Effects of HfB₂ and HfN Additions on the Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of TiB₂-Based Ceramic Tool Materials.

ABSTRACT: The effects of HfB₂ and HfN additions on the microstructures and mechanical properties of TiB₂-based ceramic tool materials were investigated. The results showed that the HfB₂ additive not only can inhibit the TiB₂ grain growth but can also change the morphology of some TiB₂ grains from bigger polygons to smaller polygons or longer ovals that are advantageous for forming a relatively fine microstructure, and that the HfN additive had a tendency toward agglomeration. The improvement of flexural strength and Vickers hardness of the TiB₂-HfB₂ ceramics was due to the relatively fine microstructure; the decrease of fracture toughness was ascribed to the formation of a weaker grain boundary strength due to the brittle rim phase and the poor wettability between HfB₂ and Ni. The decrease of the flexural strength and Vickers hardness of the TiB₂-HfN ceramics was due to the increase of defects such as TiB₂ coarse grains and HfN agglomeration; the enhancement of fracture toughness was mainly attributed to the decrease of the pore number and the increase of the rim phase and TiB₂ coarse grains. The toughening mechanisms of TiB₂-HfB₂ ceramics mainly included crack bridging and transgranular fracture, while the toughening mechanisms of TiB₂-HfN ceramics mainly included crack deflection, crack bridging, transgranular fracture, and the core-rim structure.

Effects of V and Co Element Addition on Microstructures and the Mechanical Properties of In Situ Biphasic Hybrid (TiCxNy?TiB?)/Ni Cermets.

Project description:In situ micro-(TiCxNy?TiB?)/Ni cermets with different Co and V content (2,5 and 8 wt.%) were successfully fabricated by combustion synthesis and hot press consolidation in Ni?(V/Co)?Ti?B?C?BN systems. The results indicate that as Co content increased from 0 to 8 wt.%, the average sizes of the ceramic particles decreased, when the content of V increased from 0 to 8 wt.%, the size of the ceramic particles first decreased and then increased, and when the V content is 5%, the ceramic particle size is the smallest. The Co element did not participate in the SHS reaction and was a diluent; therefore, when the Co element was added, the combustion temperature continued to decrease. When the V content was no more than 5 wt.%, as the V content increased, the maximum combustion temperature decreased. When the content of V was less than 5 wt.%, the concentration of V was not sufficient to greatly promote the generation of VN. Therefore, V absorbed a large amount of heat during the reaction, resulting in a continuous decrease in the reaction temperature of the reaction system during the reaction. When the content of the added V continued to increase to 8 wt.%, V participated in the reaction, which was exothermic. The results indicate that as Co content increased from 0 to 8 wt.%, the average sizes of the ceramic particles decreased, and the cermets with 5 wt.% Co possessed the best comprehensive properties: the highest hardness (1967 Hv), superior compression strength (3.25 GPa) and higher fracture strain (3.3%). Correspondingly, when the V content was 8 wt.%, the ultimate compressive strength and hardness of the cermets reached 1823 Hv and 3.11 GPa, respectively, 262 Hv and 0.17 GPa higher than those of the unalloyed cermets, respectively. Furthermore, the effects of Co and V on strengthening mechanisms were analyzed.

Effects of Ti Containing Cu-Based Alloy on Sintering Mechanism, Element Diffusion Behavior and Physical Properties of Glass-Ceramic Bond for Cubic Boron Nitride Abrasive Tool Materials.

Project description:Ti containing Cu-based (TC) alloy reinforced glass-ceramic bond was fabricated for cubic boron nitride (CBN) abrasive tool materials, and its crystal composition, phase transformation, sintering activation energy, microstructure, element diffusion mathematical model, physical properties, and the bonding mechanism between the TC alloy reinforced glass-ceramic bond and the CBN grains were systematically investigated. The results showed that the structure, composition and sintering behavior of glass-ceramic were influenced by TC alloy adding. The generated TiO2 affected obviously the precipitation of β-quartz solid solution Li2Al2Si3O10, thus improving the relative crystallinity, mechanical strength and thermal properties. By establishing the mathematical model for element diffusion, the element diffusion coefficients of Ti and Cu were 7.82 and 6.98 × 10-11 cm2/s, respectively, which indicated that Ti diffused better than Cu in glass-ceramic. Thus, Ti4+ formed a strong Ti-N chemical bond on the CBN surface, which contributed to improving the wettability and bonding strength between CBN and glass-ceramic bond. After adding TC alloy, the physical properties of the composite were optimized. The porosity, bulk density, flexural strength, Rockwell hardness, CTE, and thermal conductivity of the composites were 5.8%, 3.16 g/cm3, 175 MPa, 90.5 HRC, 3.74 × 10-6 °C-1, and 5.84 W/(m·k), respectively.

Wear of ceramic-based dental materials.

Project description:An investigation is made of wear mechanisms in a suite of dental materials with a ceramic component and tooth enamel using a laboratory test that simulates clinically observable wear facets. A ball-on-3-specimen wear tester in a tetrahedral configuration with a rotating hard antagonist zirconia sphere is used to produce circular wear scars on polished surfaces of dental materials in artificial saliva. Images of the wear scars enable interpretation of wear mechanisms, and measurements of scar dimensions quantify wear rates. Rates are lowest for zirconia ceramics, highest for lithium disilicate, with feldspathic ceramic and ceramic-polymer composite intermediate. Examination of wear scars reveals surface debris, indicative of a mechanism of material removal at the microstructural level. Microplasticity and microcracking models account for mild and severe wear regions. Wear models are used to evaluate potential longevity for each dental material. It is demonstrated that controlled laboratory testing can identify and quantify wear susceptibility under conditions that reflect the essence of basic occlusal contact. In addition to causing severe material loss, wear damage can lead to premature tooth or prosthetic failure.

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

Project description: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.

Controlled mechanical buckling for origami-inspired construction of 3D microstructures in advanced materials.

Project description:Origami is a topic of rapidly growing interest in both the scientific and engineering research communities due to its promising potential in a broad range of applications. Previous assembly approaches of origami structures at the micro/nanoscale are constrained by the applicable classes of materials, topologies and/or capability of control over the transformation. Here, we introduce an approach that exploits controlled mechanical buckling for autonomic origami assembly of 3D structures across material classes from soft polymers to brittle inorganic semiconductors, and length scales from nanometers to centimeters. This approach relies on a spatial variation of thickness in the initial 2D structures as an effective strategy to produce engineered folding creases during the compressive buckling process. The elastic nature of the assembly scheme enables active, deterministic control over intermediate states in the 2D to 3D transformation in a continuous and reversible manner. Demonstrations include a broad set of 3D structures formed through unidirectional, bidirectional, and even hierarchical folding, with examples ranging from half cylindrical columns and fish scales, to cubic boxes, pyramids, starfish, paper fans, skew tooth structures, and to amusing system-level examples of soccer balls, model houses, cars, and multi-floor textured buildings.

Project description:This brief paper contains raw data of X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, microstructural characterization, chemical compositions, and mechanical properties describing the influence of Al, Ti, and C on as-cast Al0.6CoCrFeNi compositionally complex alloys (CCAs). The presented data are related to the research article in reference [1] and therefore this article can be referred to as for the interpretation of the data. X-ray diffraction data presented in this paper are measurements of 2θ versus intensities for each studied alloy. A Table lists the obtained lattice parameters of each identified phase determined by Rietveld analysis. Microstructural-characterization data reported here include backscattered electron (BSE) micrographs taken at different magnifications in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) of Widmanstätten and dendritic microstructures and microstructural parameters such as phase volume fractions, thickness of face-centered cubic (FCC) plates, and prior grain sizes. The compositions of the identified individual phases determined by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) are listed as well. Finally, mechanical data including engineering stress-strain curves obtained at different temperatures (room temperature, 400 °C, and 700 °C) for all CCAs are reported.

Mapping the Mechanical Properties of Hierarchical Supercrystalline Ceramic-Organic Nanocomposites.

Project description:Multiscale ceramic-organic supercrystalline nanocomposites with two levels of hierarchy have been developed via self-assembly with tailored content of the organic phase. These nanocomposites consist of organically functionalized ceramic nanoparticles forming supercrystalline micron-sized grains, which are in turn embedded in an organic-rich matrix. By applying an additional heat treatment step at mild temperatures (250-350 °C), the mechanical properties of the hierarchical nanocomposites are here enhanced. The heat treatment leads to partial removal and crosslinking of the organic phase, minimizing the volume occupied by the nanocomposites' soft phase and triggering the formation of covalent bonds through the organic ligands interfacing the ceramic nanoparticles. Elastic modulus and hardness up to 45 and 2.5 GPa are attained, while the hierarchical microstructure is preserved. The presence of an organic phase between the supercrystalline grains provides a toughening effect, by curbing indentation-induced cracks. A mapping of the nanocomposites' mechanical properties reveals the presence of multiple microstructural features and how they evolve with heat treatment temperature. A comparison with non-hierarchical, homogeneous supercrystalline nanocomposites with lower organic content confirms how the hierarchy-inducing organic excess results in toughening, while maintaining the beneficial effects of crosslinking on the materials' stiffness and hardness.

Microscale Simulation on Mechanical Properties of Al/PTFE Composite Based on Real Microstructures.

Project description:A novel numerical method at the microscale for studying the mechanical behavior of an aluminum-particle-reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (Al/PTFE) composite is proposed and validated experimentally in this paper. Two types of 2D representative volume elements (RVEs), real microstructure-based and simulated microstructures, are established by following a series of image processing procedures and on a statistical basis considering the geometry and the distribution of particles and microvoids, respectively. Moreover, 3D finite element modelling based on the same statistical information as the 2D simulated microstructure models is conducted to show the efficiency and effectiveness of the 2D models. The results of all simulations and experiments indicate that real microstructure-based models and simulated microstructure models are efficient methods to predict elastic and plastic constants of particle-reinforced composites.

Effects of Cooling Rate during Quenching and Tempering Conditions on Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Carbon Steel Flange.

Project description:This study investigated the mechanical properties of steel in flanges, with the goal of obtaining high strength and high toughness. Quenching was applied alone or in combination with tempering at one of nine combinations of three temperatures TTEM and durations tTEM. Cooling rates at various flange locations during quenching were first estimated using finite element method simulation, and the three locations were selected for mechanical testing in terms of cooling rate. Microstructures of specimens were observed at each condition. Tensile test and hardness test were performed at room temperature, and a Charpy impact test was performed at -46 °C. All specimens had a multiphase microstructure composed of matrix and secondary phases, which decomposed under the various tempering conditions. Decrease in cooling rate (CR) during quenching caused reduction in hardness and strength but did not affect low-temperature toughness significantly. After tempering, hardness and strength were reduced and low-temperature toughness was increased. Microstructures and mechanical properties under the various tempering conditions and CRs during quenching were discussed. This work was based on the properties directly obtained from flanges under industrial processes and is thus expected to be useful for practical applications.

Exploring the antimicrobial properties of dark-operating ceramic-based nanocomposite materials for the disinfection of indoor air.

Project description:As people spend more and more time inside, the quality of indoor air becomes crucial matter. This study explores the germicidal potential of two dark-operating germicidal composite materials designed to be applied for the indoor air disinfection under flow conditions. The first material, MnO2/AlPO4/?-Al2O3 beads, is a donor-acceptor interactive composite capable of creating hydroxyl radicals HO?. The second one is a ZnO/?-Al2O3 material with intercropped hexagons on its surface. To determine the antimicrobial efficiency of these materials in life-like conditions, a pilot device was constructed that allows the test of the materials in dynamic conditions and agar diffusion inhibitory tests were also conducted. The results of the tests showed that the MnO2/AlPO4/?-Al2O3 material has a germicidal effect in static conditions whereas ZnO/?-Al2O3 does not. In dynamic conditions, the oxidizing MnO2/AlPO4/?-Al2O3 material is the most efficient when using low air speed whereas the ZnO/?-Al2O3 one becomes more efficient than the other materials when increasing the air linear speed. This ZnO/?-Al2O3 dark-operating germicidal material manifests the ability to proceed the mechanical destruction of bacterial cells. Actually, the antimicrobial efficiency of materials in dynamic conditions varies regarding the air speed through the materials and that static tests are not representative of the behavior of the material for air disinfection. Depending on the conditions, the best strategy to inactivate microorganisms changes and abrasive structures are a field that needs further exploration as they are in most of the conditions tested the best way to quickly decrease the number of microorganisms.
