Pressureless sintering of ZrC with variable stoichiometry

PRESSURELESS SINTERING OF B4C-NANOTiB2 NANOCOMPOSITE BY ADDITION OF Fe AND Ni AS SINTERING AIDS

B4C and its composites with TiB2 as second phase continues to be extensively used as the preferred ceramic material in military applications as armor systems for absorbing and dissipating kinetic energy from high velocity projectiles. It also exhibits a high melting point (2427 °C), and high neutron absorption cross section. Pressureless sintering of the B 4C-nanoTiB2 nanocomposite using small ...

Fabrication and inspection of C/Cf-ZrB2-ZrC-SiC and C/Cf-ZrB2-SiC composite parts resistant to ablation by pressureless sintering method

In this research, the aim is to achieve strong and ablation-resistant composite parts C / Cf-ZrB2-ZrC-SiC and C / Cf-ZrB2-SiC by non-pressure sintering method. C / Cf-ZrB2-SiC samples were prepared using synthesized ZrB2 and SiC powders between layers of resin-impregnated carbon fabric. After pressing with pressure 5 times at 1600 وC and heat treatment for 2 hours in a controlled atmosphere fur...

Order-disorder transformations in Sm–Co and Sm–Co–ZrC systems with 2-17 stoichiometry

Processing, Mechanical and Optical Properties of Additive-Free ZrC Ceramics Prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering

In the present study, nearly fully dense monolithic ZrC samples are produced and broadly characterized from microstructural, mechanical and optical points of view. Specifically, 98% dense products are obtained by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) after 20 min dwell time at 1850 °C starting from powders preliminarily prepared by Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) followed by 20 min bal...
