Dense, high-entropy carbide cobalt-bonded hardmetals with two different compositions, namely (Hf-Ta-Ti-Nb-V)C-19.2 vol% Co and (Ta-Ti-Nb-V-W)C-19.2 vol% Co, were successfully manufactured by gas pressure sintering (SinterHIP) at 1400 °C and 100 bar Ar pressure. The microstructure of these hardmetals consists of a rigid skeletal carbide phase embedded in a tough Co binder phase. EDS mappings showed that the high-entropy carbide phase did not decompose and that a typical hardmetal microstructure was realized. Only in the case of the (Hf-Ta-Ti-Nb-V)C-Co hardmetal was some undissolved TaC and HfO2, as well as some clustered vanadium titanium carbide phase, found, resulting in a split-up of the HEC phase into two very similar HEC phases. This resulted in a reduced hardness to fracture toughness ratio for this composition. Measurements of magnetic saturation polarization showed values between 57.5% and 70% of theoretical magnetic saturation polarization, indicating marginal dissolution of the carbide-forming metal elements in the binder phase. The hardness value HV10 for (Hf-Ta-Ti-Nb-V)C-19.2 vol% Co was 1203 HV10 and 1432 HV10 for (Ta-Ti-Nb-V-W)C-19.2 vol% Co.

- SiAlON ceramics were produced from different starting Si3N4 powders including β-Si3N4 and α-Si3N4 powders and mixtures of these powders. Gas pressure sintering was used for sintering. After sintering, resultant fracture toughness values were correlated with microstructure and starting powders. By optimizing chemistry and process parameters; - SiAlON ceramics with reasonable fracture toughness can be produced from rather coarse β-Si3N4 powder. This could improve the economic viability of SiAlON ceramics since -Si3N4 powders are less costly.

Abstract Si3N4-based ceramic (Si3N4-5wt%Y2O3-3wt%MgO) was obtained from carbothermal-reduction-derived powder combined with gas pressure sintering. The phase, microstructure, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of Si3N4 ceramics were comprehensively analyzed. Dense Si3N4 ceramic with uniform grain size was obtained after sintering at 1900°C for 7 h under a N2 pressure of 1.2 MPa. The secondary phase consisted of Y4Si2O7N2 and Y2Si3O3N4 was found to gather around triangular grain boundaries. The thermal conductivity, flexural strength, hardness and fracture toughness of the Si3N4 ceramics were 95.7 W·m-1·k-1, 715 MPa, 17.2 GPa and 7.2 MPa·m1/2, respectively. The results were compared with product derived from commercial powder, the improvement of thermal conductivity (~8.3%) and fracture toughness (~4.3%) demonstrating the superiority of Si3N4 ceramics prepared from carbothermal-reduction-derived powder.

Si3N4-Fe3Si composites were prepared using Fe-Si3N4 as the source of Fe3Si by gas-pressure sintering. By adding different amounts of Fe-Si3N4 into the starting powders, Si3N4-Fe3Si composites with various Fe3Si phase contents were obtained. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. With the increase of Fe-Si3N4 contents, the content and particle size of Fe3Si both increased. When more than 60 wt. % Fe-Si3N4 were added, the abnormal growth of Fe3Si particles occurred and oversized Fe3Si particles appeared, leading to non-uniform microstructures and worse mechanical properties of the composites. It has been found that Fe3Si particles could toughen the composites through particle pull-out, interface debonding, crack deflection, and particle bridging. Uniform microstructure and improved mechanical properties (flexural strength of 354 MPa and fracture toughness of 8.4 MPa·m1/2) can be achieved for FSN40.

Sintered reaction bonded silicon nitride with aligned whisker seeds was prepared by tape casting silicon slurry with 5 wt% b-Si3N4 whisker seeds followed by nitridation and sintering. Three different sintering additives were used for the samples; 7 wt% Y2O3, 6 wt% Y2O3 + 1 wt% Al2O3 and 5 wt% Y2O3 + 2 wt% Al2O3. The sample with 5 wt% Y2O3 + 2 wt% Al2O3 showed the fastest a to b phase transformation after nitridation and the highest fracture toughness and flexural strength after gas pressure sintering among the samples. It also had finer microstructure than the other samples after sintering at 2248 K and at 2273 K. The finer microstructure was related to the faster phase transformation after nitridation, which resulted in the higher flexural strength.

Sintering Method

In this work, a composite composed of [Formula: see text]-Sialon (Z[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]4) and ZrN has been fabricated by a two-step gas-pressure sintering method, and the effects of ZrN content and applied pressure on the phase behavior, densification and mechanical properties have been investigated. The phase behaviors were mainly dependent on the ZrN content and the applied pressure. The composites composed of [Formula: see text]-Sialon (Z[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]4), ZrN, 15R-Sialon (0.4 MPa) and 12H-Sialon (0.7 MPa) as major phases, with different intermediate phases depending on the ZrN content. It is revealed that with the two-step sintering technique, a higher applied gas pressure has a positive effect on mass loss, and significantly improved the mechanical properties. The addition of ZrN particles greatly helped the densification behavior, reduced the mass loss, and increased fracture toughness of the composites, but decreased hardness due to formation of intermediate phases and grain coarsening. The addition of ZrN increased the fracture toughness due to the toughening mechanisms of crack branching, crack deflection and crack bridging.
