This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigated the change in microstructure of liquid phase sintered (LPS) silicon carbide. The four samples were each comprised of 98 wt% cubic SiC, 1 wt% alumina (A12O3), and 1 wt% yttria (Y2O3). They were sintered using spark plasma sintering at temperatures of 1350, 1450, 1500, 1550 °C for 30 minutes. SEM images and x-ray characterization were performed to observe grain growth and phase transformations of the material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years there has been rapid growth in the activities involving particulate materials because of recognized advantages in manufacturing. This growth is attributed to several factors; i) an increased concern over energy utilization, ii) a desire to better control microstructure in engineermg materials, iii) the need for 1mproved material economy, iv) societal and economic pressures for higher productivity and quality, v) requirements for unique property combinations for high performance applica tions, and vi) a desire for net shape forming. Accordingly, liquid phase sintering has received increased attention as part of the growth in particulate materials processing. As a consequence, the commercial applications for liquid phase sintering are expanding rapidly. This active and expanding interest is not well served by available texts. For this reason I felt it was appropriate to write this book on liquid phase sintering. The technology of liquid phase sintering IS quite old and has been in use in the ceramics industry for many centuries. However, the general perception among materials and manufacturing engineers is that liquid phase sintering is still a novel technique. I believe the diverse technological appli cations outlined in this book will dispel I such impressions. Liquid phase. sintering has great value in fabricating several unique materials to near net shapes and will continue to expand in applications as the fundamental attrib utes are better appreciated. I am personally involved with several uses for liquid phase sintering.

Download or read book Sintering From Empirical Observations to Scientific Principles written by Randall German and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As sintering applications march toward a $30 billion global business, the models for sintering have progressed, but generally follow behind observation. Documentation of the steps needed to build to a quantitative and predictive theory are often missed. Sintering: From Empirical Observations to Scientific Principles partitions sintering applications and observations to show critical turning points required to establish modern sintering as a predictive science. This book, written by the most cited author in his field, is laced with people, organizations, critical steps, and important formulations in a mixture of history, personalities, and applications. Exploring how insights in seemingly unrelated fields sparked progress, it is also a teaching tool to show where there is success, where there are problems, and how to organize teams to leapfrog to new applications or plateaus of use. Randall German's Sintering: From Empirical Observations to Scientific Principles is a platform for directly addressing the critical control parameters in these new research and development efforts. - Shows how the theories and understanding of sintering were developed and improved over time, and how different products were developed, ultimately leading to important knowledge and lessons for solving real sintering problems - Covers all the necessary infrastructure of sintering theory and practice, such as atomic theory, surface energy, microstructure, and measurement and observation tools - Introduces the history and development of such early sintered products as porcelain, tungsten lamp filaments, bronze bearings, steel automotive components, platinum crucibles and more

Download or read book Microstructure mechanical Properties Relations in Pressureless Sintered SiC TiB2 Composite Ceramics written by Dusan Bucevac and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract Densification and mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness and flexural strength) of the SiC-TiB2 composite were studied. Pressureless sintering experiments were carried out on samples containing 0 to 50 vol % of TiB2 created by an in-situ reaction between TiO2 and C: 2TiO2 + B4C + 3C [right arrow] 2TiB2 + 4CO [upward arrow] Al2O3 and Y2O3 were used as sintering additives to create a liquid phase and promote densification at sintering temperatures ranging from 1820 to 1940oC. The sintered samples were subsequently heat-treated at temperatures ranging from 1850 to 1970oC It was found that the presence of TiB2 formed by the above reaction serves as an effective obstacle to crack propagation thus increasing both the strength and fracture toughness of SiC while maintaining high a hardness of the sintered samples. Densities higher than 98 % TD were achieved depending on both the sintering temperature and heat treatment conditions. From a density viewpoint, the optimum volume fraction of TiB2 was from 12 to 24 vol %. Typical microstructures for samples with this volume fraction of TiB2 consist of TiB2 particles (

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the edited Proceedings of the Sixth World Round Table Conference on Sintering, held in Herceg-Novi, Yugoslavia on September 2-6, 1985. It was organized by the International Institute for the Science of Sintering (IISS), headquartered in Beograd. Every fourth year since 1969, the Institute has organized such a Round Table Conference on Sintering, each has taken place at some selected lo cation within Yugoslavia. A separate series of IISS Summer Schools have also been held at four year intervals, but they have been offset by about two years, so they occur between the main Conferences. As a rule, the Summer Schools have been devoted to more specific topics and they also take place in different countries. The aim of these Conferences and their related Summer Schools has been to bring together scientists from allover the world who work in various fields of science and technology concerned with sinter ing and sintered materials. A total of six IISS Conferences have been held over the period 1969-1985, and they have been supplemented by the three Summer Schools held in Yugoslavia, Poland and India (in 1975, 1979 and 1983, respectively). This most recent five day Conference addressed the fundamental scien tific background as well as the technological state-of-the-art in sintering and sintered materials. It encompassed many of the high technology sintered materials needed for a wide variety of research and industrial applications.

Book excerpt: Liquid phase sintering is used to densify silicon carbide based ceramics using a compound comprising a rare earth oxide and aluminum oxide to form liquids at temperatures in excess of 1600.degree. C. The resulting sintered ceramic body has a density greater than 95% of its theoretical density and hardness in excess of 23 GPa. Boron and carbon are not needed to promote densification and silicon carbide powder with an average particle size of greater than one micron can be densified via the liquid phase process. The sintered ceramic bodies made by the present invention are fine grained and have secondary phases resulting from the liquid phase.
