In this study, B4C-TiB2 ceramic composites were manufactured by hot pressing method. The raw materials for the in-situ synthesis of TiB2 were TiO2 and TiC. After being sintered at 1900°C for 60min under a pressure of 30MPa, compact composites samples with a TiB2 volume fraction range from 0 to 11.05% were prepared. The relative density, fracture toughness and flexural strength of different sample were tested. Microstructures on the fracture surface were studied by SEM. The result shows that B4C-TiB2 ceramic composites sintered from B4C-TiC had a better mechanical property than the one sintered from B4C-TiO2. When the content of TiB2 (reacted from TiC) was 11.05vol.%, the strength and toughness of B4C-TiB2 ceramics can reach 598MPa and 6.45MPa·m1/2. The toughening mechanisms of B4C-TiB2 composites include micro-crack toughening and energy consumption by the pulling out process of second phase.

We demonstrate here in situ synthesis of bulk yield W18O49@carbon coaxial nanocables based on an easily controlled chemical vapor deposition process at relatively low temperature (760 °C) using metallic tungsten powder and ethylene (C2H4) as the raw materials. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicate that the resultant nanostructures are composed of single-crystalline W18O49 nanowires, coaxially covered with amorphous carbon walls. A vapor–solid (VS) mechanism is proposed to interpret the formation of the nanocables. The effect of carbon sources on the nanocable growth was investigated. The results revealed that the introduction of carbon species not only causes the production of W18O49@C nanocable structures, but also obviously modulates growth behaviors and core/shell diameter ratio of the nanocables. The obtained nanocables may find great applications in catalyst systems and optical and electronic nanodevices because of their enhanced surface properties, as well as in high chemical stability.

The emphasis of this study was in-situ synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on Mg matrix at 480°C. The process involves homogeneous deposition of Co catalyst onto Mg by deposition-precipitation route with low Co content (1.0 wt.%) and in situ synthesis of CNTs by chemical vapor deposition. The morphologies and microstructure of the as-obtained CNTs/Mg composite powders was characterized by SEM, TEM, Raman spectrum, and XRD. The results indicated that CNTs were well graphitized and uniformly distributed on the surface of Mg powders, which would be beneficial to the mechanical property of CNTs/Mg composites.

Al2O3/Ti2AlC composites were synthesized by high energy milling and hot-pressing at 1200°C in a vacuum furnace with a pressure of 4.8×10-2 Pa, using Ti, Al and C powder as raw materials. The effect of sintering temperature on the reactions, phase composition and microstructure of the synthesized products were investigated. The results show that the TiC and TiAl intermetallics composite powders were synthesized during the milling process. After the hot pressing, Ti2AlC phase was formed by the reaction between TiC and TiAl. A small amount of Al2O3 was also produced because of the oxidation of Al in the hot press process, which formed Al2O3/Ti2AlC composite together with the Ti2AlC at 1200°C. The fine grained Al2O3 particles disperse within Ti2AlC uniformly, which play a important role to strengthen Ti2AlC matrix, resulting in the increase of flexural strength and fracture toughness from 250 to 275.4MPa, 9.8 to 10.5MPa•m1/2, respectively.
