Y-α-sialons (Y0.333Si10Al2ON15) were prepared by hot pressing using 5 wt.% BaAl2Si2O8 as an additive. The results showed that barium aluminosilicate not only.served as a liquid-phase sintering aid to promote densification, but also facilitated the.development of elongated α-sialon grains. The obtained self-toughened α-sialon was.both hard and tough. The Vickers hardness, flexural strength, and fracture toughness.are 18.9 GPa, 802 MPa, and 6.0 Mpam1/2, respectively. Post heat treatment could.promote the growth of elongated α-sialon grains, hence further increasing its.toughness.

The effect of the heat treatment on the fracture toughness and flexural strength of the silicon carbide – silicon nitride composites prepared by liquid-phase-sintering was investigated. The results were compared to those obtained for a reference silicon carbide material, prepared by the same fabrication route. The fracture toughness increased from 3.19 to 5.15 MPa.m1/2 due to the toughening mechanisms (crack deflection, mechanical interlocking, crack branching) occurring in the heat treated materials during the crack propagation. However, the flexural strength decreased after the heat treatment of the experimental materials. The strength of the investigated materials was degraded by the presence of processing flaws mainly in the form of pores, clusters of pores, and SiC agglomerates.

Magnesia partially stabilised zirconia (Mg-PSZ) ceramics are renowned for their excellent nechanical properties. These are effected by processing conditions and purity of starting materials. It has been previously shown that small additions of strontia (SrO) have the effect of removing the major contaminant, silica (SiO2).The mechanism by which this occurs is not fully understood but the strontia appears to form a very mobile liquid phase at the grain boundaries. As the sintering reaches the final stages the liquid phase is expelled to the surface of the ceramic. A series of experiments, to examine the behaviour of the liquid grain boundary phase, were designed to produce compositional gradients across the ceramic bodies. To achieve this, changes in both silica content and furnace atmosphere were implemented. Analytical electron microscope techniques were used to monitor the form and composition of the phases developed. This paper describes the results of our investigation and the presentation will discuss the work with reference to liquid phase sintering of ceramics in general.

Magnetization reversal in sintered Fe-Nd-B, a complex, multiphase material, occurs by nucleation and growth of reverse domains making the isolation of the ferromagnetic Fe14Nd2B grains by other nonmagnetic phases crucial. The magnets used in this study were slightly rich in Nd (in comparison to Fe14Nd2B) to promote the formation of Nd-oxides at multigrain junctions and incorporated Dy80Al20 as a liquid phase sintering addition. Dy has been shown to increase the domain wall energy thus making nucleation more difficult while Al is thought to improve the wettability of the Nd-oxide phases.Bulk polished samples were examined in a JEOL 35CF scanning electron microscope (SEM) operated at 30keV equipped with a Be window energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) detector in order to determine the phase distribution.
