The effect of hot-press sintering temperature on density of tungsten heavy alloys is presented in this paper. The experiments were performed for the WNi5Cu3 samples of W-Ni-Cu heavy alloy system. The hot-press sintering temperature was ranged from 1300 to 1440 °c with a constant applied pressure of 40 MPa. Subsequently, the sintered samples were annealed at 1000 °c in acgon atmosphere during 3 h. The results showed that the obtained heavy alloys had maximum density of 17,427 g.cm3 and final particle size around (10 + 15) mm. The obtained results met the requirement for fabrication of small balanced parts for aeronautical industry.

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.

Al2O3-MgO, Al2O3-Y2O3 and Al2O3-MgO-Y2O3 composite ceramics were fabricated respectively by hot-press sintering technique. With the analysis of the mechanical properties and microstructure, it was found that single additive MgO could be more favorable to the grains’ refinement and densification than Y2O3; the composite additive including both MgO and Y2O3 was better than single additive MgO or Y2O3, because their interactions could improve the mechanical properties of the Al2O3 ceramics; The sintering temperature could be reduced by adding the suitable amount of composite additives.

In order to investigate the effects of TiN content on Al2O3/TiN ceramic material (ATN), the ATN ceramic materials were prepared of TiN content in 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% in the condition of hot press sintering. The sintering temperature is 1700°C, the sintering press is 32MPa, and the holding time are 5min, 10min, 15min. The effects of TiN content on mechanical properties and microstructure of ATN ceramic materials were investigated by analyzing the bending strength, hardness, fracture toughness. The results show that ATN50 has the best mechanical property, its bending strength is 659.41MPa, vickers hardness is 13.79GPa, fracture toughness is 7.06MPa·m1/2. It is indicated that the TiN content has important effect on microstructure and mechanical properties of ATN ceramic materials.

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.

Probably the most advantageous fabrication technology of tungsten heavy alloys enabling the achievement of required performance combines methods of powder metallurgy and processing by intensive plastic deformation. Since the selected processing conditions applied for each individual processing step affect the final structures and properties of the alloys, their optimization is of the utmost importance. This study deals with thorough investigations of the effects of sintering temperature, sintering time, and subsequent quenching in water on the structures and mechanical properties of a 93W6Ni1Co tungsten heavy alloy. The results showed that sintering at temperatures of or above 1525 °C leads to formation of structures featuring W agglomerates surrounded by the NiCo matrix. The sintering time has non-negligible effects on the microhardness of the sintered samples as it affects the diffusion and structure softening phenomena. Implementation of quenching to the processing technology results in excellent plasticity of the green sintered and quenched pieces of almost 20%, while maintaining the strength of more than 1000 MPa.

A new WC matrix nanocomposite cermet was prepared by hot-press sintering. In the composite, certain amounts of VC is added to the composite as grain growth inhibitors. The consolidation is carried out under pressure 30~35Mpa and sintering temperature 1610°C for soaking 30min sintering. Microstructure of the nanocomposite cermet is scanned by SEM and mechanical properties are measured. It is detected that microstructure and fracture morphology is dissimilar to different particle sizes. Experimental results show that particle size of WC is important to the composite. Results show that relative density and hardness have the similar trend in growth. Meanwhile, the function of Al2O3 addition is also investigated in this paper.

In this paper, the MgAlON ceramic was fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and hot press sintering respectively. The results showed that highly pure and single-phase MgAlON could be fabricated at lower sintering temperature in a short period through SPS process, compared with the conventional Hot Press sintering (HP) process. The bending strength of MgAlON specimens prepared by SPS process was higher than 500MPa while bending strength of HP specimens was much lower. The open porosity was almost eliminated in SPS MgAlON specimens. Spark Plasma Sintered MgAlON had a single phase of MgAlON while Hot Press Sintered MgAlON had major MgAlON and minor AlN and Al2O3.

Recently, developing new alloys of Tungsten heavy (WHA) is the most important issue that researchers considered due to their wide applications of radiation protectors, vibration absorber, kinetic energy penetrators and heavy-duty electrical contacts. The present work shows 9 different Tungsten alloys with a variety of weight percent’s from "Graphene" as a Nano- particle additive. The proposed alloys produced by minimizing manufacturing parameters by applying the Taguchi technique. In addition, this work used to relate the Powder-Metallurgy (PM) parameters such as Sintering Temperature (ST) level, the weight % of the added Nano-particle of Graphene (Gw) and the type of Process Control Agent (PCA) with the mechanical characteristics such as Young’s modulus, modulus of Bulk, modulus of Shear, Poisson's number, Vickers hardness, Grain size , Relative Density. The results showed that specimen number 8 is given higher values of modulus of elasticity, reached 326.2 GPa, bulk value of 255.64 GPa, and shear value of 126.7 GPa with PM preparation condition at 15000C sintering temperature, stearic acid as a process control agent (PCA) and 0.0 %Wt. of Graphene.
