An Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was prepared with Fe-Fe2O3-Al2O3 powder by a hot press sintering method. The mass ratio was 6:1:2, sintering pressure was 30 MPa, and holding time was 120 min. The raw materials for the powder particles were respectively 1 µm (Fe), 0.5 µm (Fe2O3), and 1 µm (Al2O3) in diameter. The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was studied. The results showed that Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was formed by in situ reaction at 1300 °C–1500 °C. With the increased sintering temperature, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe/FeAl2O4 composite showed a change law that initially became better and then became worse. The best microstructure and optimal mechanical properties were obtained at 1400 °C. At this temperature, the grain size of Fe and FeAl2O4 phases in Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was uniform, the relative density was 96.7%, and the Vickers hardness and bending strength were 1.88 GPa and 280.0 MPa, respectively. The wettability between Fe and FeAl2O4 was enhanced with increased sintering temperature. And then the densification process was accelerated. Finally, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe/FeAl2O4 composite were improved.

SiC/SiC composites were fabricated by hot pressing (HP) via liquid phase sintering (LPS) using carbon coated 2D woven Tyranno SA fabrics as reinforcement. Both nano-SiC and micro-SiC powders with sintering additives were used for matrix. The effects of preparation conditions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were characterized. Highly densified composite was obtained at 1780°C under 20MPa with nano-SiC particles. The strength and elastic modulus of the composite were enhanced. When micro-SiC powder was used, higher strength revealed for the composite sintered at 1780°C under 15MPa, although it was not densified enough. Higher sintering temperature (1800°C) is beneficial for the densification of the composite, but is not obvious for the improvement of mechanical properties.
