Cermet while maintaining the excellent properties of ceramic materials, but also have the advantages of a metal material, is an important new engineering materials. In this paper, Al-Al2O3 cermet is prepared adding different sintering aids via the powder metallurgy method to study the properties of Al-Al2O3 cermet. The conclusions are shown the adding sintering aids can significantly improve the sintered density of Al-Al2O3 cermet. The sintering aiding effect of adding MgO is better than that of SiO2 and Y2O3, and the hardness and the strength of the sample are higher than those of samples with SiO2 and Y2O3, and the densification degree of Al-Al2O3 metal ceramic material is the best, the relative density is 94.8%, the surface hardness is 824HV. The flatness of the surface of the sample adding MgO shows that the bonding strength between aluminum powder and alumina powder is high. The prepared Al-Al2O3 cermet adding different sintering aids have higher density and fewer pores in the microstructure the prepared Al-Al2O3 cermet adding sintering aids has a package structure.

The Mg-1wt.%Ca alloy was fabricated using powder metallurgy method. The anodizing process were done by using different voltage (5V, 15V, 25V) and concentration of KOH (0.1M, 0.5M, 1.0M). The surface changes on PM Mg/1wt.%Ca resulted by anodizing was analyzed using SEM-EDX and XRD pattern. Meanwhile, surface hardness was measured by micro-Vickers hardness machine. The experiment found different XRD pattern between all non-anodized and anodized samples. The study found that increasing the voltage will increase the hardness while increasing KOH concentration reduced the hardness. The relation of the hardness and oxide film formation can be analyzed using SEM-EDX and XRD pattern. The optimum value for voltage, KOH concentration and hardness are 25V, 0.1M and 27.2 HV. The XRD detect the changes in PM Mg/1wt.% Ca indicates the oxide film formation.

MoSi2and SiC ceramics were prepared by traditional powder metallurgy method. A novel ceramic thermocouple (CTC) used in the high temperature and high corrosion environment was assembled by SiC as the cathode and MoSi2as the anode. The thermo-emf of CTC was tested from 25 °C to 1600 °C in air. The results show that there is a simple relationship between the thermo-emf of CTC and the temperature. By holding temperature for 70 h at 1500 °C, the deviation of thermo-emf is ±0.37%, and better than 0.75% which is the criteria of industry thermocouple. And also the response characteristics of CTC were analyzed.

The bullet is used for immobilize object. However it can harm the shooter because it can be ricochet. Thus it, we develop frangible bullet which can be broken when hit the hard target. Conventional bullets are made of lead base material which poison. Therefore frangible bullet does not use lead as base material, so it is classified as green bullet. Green bullet is made by powder metallurgy method. Powder metallurgy process are measuring copper and tin powder, dry mixing, and compacting 600 Mpa in pressure for 10 minutes in holding time, and sintering at 300, 500, 700°C for 0,5; 1; and 1,5 hours in holding time. Then, measure the sinter density and analyze the sample by XRD and SEM-EDX. Based on experiment, we found that the bullet Cu-10%wt which sintering 500 °C in temperature for 1 hour has the best frangibility. The highest theoretical density , compression strength, and hardness are 8.8 gr/cm3, 280.45 MPa, 60.67 HRF. The observer result by scanning electron microscope showed that the phase homogeneity at sintering temperature 500°C for 1 hour in holding times was better than the other variable. By observing phase formed, in XRD pattern show that identified new phase Cu10Sn3caused the material properties fragile.

This work aims at characterising an alumina powder obtained by combustion synthesis, and at evaluating the technical properties of sintered bodies. Particle size distribution and XRD were used to characterise the alumina powder; electrophoresis and rheological measurements were used to select the most suitable processing conditions. Sintered density, flexural strength, Vickers hardness and SEM analysis were used to characterise the bodies sintered at 1600°C. The experimental results showed that a density of 3.60 g/cm3 could be obtained in absence of sintering aids and that the sintered bodies exhibited a flexural strength of 220 MPa and a Vickers hardness of 1100.

The density of the cermet material increases with prolonging holding pressure time is shown, the initial increase speed is faster, and the later growth rate becomes weaker. In the different molding pressure, the pressure is 40MPa and 15min, sintering temperature is 700°C and 1h, the sample density is 2.084g/cm3, the highest density, the best performance, aluminum and alumina distribution is the most uniform.

In the current study, metal–(metal + ceramic) composites composed of biocompatible elements, magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca) and manganese (Mn) were synthesized using a sinter-less powder metallurgy method. The composite has a composition of Mg49Zn49Ca1Mn1 (wt.%) in which the compositional ratio between Mg and Zn was chosen to be near eutectic Mg-Zn composition. The synthesis method was designed to avoid/minimize intermetallic formation by using processing temperatures lower than the Mg-Zn binary eutectic temperature (~ 340 °C). The synthesis process involved extrusion of green compacts at two different temperatures, 150 °C and 200 °C, without sintering. Extrusion was performed directly on the green compacts as well as on the compacts soaked at temperatures of 150 °C and 200 °C, respectively. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the materials synthesized under various processing conditions were investigated. Effect of extrusion temperature as well as soaking temperature on the materials’ properties were also evaluated in details and different properties showed an optimum under different conditions. All the synthesized materials showed no evidence of intermetallic formation which was confirmed by SEM/EDS, XRD, and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) techniques. The study establishes development of unconventional metal–(metal + ceramic) eco-friendly composites and provides important insight into realizing certain properties without using sintering step thus to minimize the energy consumption of the process. The study also highlights the use of magnesium turnings (recyclability) to develop advanced materials.

Cermet includes the excellent properties of ceramic materials and the advantages of metal materials, so it is an important new engineering material. In this paper, Al2O3-Al cermet is prepared using different molding process via the powder metallurgy method to study the properties of Al2O3-Al cermet. The conclusion are shown the increasing density of Al2O3-Al cermet is not obvious with increasing the forming pressure of cermet body during the initial and late processing, but the increasing density is more obvious under the forming pressure for 20-30MPa. The density of cermet materials are increased with prolonging holding pressure time, the initial increase speed is faster, and the later growth rate becomes weaker. When the molding pressure is 30MPa, the holding time is 10min, the sintering temperature is 900°C, the holding time is 1h, the prepared Al2O3-Al cermet adding sintering aids has a coated microstructure, which indicates that the large number of particles is migrated on the grain boundary. The sample density is 2.26g/cm3, the density is highest, the distribution of Al2O3 and Al phase is the most uniform. The buried sintering method is more suitable for the preparation of Al2O3-Al cermet composites than the nudity sintering method.

This work looked for to search out systematically, in scale of laboratory, copper-nickel-aluminum alloys (Cu-Ni-Al) with conventional powder metallurgy processing, in view of the maintenance of the electric and mechanical properties with the intention of getting electric connectors of high performance or high mechanical damping. After cold uniaxial pressing (1000 kPa), sintering (780oC) and suitable homogenization treatments (500oC for different times) under vacuum (powder metallurgy), the obtained Cu-Ni-Al alloys were characterized by optical microscopy, electrical conductivity, Vickers hardness. X rays powder diffraction data were collected for the sintered samples in order to a structural and microstructural analysis. The comparative analysis is based on the sintered density, hardness, macrostructures and microstructures of the samples.
