ABSTRACTTitanium diboride (TiB2) has been sintered using spark plasma sintering (SPS). With the addition of Al3Ti, the Vickers hardness, Hv, of TiB2 increases up to as high as 2100 by the sintering at 1273K, while that of the sample sintered without Al3Ti is as low as 20. Such a remarkable improvement is caused by the formation of rigid direct contacts between TiB2 grains in addition to the effect that Al3Ti fills in the space between TiB2 grains and acts as a binder.

ABSTRACTTitanium diboride has been sintered using spark plasma sintering (SPS). With the addition of tetragonal Al3Ti or cubic (Al,Ni)3Ti, the Vickers hardness, Hv, of TiB2 increases up to as high as 2000 by the sintering at 1273K, while that of the sample sintered without additives is as low as 20. Such a remarkable improvement is caused by the improvement of direct link between TiB2 grains in addition to the effect that Al3Ti or (Al,Ni)3Ti fills in the space between TiB2 grains and act as a binder.

Microstructural change of TiB2-Cu nanocomposite during spark plasma sintering (SPS) was investigated. Under simultaneous action of pressure, temperature and pulse electric current titanium diboride nanoparticles distributed in copper matrix move, agglomerate and form a interpenetrating phase composite with a fine-grained skeleton. Increase of SPS temperatures and holding times promotes the densification of sintered compacts due to local melting of copper matrix.

For the first time, a powder of refractory body-centered cubic (bcc) HfTaTiNbZr-based high-entropy alloy (RHEA) was prepared by short-term (90 min) high-energy ball milling (HEBM) followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1300 °C for 10 min and the resultant bulk material was characterized by XRD and SEM/EDX. The material showed ultra-high Vickers hardness (10.7 GPa) and a density of 9.87 ± 0.18 g/cm³ (98.7%). Our alloy was found to consist of HfZrTiTaNb-based solid solution with bcc structure as a main phase, a hexagonal closest packed (hcp) Hf/Zr-based solid solution, and Me2Fe phases (Me = Hf, Zr) as minor admixtures. Principal elements of the HEA phase were uniformly distributed over the bulk of HfTaTiNbZr-based alloy. Similar alloys synthesized without milling or in the case of low-energy ball milling (LEBM, 10 h) consisted of a bcc HEA and a Hf/Zr-rich hcp solid solution; in this case, the Vickers hardness of such alloys was found to have a value of 6.4 GPa and 5.8 GPa, respectively.

SiAlON-cubic boron nitride (cBN) composite was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) using -SiAlON and cBN powders as starting materials, and the effect of holding time on densification, phase transformation and hardness of the composite was investigated. The SiAlON-cBN composite containing 20 vol% cBN sintered at 1650oC for 60s was densified to >97% of theoretical density. cBN phase transformed to hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) in the SiAlON-cBN composite with increasing holding time at 1650oC. Vickers hardness of the SiAlON-20vol%cBN composite sintered at 1650oC for 60-300s was 17.7GPa, and the hardness decreased with increasing holding time.

The fabrication of a composite material based on magnesium (Mg) and tricalcium phosphate is reported in this work. Rods of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) were processed and consolidated together with pure Mg powder through spark plasma sintering (SPS). The microstructure at the interface, the chemical composition and transformation of the components and the microhardness were analysed. The microstructure of the composite shows two zones with well-defined and continuous interface between them: a ceramic zone composed by β-TCP filled with Mg and the metallic zone constituted by Mg and Mg rich eutectic. Vickers hardness shows the excellent mechanical interaction between the two zones.
