Gradient Structure of Ti-Al-C Ternary Carbide Prepared by Hot-pressing Sintering

X-ray diffraction ( XRD ) analysis on different polished surfaces normal to the hot pressing direction reveals that the phase compositions of the polished surfaces from the outside to the inside are pure TiC,Ti3 AlC2 TiC, pure Ti3 AlC2 and Ti2 AlC Ti3 AlC2 , no matter elemental powder or TiC is used as raw materials, It is found that ternary-la2ered carbide Ti2 AlC samples synthesized at 1500℃ by hot-pressing sintering are inhomogeneous and have a gradient structure. Electron probe X-ray micro-analysis ( EPMA ) indicates that the Al content along the hot pressing axis is parabolic, it is the highest in the center and the lowest at the both ends,while the Ti content is constant along the axis. The experimental result reveals that the evaporation of Al in samples in an open ,system during hot pressing sintering results in a gradient structure.

Preparation of Ti3SiC2 with Aluminum by Means of Spark Plasma Sintering

Polycrystalline bulk Ti3SiC2 material with a high purity and density was fabricated by spark plasma sintering from the elemental powder mixture with starting composition of Ti3Si3Si1-xAlxC2 , where x = 0. 05 -0.2.

Preparation of Superfine-Cemented Carbide by Spark Plasma Sintering

92WC-8Co puwder mixture with superfine-tungsten carbide was respectively sintered by spark plasma sintering（ SPS ） and sintering isostutic pressure （SIP）. Complete dense samples with 200 nm WC grains and 94.2HRA hardness were prepared by spark plasma sintering at 1 150 ℃ and under 4.5 kN for 5 minutes.

Electronic Structures and Bonding Properties of Ti_2AlC and Ti_3AlC_2

The relation among electronic structure, chemical bond and property of Ti2AlC, Ti3AlC2 and doping Si into Ti2AlC was studied by density function and the discrete variation (DFT-DVM) method. After adding Si into Ti2AlC, the interaction between Si and Ti is weaker than that between Al and Ti, and the strengths of ionic and covalent bonds decrease both. The ionic and covalent bonds in Ti3AlC2, especially in Ti-Al, are stronger than those in Ti2AlC. Therefore, in synthesis of Ti2AlC, the addition of Si enhances the Ti3AlC2 content instead of Ti2AlC. The density of state (DOS) shows that there is mixed conductor characteristic in Ti2AlC and Ti3AlC2. The DOS of Ti3AlC2 is much like that of Ti2AlC. Ti2SixAl1-xC has more obvious tendency to form a semiconductor than Ti2AlC, which is seen from the obvious difference of partial DOS between Si and Al 3p.     

Preparation of porous silicon carbide by combustion synthesis

Porous silicon carbide ceramics were prepared by combustion synthesis technique. SiC/TiC composite was gained by combustion reaction of Si, C and Ti. Thermodynamics analysis of Si-C-Ti system indicates that the content of TiC in products should be larger than 30%. The experimental results show that the content of Ti C should be larger than 25% to achieve a complete combustion reaction. The X-ray diffractometry results show that the final products with a relative density of 45%-64% are composed of a-SiC,β-SiC, TiC and a small quantity of Si. The images of scanning electron microscopy show that the structures of grain in SiC based porous ceramics consist of particles with a few microns in size.     

Effect of Nb on the mechanical properties of Ti/Al2O3 composite

Ti/Al₂O₃ composite with improved mechanical properties was synthesized by the spark plasma sintering. The effect of Nb on the microstructure of the composite was analyzed by TEM, SEM and so on. The experimental results indicate that the bending strength, fracture toughness, micro-hardness and relative density of the composite are 897.29MPa, 17.38MPa·m^1/2, 17.13GPa and 99.24% respectively when adding 1.5vol Nb. The bending strength is improved by reason of forming dislocation ring and transfering fracture mode from integranular to mixture fracture of intergranular and transgranular. The crack propagating is mainly the deflection bridging. It indicates a reduction of crack driving force and an increase in crack growth resistance, which results in toughness enhanced.

Fabrication of Dense Ultrafine TiAl Alloys by Spark Plasma Synthesis from Mechanically Activiated Powders

Powder of Ti-46at%Al alloy was synthesized through mechanical activation（MA） and then sintered and concurrently consolidated in a short sintering time of 900 s by using a spark plasma sintering（SPS） process. The XRD and SEM profiles show that the microstructures of TiAl alloys contained γ TiAl and small amount α-2 Ti3Al phase, whose amount can be controlled by the sintering temperature. The compacts retained the original fine-grained fully densified bodies by avoiding an excessively high sintering temperature. The alloys sintered at higher temperature with this process showed a coarser microstructure. So it is possible to produce dense nanostructured TiAl alloys by mechanically activated spark plasma sintering （MASPS） within a very short period of time.
