Liquid Phase Sintering of (Ti,Zr)C with WC-Co.

ABSTRACT: (Ti,Zr)C powder was sintered with WC-Co following an industrial process, including an isotherm at 1410 °C. A series of interrupted sintering trials was performed with the aim of studying the sintering behavior and the microstructural evolution during both solid-state and liquid-state sintering. Reference samples, using the same elemental compositions but with the starting components TiC and ZrC instead of (Ti,Zr)C, were also sintered. The microstructure was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. It is found that the (Ti,Zr)C phase decomposes into Ti-rich and Zr-rich nano-scale lamellae before the liquid-state of the sintering initiates. The final microstructure consists of the binder and WC as well as two different γ phases, rich in either Ti (γ₁) or Zr (γ₂). The γ₂ phase grains have a core-shell structure with a (Ti,Zr)C core following the full sintering cycle. The major differences observed in (Ti,Zr)C with respect to the reference samples after the full sintering cycle were the referred core-shell structure and the carbide grain sizes; additionally, the microstructural evolution during sintering differs. The grain size of carbides (WC, γ₁, and γ₂) is about 10% smaller in WC-(Ti,Zr)C-Co than WC-TiC-ZrC-Co. The shrinkage behavior and hardness of both composites are reported and discussed.

Effect of Zr Content on Phase Stability, Deformation Behavior, and Young's Modulus in Ti-Nb-Zr Alloys.

Project description:Ti alloys have attracted continuing research attention as promising biomaterials due to their superior corrosion resistance and biocompatibility and excellent mechanical properties. Metastable ?-type Ti alloys also provide several unique properties such as low Young's modulus, shape memory effect, and superelasticity. Such unique properties are predominantly attributed to the phase stability and reversible martensitic transformation. In this study, the effects of the Nb and Zr contents on phase constitution, transformation temperature, deformation behavior, and Young's modulus were investigated. Ti-Nb and Ti-Nb-Zr alloys over a wide composition range, i.e., Ti-(18-40)Nb, Ti-(15-40)Nb-4Zr, Ti-(16-40)Nb-8Zr, Ti-(15-40)Nb-12Zr, Ti-(12-17)Nb-18Zr, were fabricated and their properties were characterized. The phase boundary between the ? phase and the ?'' martensite phase was clarified. The lower limit content of Nb to suppress the martensitic transformation and to obtain a single ? phase at room temperature decreased with increasing Zr content. The Ti-25Nb, Ti-22Nb-4Zr, Ti-19Nb-8Zr, Ti-17Nb-12Zr and Ti-14Nb-18Zr alloys exhibit the lowest Young's modulus among Ti-Nb-Zr alloys with Zr content of 0, 4, 8, 12, and 18 at.%, respectively. Particularly, the Ti-14Nb-18Zr alloy exhibits a very low Young's modulus less than 40 GPa. Correlation among alloy composition, phase stability, and Young's modulus was discussed.

Preparation, Characterization, and Properties of Novel Ti-Zr-Be-Co Bulk Metallic Glasses.

Project description:We developed novel Ti-Zr-Be-Co bulk metallic glasses through Co addition based on a ternary Ti45Zr20Be35 alloy. By altering the alloying routes and alloying contents, the influence of Co alloying on glass-forming ability, thermal stability, thermoplastic formability, crystallization behavior, and corrosion resistance has been investigated systematically. It was found that the best alloying route for enhancing the glass-forming ability, thermoplastic formability, compressive plasticity, and corrosion resistance is to replace Be by Co. Ti45Zr20Be23Co12 possesses the largest critical diameter of 15 mm for glass formation. Ti45Zr20Be27Co8 possesses the highest thermoplastic formability which is comparable to that of Vitreloy alloys. Ti45Zr20Be25Co10 exhibits the largest room temperature plasticity of 15.7% together with a high specific strength of 3.90 × 105 Nm/kg. The addition of Co also strongly affects the crystallization behavior of the base alloy, resulting in a more complex crystallization process. The corrosion resistance of Ti-Zr-Be alloy in 1 mol/L HCl solution can also be enhanced by Co alloying. The related mechanisms have been explained in detail, which provide guidance for the composition design of Ti-based metallic glasses with improved properties.

Effect of titanium addition on the thermal properties of diamond/cu-ti composites fabricated by pressureless liquid-phase sintering technique.

Project description:In this study, minor-addition elements such as Si, Co, Cr, W, Mo, and Ti were added to matrix to improve the wettability between the diamonds and Cu matrix. The pressureless liquid-phase sintering technique adopted in this study provides a low-cost method for producing diamond/Cu composites with high potential for industrial mass production. Thermal properties of the diamond/Cu-Ti composites fabricated by pressureless liquid-phase sintering at 1373 K with variation in Ti contents were thoroughly investigated. XRD and TEM analysis show that TiC layer formed in the interface between Cu and diamond. The composites exhibited thermal conductivity as high as 620 W/m · K for 50 vol% diamond/Cu-0.6 at % Ti composite with diamond particle size of 300 µm. This value comes up to 85% of the thermal conductivity calculated by the Hasselman and Johnson (H-J) theoretical analysis. Under these conditions, a suitable coefficient of thermal expansion of 6.9 ppm/K was obtained.

Rapid liquid phase-assisted ultrahigh-temperature sintering of high-entropy ceramic composites.

Project description:High-entropy ceramics and their composites display high mechanical strength and attractive high-temperature stabilities. However, properties like strong covalent bond character and low self-diffusion coefficients make them difficult to get sintered, limiting their mass popularity. Here, we present a rapid liquid phase-assisted ultrahigh-temperature sintering strategy and use high-entropy metal diboride/boron carbide composite as a proof of concept. We use a carbon-based heater to fast-heat the composite to around 3000 K, and a small fraction of eutectic liquid was formed at the interface between high-entropy metal diborides and boron carbide. A crystalline dodecaboride intergranular phase was generated upon cooling to ameliorate the adhesion between the components. The as-sintered composite presents a high hardness of 36.4 GPa at a load of 0.49 N and 24.4 GPa at a load of 9.8 N. This liquid phase-assisted rapid ultrahigh-temperature strategy can be widely applicable for other ultrahigh-temperature ceramics as well.

Filling a Gap: The Coordinatively Saturated Group?4 Carbonyl Complexes TM(CO)8 (TM=Zr, Hf) and Ti(CO)7.

Project description:Homoleptic Group?4 metal carbonyl cation and neutral complexes were prepared in the gas phase and/or in solid neon matrix. Infrared spectroscopy studies reveal that both zirconium and hafnium form eight-coordinate carbonyl neutral and cation complexes. In contrast, titanium forms only the six-coordinate Ti(CO)6 + and seven-coordinate Ti(CO)7 . Titanium octacarbonyl Ti(CO)8 is unstable as a result of steric repulsion between the CO ligands. The 20-electron Zr(CO)8 and Hf(CO)8 complexes represent the first experimentally observed homoleptic octacarbonyl neutral complexes of transition metals. The molecules still fulfill the 18-electron rule, because one doubly occupied valence orbital does not mix with any of the metal valence atomic orbitals. Zr(CO)8 and Hf(CO)8 are stable against the loss of one CO because the CO ligands encounter less steric repulsion than Zr(CO)7 and Hf(CO)7 . The heptacarbonyl complexes have shorter metal-CO bonds than that of the octacarbonyl complexes due to stronger electrostatic and covalent bonding, but the significantly smaller repulsive Pauli term makes the octacarbonyl complexes stable.

Atomic reconfiguration among tri-state transition at ferroelectric/antiferroelectric phase boundaries in Pb(Zr,Ti)O<sub>3</sub>.

Project description:Phase boundary provides a fertile ground for exploring emergent phenomena and understanding order parameters couplings in condensed-matter physics. In Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3, there are two types of composition-dependent phase boundary with both technological and scientific importance, i.e. morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) separating polar regimes into different symmetry and ferroelectric/antiferroelectric (FE/AFE) phase boundary dividing polar and antipolar dipole configurations. In contrast with extensive studies on MPB, FE/AFE phase boundary is far less explored. Here, we apply atomic-scale imaging and Rietveld refinement to directly demonstrate the intermediate phase at FE/AFE phase boundary exhibits a rare multipolar Pb-cations ordering, i.e. coexistence of antipolar or polar displacement, which manifests itself in both periodically gradient lattice spacing and anomalous initial hysteresis loop. In-situ electron/neutron diffraction reveals that the same parent intermediate phase can transform into either FE or AFE state depending on suppression of antipolar or polar displacement, coupling with the evolution of long-/short-range oxygen octahedra tilts. First-principle calculations further show that the transition between AFE and FE phase can occur in a low-energy pathway via the intermediate phase. These findings enrich the structural understanding of FE/AFE phase boundary in perovskite oxides.

Ti insertion in the MTe(5) (M = Zr, Hf) structure type: Hf(0.78)Ti(0.22)Te(5).

Project description:The group 5 mixed-metal telluride, Hf(0.78)Ti(0.22)Te(5) (hafnium titanium penta-telluride), is isostructural with the binary phases HfTe(5) and ZrTe(5) and forms a layered structure extending parallel to (010). The layers are made up from chains of bicapped metal-centered trigonal prisms and zigzag Te chains. The metal site (site symmetry m2m) is occupied by statistically disordered Hf [78.1?(5)%] and Ti [21.9?(5)%]. In addition to the regular Te-Te pair [2.7448?(13)?Å] forming the short base of the equilateral triangle of the trigonal prism, an inter-mediate Te?Te separation [2.9129?(9)?Å] is also found. The classical charge balance of the compound can be described as [M(4+)][Te(2-)][Te(2) (2-)][Te(2) (0)] (M = Hf, Ti). The individual metal content can vary in different crystals, apparently forming a random substitutional solid solution (Hf(1-x)Ti(x))Te(5), with 0.15 ? x ? 0.22.

Microstructure Evolution and Mechanical Properties Improvement in Liquid-Phase-Sintered Hydroxyapatite by Laser Sintering.

Project description:CaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ (CAS) as a liquid phase was introduced into hydroxyapatite (HAp) to prepare bone scaffolds. The effects of the CAS content (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 wt%) on microstructure and mechanical properties of HAp ceramics were investigated. The optimal compression strength, fracture toughness and Vickers hardness reached 22.22 MPa, 1.68 MPa·m1/2 and 4.47 GPa when 3 wt% CAS was added, which were increased by 105%, 63% and 11% compared with those of HAp ceramics without CAS, respectively. The improvement of the mechanical properties was attributed to the improved densification, which was caused by the solid particle to rearrange during liquid phase sintering. Moreover, simulated body fluid (SBF) study indicated the HAp ceramics could maintain the mechanical properties and form a bone-like apatite layer when they were immersed in SBF. Cell culture was used to evaluate biocompatibility of the HAp ceramics. The results demonstrated MG-63 cells adhered and spread well.

Sintering Mechanism, Microstructure Evolution, and Mechanical Properties of Ti-Added Mo2FeB2-Based Cermets.

Project description:Four series of Mo2FeB2-based cermets with Ti contents between 0 wt.% and 1.5 wt.% in 0.5 wt.% increments were prepared by in situ reaction and liquid phase sintering technology. Influences of Ti on microstructure and mechanical properties of cermets were studied. It was found that Ti addition increases formation temperatures of liquid phases in liquid-phase stage. Ti atoms replace a fraction of Mo atoms in Mo2FeB2 and the solution of Ti atoms causes the Mo2FeB2 crystal to be equiaxed. In addition, the cermets with 1.0 wt.% Ti content exhibit the smallest particle size. The solution of Ti atoms in Mo2FeB2 promotes the transformation of Mo2FeB2 particles from elongated shape to equiaxed shape. With Ti content increasing from 0 wt.% to 1.5 wt.%, the hardness and transverse rupture strength (TRS) first increase and then decrease. The maximum hardness and TRS occur with 1.0 wt.% Ti content. However, the fracture toughness decreases as Ti content increases. The cermets with 1.0 wt.% Ti content show excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, and the hardness, fracture toughness, and TRS are HRA 89.5, 12.9 MPa?m1/2, and 1612.6 MPa, respectively.

Neel-like domain walls in ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 single crystals.

Project description:In contrast to the flexible rotation of magnetization direction in ferromagnets, the spontaneous polarization in ferroelectric materials is highly confined along the symmetry-allowed directions. Accordingly, chirality at ferroelectric domain walls was treated only at the theoretical level and its real appearance is still a mystery. Here we report a Néel-like domain wall imaged by atom-resolved transmission electron microscopy in Ti-rich ferroelectric Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 crystals, where nanometre-scale monoclinic order coexists with the tetragonal order. The formation of such domain walls is interpreted in the light of polarization discontinuity and clamping effects at phase boundaries between the nesting domains. Phase-field simulation confirms that the coexistence of both phases as encountered near the morphotropic phase boundary promotes the polarization to rotate in a continuous manner. Our results provide a further insight into the complex domain configuration in ferroelectrics, and establish a foundation towards exploring chiral domain walls in ferroelectrics.
