An Effect of Addition of NiO Powder on Pore Formation in Lotus-Type Porous Nickel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lotus-type porous nickel with cylindrical pores was fabricated by unidirectional solidification in a mixture gas of hydrogen and argon. The pore size is significantly affected by the addition of NiO powder. The pore size decreases and the number density of the pores increases by the addition of NiO. It is concluded that NiO powder can serve as nucleation sites for the pore formation in the process of the solidification. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.MRA2008150]

The oxidation behavior of two types of inhomogeneous nickel was investigated in air at 1273 K for a total oxidation time of 100 h. The two types were porous sintered-nickel and microstructurally inhomogeneous cast-nickel. The porous-nickel samples were fabricated by compacting Ni powder followed by sintering in vacuum at 1473 K for 2 h. The oxidation kinetics of the samples was determined gravi...

متن کاملSynthesis of Highly Porous Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia by Tape-Casting Methods
Porous ceramics of Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) were prepared by tape-casting methods using both pyrolyzable pore formers and NiO followed by acid leaching. The porosity of YSZ wafers increased in a regular manner with the mass of graphite or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to between 60% and 75% porosity. SEM indicated that the shape of the pores in the final ceramic was related to the shape of t...
