Bulk TiB₂-Based Ceramic Composites with Improved Mechanical Property Using Fe-Ni-Ti-Al as a Sintering Aid.

ABSTRACT: The densification behavior, microstructure and mechanical properties of bulk TiB₂-based ceramic composites, fabricated using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique with elements of (Fe-Ni-Ti-Al) sinter-aid were investigated. Comparing the change of shrinkage displacement of pure TiB₂ and TiB₂-5 wt% (Fe-Ni-Ti-Al), the addition of elements Fe-Ni-Ti-Al into TiB₂ can facilitate sintering of the TiB₂ ceramics. As the sintering temperature exceeds 1300 °C, the relative density does not significantly change. Alumina particles and austenite (Fe-Ni-Ti) metallic binder distributed homogeneously in the grain boundary of TiB₂ can inhibit the growth of the TiB₂ grains when the sintering temperature is below 1300 °C. The density and particle size of TiB₂ greatly influence the mechanical behavior of TiB₂-5 wt% (Fe-Ni-Ti-Al) composites. The specimen sintered at 1300 has the highest microhardness of 21.1 ± 0.1 GPa with an elastic modulus of 461.4 GPa. The content of secondary borides (M₂B, being M = Fe, Ni), which are more brittle than TiB₂ particles, can also influence the fracture toughness. The specimen sintered at 1500 °C has the highest fracture toughness of 6.16 ± 0.30 MPa·m1/2 with the smallest M₂B phase. The results obtained provide insight into fabrication of ceramic composites with improved mechanical property.

Study on the Impact Resistance of Bionic Layered Composite of TiC-TiB₂/Al from Al-Ti-B₄C System.

Project description:Mechanical property and impact resistance mechanism of bionic layered composite was investigated. Due to light weight and high strength property, white clam shell was chosen as bionic model for design of bionic layered composite. The intercoupling model between hard layer and soft layer was identical to the layered microstructure and hardness tendency of the white clam shell, which connected the bionic design and fabrication. TiC-TiB₂ reinforced Al matrix composites fabricated from Al-Ti-B₄C system with 40 wt. %, 50 wt. % and 30 wt. % Al contents were treated as an outer layer, middle layer and inner layer in hard layers. Pure Al matrix was regarded as a soft layer. Compared with traditional homogenous Al-Ti-B₄C composite, bionic layered composite exhibited high mechanical properties including flexural strength, fracture toughness, compressive strength and impact toughness. The intercoupling effect of layered structure and combination model of hard and soft played a key role in high impact resistance of the bionic layered composite, proving the feasibility and practicability of the bionic model of a white clam shell.

A High-Throughput Structural and Electrochemical Study of Metallic Glass Formation in Ni-Ti-Al.

Project description:On the basis of a set of machine learning predictions of glass formation in the Ni-Ti-Al system, we have undertaken a high-throughput experimental study of that system. We utilized rapid synthesis followed by high-throughput structural and electrochemical characterization. Using this dual-modality approach, we are able to better classify the amorphous portion of the library, which we found to be the portion with a full width at half maximum (fwhm) of >0.42 Å-1 for the first sharp X-ray diffraction peak. Proper phase labeling is important for future machine learning efforts. We demonstrate that the fwhm and corrosion resistance are correlated but that, while chemistry still plays a role in corrosion resistance, a large fwhm, attributed to a glassy phase, is necessary for the highest corrosion resistance.

Efficient Fluoride Removal and Dye Degradation of Contaminated Water Using Fe/Al/Ti Oxide Nanocomposite.

Project description:The trimetallic Fe/Al/Ti (1:1:1) nanocomposite (FAT), synthesized by an adaptable tuned chemical route, offers a new approach for water treatment, for example, the de-fluoridation and photodegradation soluble dye methylene blue (MB) at pH 7. FAT acted as a good fluoride scavenger in the presence of other co-ions and within a widespread pH range (pH 2-11). The photodegradation efficiencies were >90% for different concentrations of MB solutions. The characterization of FAT includes thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and ζ-potential analysis. Furthermore, the regeneration efficiencies of both the water treatments were checked, where the removal efficiency was not hampered significantly even after five batches. Spectroscopic techniques were adopted to perform the kinetic studies and to propose the probable mechanistic paths.

In Situ Formation of TiB<sub>2</sub> in Fe-B System with Titanium Addition and Its Influence on Phase Composition, Sintering Process and Mechanical Properties.

Project description:Interaction of iron and boron at elevated temperatures results in the formation of an E (Fe + Fe2B) eutectic phase that plays a great role in enhancing mass transport phenomena during thermal annealing and therefore in the densification of sintered compacts. When cooled down, this phase solidifies as interconnected hard and brittle material consisting of a continuous network of Fe2B borides formed at the grain boundaries. To increase ductile behaviour, a change in precipitates' stoichiometry was investigated by partially replacing iron borides by titanium borides. The powder of elemental titanium was introduced to blend of iron and boron powders in order to induce TiB2 in situ formation. Titanium addition influence on microstructure, phase composition, density and mechanical properties was investigated. The observations were supported with thermodynamic calculations. The change in phase composition was analysed by means of dilatometry and X-ray diffraction (XRD) coupled with thermodynamic calculations.

Refining Mechanism of 7075 Al Alloy by In-Situ TiB? Particles.

Project description:The nucleation undercooling of TiB?/7075 Al matrix composites, the microstructure observed after solidification at different cooling rate, and the size and distribution of TiB? particles were investigated. The experimental results have shown that the grain sizes of TiB?/7075 Al matrix composites firstly decreased, then increased, and finally decreased again with the increase of TiB? content. The nucleation undercooling of TiB?/7075 Al matrix composites first increased, then decreased, and finally increased again with the increase of TiB? content when the cooling rates was 5 and 10 °C/min respectively, but kept decreasing with the increase of TiB? content at a cooling rate of 20 °C/min. The melting and solidification process showed no significant change with the decrease of cooling rate in 9.0% TiB?/7075 Al matrix composites. Most small particles can act as heterogeneous nucleus, which induced grain growth and were captured into the grain by the solid/liquid interface. At the same time, most of the larger particles and a minority of the small TiB? particles are pushed into the grain boundary; locating in the grain boundary can hinder the Al atoms from diffusing during the solidification process and restrain ?-Al phase growth. The influence of particles shifted from dominating by locating to dominating by nucleation as the quantity of TiB? particles increased.

Tribo-Mechanical Properties of HVOF Deposited Fe₃Al Coatings Reinforced with TiB₂ Particles for Wear-Resistant Applications.

Project description:This study reveals the effect of TiB₂ particles on the mechanical and tribological properties of Fe₃Al-TiB₂ composite coatings against an alumina counterpart. The feedstock was produced by milling Fe₃Al and TiB₂ powders in a high energy ball mill. The high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) technique was used to deposit the feedstock powder on a steel substrate. The effect of TiB₂ addition on mechanical properties and dry sliding wear rates of the coatings at sliding speeds ranging from 0.04 to 0.8 m·s-1 and loads of 3, 5 and 7 N was studied. Coatings made from unreinforced Fe₃Al exhibited a relatively high wear rate. The Vickers hardness, elastic modulus and wear resistance of the coatings increased with increasing TiB₂ content in the Fe₃Al matrix. The wear mechanisms strongly depended on the sliding speed and the presence of TiB₂ particles but were less dependent on the applied load.

Millisecond photonic sintering of iron oxide doped alumina ceramic coatings.

Project description:The sintering of alumina (Al2O3) traditionally occurs at high temperatures (up to ca. 1700 °C) and in significantly long times (up to several hours), which are required for the consolidation of the material by diffusion processes. Here we investigate the photonic sintering of alumina particles using millisecond flash lamp irradiation with extreme heating rates up to 108 K/min. The limitation of the low visible light absorption of alumina is resolved by adding colored α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, which initiated the grain growth during sintering. After the millisecond-long light pulses from a xenon flash lamp, a bimodal mixture of α-Al2O3 precursor particles was sintered and iron segregation at the grain boundaries was observed. The proposed photonic sintering approach based on doping with colored centers may be extended to other refractory ceramics with low absorption in the visible light range once appropriate high-absorbing dopants are identified.

Atom Probe Tomography Analysis of TiCx Powders Synthesized by SHS in Al/Fe/Cu-Ti-C Systems.

Project description:The stoichiometry of titanium carbide (TiCx) particles is important in determining particle properties. Spherical TiCx powders with particle sizes of 1-5 μm were produced by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) in 30 wt.% Al-, 30 wt.% Cu-, and 30 wt.% Fe-Ti-C systems, respectively. To measure the compositions of the carbide powders, atom probe tomography (APT) tip specimens were carefully prepared by using a focus ion-beam milling method. APT analysis revealed that the TiCx particles formed in Al-, Cu-, and Fe-Ti-C systems are highly substoichiometric. The results are consistent with observations of the TiCx particles with a high content of oxygen and a certain amount of secondary metallic elements (Al, Cu, and Fe).

Plastic deformation mechanisms in a severely deformed Fe-Ni-Al-C alloy with superior tensile properties.

Project description:Nanostructured metals have high strength while they usually exhibit limited uniform elongation. While, a yield strength of approximately 2.1?GPa and a uniform elongation of about 26% were achieved in a severely deformed Fe-24.8%Ni-6.0%Al-0.38%C alloy in the present work. The plastic deformation mechanisms for the coarse-grained (CG) sample and the cold-rolled (CR) samples of this alloy were investigated by a series of mechanical tests and microstructure characterizations before and after tensile tests. No obvious phase transformation was observed during the tensile deformation for the CG sample, and the plastic deformation was found to be mainly accommodated by deformation twins and dislocation behaviors. While significant phase transformation occurs for the CR samples due to the facts that the deformed grains by CR are insufficient to sustain the tensile deformation themselves and the flow stress for the CR samples is high enough to activate the martensite transformation. The amount of phase transformation increases with increasing thickness reduction of CR, resulting in excellent tensile ductility in the severely deformed alloy. The back stress hardening was found to play a more important role in the CR samples than in the CG sample due to the dynamically reinforced heterogeneous microstructure by phase transformation.

Effect of Al Element on the Microstructure and Properties of Cu-Ni-Fe-Mn Alloys.

Project description:The effects of aluminum on the mechanical properties and corrosion behavior in artificial seawater of Cu-Ni-Fe-Mn alloys were investigated. Cu-7Ni-xAl-1Fe-1Mn samples, consisting of 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 wt % aluminum along with the same contents of other alloying elements (Ni, Fe, and Mn), were prepared. The microstructure of Cu-7Ni-xAl-1Fe-1Mn alloy was analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and its corrosion property was tested by an electrochemical system. The results show that the mechanical and corrosion properties of Cu-7Ni-xAl-1Fe-1Mn alloy have an obvious change with the aluminum content. The tensile strength has a peak value of 395 MPa by adding 3 wt % aluminum in the alloy. Moreover, the corrosion rate in artificial seawater of Cu-7Ni-3Al-1Fe-1Mn alloy is 0.0215 mm/a which exhibits a better corrosion resistance than the commercially used UNS C70600. It is confirmed that the second-phase transformation of Cu-7Ni-xAl-1Fe-1Mn alloy follows the sequence of ? solid solution ? Ni?Al ? Ni?Al + NiAl ? Ni?Al + NiAl?. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) shows that the adding element aluminum in the Cupronickel can improve the corrosion resistance of Cu-7Ni-xAl-1Fe-1Mn alloy.
