HAP/TZP复合材料的凝胶注模成型研究

多相材料凝胶注模成型时的关键问题是制备出混合均匀的稳定悬浮液，本实验主要研究了pH值、分散剂加入量对于悬浮液稳定性的影响，初步探索了羟基磷灰石（HAP）／氧化锆（TZP）复相陶瓷的凝胶注模成型条件。结果显示：TZP在复合材料中分散均匀，并对基体起到一定的增强作用；其增韧机制主要是纳米颗粒细化晶粒增韧和相变增韧。     

Processing and Properties of Zirconia-Toughened Alumina Prepared by Gelcasting

Zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) using yttria-stabilised zirconia is a good option for ceramic-ceramic bearing couples for hip joint replacement. Gelcasting is a colloidal processing technique capable of producing complex products with a range of dimensions and materials by a relatively low-cost production process. Using gelcasting, ZTA samples were prepared, optimising the stages of fabrication, including slurry preparation with varying solid loadings, moulding and de-moulding, drying and sintering. Density, hardness, fracture toughness, flexural strength and grain size were observed relative to slurry solid loadings between 58 and 62 vol. %, as well as sintering temperatures of 1550 °C and 1650 °C. Optimal conditions found were plastic mould, 4000 g/mol PEG with 30 vol. % concentration, 61% solid loading and T_s = 1550 °C. ZTA samples of high density (maximum 99.1%), high hardness (maximum 1902 HV), high fracture toughness (maximum 5.43 MPa m^1/2) and high flexural strength (maximum 618 MPa) were successfully prepared by gelcasting and pressureless sintering.
