reaction layer between coating and substrate seems to promote adhesion.
