In this study, we made an attempt to synthesize doped bioactive hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramic powder using a simple Chemical method and studied its physical and mechanical properties. Different quantities (2wt% and 5 wt%) of Magnesium chloride Hexahydrate , Zinc oxide, Titanium oxide were incorporated as dopants into Hap at the time of synthesis. The synthesized powder samples were analyzed for ...

The effect of sintering process parameters on the properties of 3 mol% yttria partially stability zirconia (3Y-PSZ) ceramics has been investigated. The relative density of the sintered pellet rapidly increases from 70.5 to 93.6 % with rose temperature from 1473 to 1573 K. In addition, the relative density only slightly increases from 94.9 to 96.6 %, when rose sintered temperature from 1573 to 1...

In this paper, synthesised nanometre sized hydroxyapatite (nano-HAP) powders composed of spherical 30 ± 5 nm part icles were compacted and sintered at temperatures ranging from 650 to 1250°C to form ceramics of varying porosity and mechanical strength. The size, crystalline structure and morphology of both the synthesised nano-HAP particle powders and the compacted and sintered ceramics were in...

Implementation of an accurate sintering model into a finite element simulation program can significantly improve Powder Metallurgy (P/M) part properties and processing efficiency. The densification and creep behavior of stainless steel powders during free sintering has been simulated and the material model has been implemented by linking user subroutines to the ABAQUS finite element code. This ...

Recent accreditation of titanium powder products for commercial aircraft applications marks a milestone in titanium powder metallurgy. Currently, powder metallurgical titanium production primarily relies on vacuum sintering. This work reported on the feasibility of powder sintering in a non-vacuum furnace and the tensile properties of the as-sintered Ti. Specifically, we investigated atmospheri...

In this work, a new way to fabricate nanoporous TiO2 photoanode by flash light is demonstrated. TiO2 nanoparticles are sintered on FTO glass by flash light irradiation at room temperature in ambient condition, which is dramatically simple, ultrahigh speed and one-shot large area fabrication process compared to a conventional high temperature (120 °C) thermal sintering process. The effect of the...

Mixtures of BaCO3, ZnO and TiO2 powders, with molar ratio of 1:2:4, were mechanically activated for 20, 40 and minutes in a planetary ball mill. The resulting powders were compacted into pellets and isothermally sintered at 1250 °C for 2h with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. X-ray diffraction analysis of obtained powders and sintered samples was performed in order to investigate changes of the pha...

Metallic foams and porous materials can be produced by various methods. Among the methods that produce metallic materials, powder metallurgy is a promising method. This study investigates production of stainless steel space holder method in metallurgy. A novel i.e. glycine binder consisting polymethylmethacrylate stearic acid are used. Different amounts added to mixture stainless-steel binder. ...

At the Power Systems Development Facility (PSDF), a variety of filter elements and failsafes are being tested for the cleanup of coal-generated syngas from the Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR) Transport Gasifier. Through 2007, the maximum accumulated syngas exposure for each element type was: 9,959 hours for iron aluminide sintered metal powder elements; 8,249 hours for HR-160 sintered metal fiber ...
