ABSTRACTThe Bi2Te3-Sb2Te3 compounds with the composition of useful thermoelectric cooling materials were prepared by mechanical alloying-pulse discharge sintering process. Effects of the process on the Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity were investigated. Temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient was also observed in the temperature range 80 - 325 K.The figure of merit, Z, was found to be about 4.0 × 10−1K−1 at room temperature in the 25%Bi2Te3-75%Sb2Te3 composition sintered at 618K using grain refined mechanically alloyed powders which had the size of under 32 μm. The value of Z was remarkably improved with a decrease of the thermal conductivity shown in the fine grain compacts fabricated by mechanical alloying-pulse discharge sintering process.

The Fe3Al/Al2O3 composites were fabricated by pressureless sintering process. The Fe3Al intermetallics compounds powders were fabricated by mechanical alloying and heat treatment, then the Fe3Al powders and Al2O3 powders were mixed and the Fe3Al/Al2O3 composite powders were prepared, so the Fe3Al/Al2O3 composites were fabricated by sintering process at 1700oC for 2h. The phase composition and microstructure of Fe3Al intermetallics compounds powders produced by mechanical alloying and heat treatment were investigated. The phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe3Al/Al2O3 composites sintered bulks were investigated. The XRD patterns results showed that there existed Fe3Al phase and Al2O3 phase in the sintered composites. The Fe3Al/Al2O3 composites sintered bulks exhibited the homogenous and compact microstructure, the Fe3Al particles were homogenously distributed in the Al2O3 matrix, the mean particles size of Fe3Al intermetallics was about 3-5μm. The Fe3Al/Al2O3 composites exhibited more homogenous and compact microstructure with the increase of Fe3Al content in the Al2O3 matrix. The density and relative density of the Fe3Al/Al2O3 composites increased gradually with the increase of Fe3Al content. The fracture strength and fracture toughness of the Fe3Al/Al2O3 composites increased gradually with the increase of Fe3Al content. The elastic modulus and hardness (HRA) of the Fe3Al/Al2O3 composites decreased gradually with the increase of Fe3Al content.

The mechanical properties and microstructure of W-6Ni-4Co alloy through solid phase sintering and two-step sintering process were investigated. The results demonstrated that the particle sizes of W-6Ni-4Co alloy milled powders increased firstly and decreased later during a mechanical alloying process. The shape of alloy milled powders affected that of grains in alloy by solid phase sintering. The shape of W-rich particles in the alloys changed from stripes to network, to polygonal and to subsphaeroidal finally during two-step sintering process. The mechanical properties could be attributed to the densification and microstructure of alloys, and increased during two-step sintering with short dwelling time.

Mechanical alloying (MA) and subsequent solid sintering process was used to prepare the Pr-containing pseudobinary Tb0.7Pr0.3Fe1.80alloys. The structural and magnetoelastic properties were in comparative investigated by means of x-ray diffraction and a standard strain technique for sinter and composite samples. The high Pr-content (Tb,Pr)Fe2Laves phase with MgCu2-type structure for the composition Tb0.7Pr0.3Fe1.80 were synthesized by MA plus annealing at 500 °C.

An attempt to prepare Fe2VAl deposited film and the thermoelectric module using RF sputtering has been made. Sputtering target has been prepared using mechanical alloying of metallic powders and the subsequent pulse current sintering process. The obtained deposited film has had a lack of aluminum content compared to the composition of the starting material. Controlling of aluminum content for the preparation of Fe2VAl sputtering target has made it possible to obtain the desired material composition. The film has had the experimental thermoelectric force being similar to the one estimated from the measured thermoelectric data of the materials. Fe2VAl thermoelectric module of eight pairs with a film thickness of 4 μm has had an electric force of 31mV and 5.6μW.
