The aim of this work was to analyze the influence of mechanical activation on the MgCO3-TiO2 system. Mixtures of MgCO3-TiO2 were mechanically activated for 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes in a planetary ball mill and after that sintered at 1100?C for 1h. XRD analyses were performed in order to give information about the phase composition and to determine a variety of microstructure parameters using Scherrer's method. Also, the effect of tribophysical activation and sintering process on microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Electrical measurements were performed in order to determine electrical properties of sintered samples. Our conclusions are that the sample activated for 120 min showed the best electrical properties ( ? r=23.86, Q=233, ?=0.38) and exhibited the best sinterability.

In this article the influence of mechanical activation on sintering process of bariumstrontium-titanate ceramics has been investigated. Both non-activated and mixtures treated in a planetary ball mill for 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 120 minutes were sintered at 1100-1400?C for 2 hours in presence of air atmosphere. The influence of mechanical activation on phase composition and crystal structure has been analyzed by XRD, while the effect of activation and sintering process on microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. It has been established that temperature of 1100?C was too low to induce final sintering stage for this system. Electrical measurements have been conducted for the densest ceramics sintered at 1400?C for 2 hours.

In this article the influence of mechanical activation on sintering process of magnesium-titanate and barium-zinc-titanate ceramics has been investigated. Both nonactivated and mixtures treated in planetary ball mill for 80 minutes were sintered at 1100?C and 1300?C. The influence of mechanical activation on phase composition and crystal structure has been analyzed by XRD, while the effect of activation and sintering process on microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. It has been established that temperature of 1100?C was to low to induce final sintering stage for both systems. Moreover, we concluded that barium-zinc-titanate ceramics exhibited better sinterability than magnesium-titanate ceramics.

Alloys based on Cu/Cr and Cu/Cr/W attract the attention due to their presence in different applications that require higher electrical properties which are combined with good mechanical properties. In order to synthesis the material based on Cu/Cr and Cu/Cr/W, mechanical alloying technique was used. Four mixtures, X1 (99%CuCr), X2 (97%CuCr), X3 (94%Cu1%CrW), X4 (92%Cu3%CrW – weight percent), were prepared using a vario planetary ball mill Pulverisette 4 made by Fritsch. The mixtures obtained after 10 hours were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the presence of chromium and tungsten influence the morphology and the particles tend to be flat. Sinter ability and microhardness are influenced by the chemical composition of the samples.

The influence of tribophysical activation on Zn2TiO4 synthesis along with the changes in powders during tribophysical treatment was observed. Mixtures of ZnO and TiO2 powders were mechanically activated using a high-energy ball mill at different time intervals from 0 to 300 minutes. XRD was performed in order to obtain information about phase composition variations. Microstructure parameters were revealed from an approximation method. Particle size distribution along with scanning electron microscopy gave very useful information about powder morphology.

The influence of the light burning temperature on the sintering property of nature dolomite has been investigated by two-step sintering process in the temperature range 1500 °C to 1600 °C. The resulting bulk densities and apparent porosities of the sintered dolomite samples were examined, and analyzing the sintered dolomite by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were performed. The results showed light burned at 850 °C for 3 h, the main phases of the dolomite with 3-5 grain size were MgO, CaO and little CaCO3, and then fired at 1600 °C,the density of sintering dolomite reached to 3.38 g/cm3, the apparent property was 1.2 %, the size of MgO grain up to 3.75 μm . However when dolomite light burned at 1050 °C for 3 h, the main phases were MgO and CaO, and then fired at 1600 °C,the density of sintering dolomite only was 3.30 g/cm3, the apparent property was 2.3 %, the size of MgO only was 3.05 μm .

The interaction between a solid inert metal Ir and an active liquid metal Ga during mechanical activation in a high-energy planetary mill is studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with high-resolution energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The effect of mechanical activation on the formation of GaxIry intermetallic compounds and GaxIry/Ir composites and their solubility in acids was investigated. The subsequent extraction of Ga from intermetallic compounds and composites in the mixture of concentrated acids [Formula: see text] makes it possible to produce nanoscale Ir.

The Cu20W70Cr10 composites were fabricated by two methods which are the conventional powder metallurgy, and mechanical alloying to prepare WCr compound powders, followed by sintering and infiltration. The erosion behavior of CuWCr composites under breakdown was investigated. The surfaces of the composites before and after erosion and the mechanism of arc erosion were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the CuWCr composites prepared by mechanical alloying have superfine microstructure, uniform composition and high density, thus result in good characteristics of diffusing arcs and arc eroding endurance. Arc erosion zones are dispersive and uniform on the surfaces with some flat eroding pits. The Cu20W70Cr10 composites have excellent electrical properties such as high breakdown voltage, low chopping current and long arc life.

The effect of different load, revolving speed ,content of Ti(C,N) and sintering process on the friction coefficient and wear rate of Ti(C,N)/Fe composites was investigated systemically. Besides, the wear morphology of Ti(C,N)/Fe composites were researched with an environment scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and the phase composition were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD).The research shows that the wear mechanism of Ti(C,N)/Fe composites are abrasive wear and adhesive wear.

In atmospheric environments, Al2O3 ceramics have good oxidation resistance in water, acid, and other solutions and suitable corrosion medium resistance. Al2O3 ceramics is one of the most widely used engineering ceramics. In this paper, Al2O3/Al cermet matrix composites were prepared by mixing a series of powders with aluminum and alumina powders as raw materials. The interface of Al2O3/Al cermet was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The densification process of Al2O3/Al cermet was then explored from the aspects of formulation, molding pressure, holding time, and sintering process. After mixing and dry pressing, 50 wt% Al and 50 wt% Al2O3 were appropriate for sintering. Following sintering and measuring density, density was improved under 20 MPa with a 20-minute holding time. Through a comparison of the sintering process, the interface structure was observed via scanning electron microscopy, which found that secondary sintering is conducive to improving the density of Al2O3/Al cermet.
