Abstract:

Boron carbide is one of the hardest materials. The combustion method was used to synthesize B4C-TiB2 nanocomposite powder in a B2O3-Mg-TiO2-C system. An experimental study of the formation of B4C–TiB2 nanoparticles was conducted in the thermal explosion mode. A mixture of B2O3:TiO2:Mg:C at a molecular ratio of 3:1:12:1 was chosen to obtain the B4C–TiB2. This powder mixture was milled for different times. The combustion reaction of powders milled for up to 12 h was done in an inert atmosphere at 900°C. The synthesized powders were characterized by X-Ray diffraction, Scanning and Transmission Electeron Microscopies (SEM and TEM). It was demonstrated that mechanical activation is a useful method for obtaining B4C and TiB2 powders simultaneously; without milling, the B4C composition did not form. B4C formed after 3 h of milling of the reactants. Crystallite size of products obtained from reactant powders milled for 6 and 12 hour was less than 100 nanometer.

PREPARATION OF NANO-STRUCTURAL Al2O3-TiB2 IN-SITU COMPOSITE USING MECHANICALLY ACTIVATED COMBUSTION SYNTHESIS FOLLOWED BYINTENSIVE MILLING

Abstract: Nano-structural synthesized materials can be fabricated utilizing intensive milling after combustion synthesis. The Al2O3-TiB2 ceramic composite has been synthesized by aluminothermic reactions between Al, Ti (TiO2), and B (B2O3 or H3BO3). Boric acid (H3BO3) is less expensive than boron oxide, and after being dehydrated at 200°C, boron oxide will be obtained. In this study, Al, TiO2, ...

Synthesis and liquid phase sintering of TiN/TiB2/Fe–Cr–Ni nanocomposite powder

Nanostructured TiN/TiB2/Fe–Cr–Ni composite powder has been prepared via high energy ball milling. Ti and BN powders are reacted to form uniform mixture of TiN and TiB2 within 2 h of milling by a mechanically activated self-sustaining reaction (MSR). The crystallite sizes of TiN nd TiB2 are about 7 and 16 nm, respectively, after 32 h of milling. Through liquid phase sintering and optimizing the ...
