چکیده
In the present work, the processing and characterization of electroconductive Alumina-TiC-Ni nanocomposites obtained by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) are described. These nanocomposites are singular due to the excellent mechanical properties they present (particular regarding Vickers hardness, 25.6 ± 0.7 GPa), as well as their extremely good wear behaviour, studied under “ball-on-disk” dry sliding conditions. The wear rate obtained was 25 times (almost 1.5 orders of magnitude) smaller than the value obtained for a monolithic alumina sintered under the same

Sliding wear behaviour of alumina/nickel nanocomposites processed by a conventional sintering route
The wear resistance of Al2O3/2.5 vol.% Ni nanocomposites sintered by a conventional route was studied under ball-on-disk dry sliding conditions and compared with the same nanocomposites but consolidated by spark plasma sintering, together with alumina obtained by the same technique and by hot pressing. The results showed an improvement of about 0.5, 1 and 2 orders of magnitude, respectively. Th...

Solid state joining of powder metallurgy (P/M) processed and sintered by spark plasma sintering through friction stir welding (FSW) was studied. The nanocomposites were prepared via mechanical milling followed by spark plasma sintering. The microstructural and mechanical of the joints were evaluated as a function of the different processing parameters such as rotating and advancing speeds of th...

متن کاملCharacterization and mechanical testing of alumina-based nanocomposites reinforced with niobium and/or carbon nanotubes fabricated by spark plasma sintering
Alumina-based nanocomposites reinforced with niobium and/or carbon nanotubes (CNT) were fabricated by advanced powder processing techniques and consolidated by spark plasma sintering. Raman spectroscopy revealed that single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) begin to break down at sintering temperatures >1150 C. Nuclear magnetic resonance showed that, although thermodynamically unlikely, no Al4C3 ...
متن کاملCharacterization of In-Situ Cu–TiH2–C and Cu–Ti–C Nanocomposites Produced by Mechanical Milling and Spark Plasma Sintering
This study focuses on the fabrication and microstructural investigation of Cu–TiH2–C and Cu–Ti–C nanocomposites with different volume fractions (10% and 20%) of TiC. Two mixtures of powders were ball milled for 10 h, consequently consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 900 and 1000 ◦C producing bulk materials with relative densities of 95–97%. The evolution process of TiC formation duri...
