Titanium aluminide (TiAl) is one of the most promising materials for aerospace applications. It is a suitable replacement for nickel-based superalloys predominantly used in these applications. Titanium aluminide with superior processability is the main task in carrying out this work. A less brittle TiAl alloy was fabricated using spark plasma sintering by adding the nominal composition (2.5, 5, and 7.5 wt.%) of manganese (Mn) to Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb. The samples were sintered at 1150 °C using spark plasma sintering (SPS), which helped produce highly dense models with fine grain sizes at the high heating rate (here, 100 °C per minute). The effects produced by Mn additions on the densification, mechanical properties (yield strength, hardness, and % elongation), and microstructure of the Ti aluminide alloys are studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used to explore the sintered samples’ microstructures. The alloyed materials are entirely dissolved in the gamma matrix due to the manganese approaching its melting point. XRD and SEM analysis confirmed the new intermetallic related to Mn neither with titanium nor aluminum. The enhancement of % elongation at break is evident for the little improvement in the ductility of TiAl by the addition of Mn. The samples’ tensile fracture nature is also evidence for enhancement in the alloy’s % elongation.

In the present work, the strengthen mechanism of Ti-Si-N ternary alloys prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) was investigated. Ti, Si and TiN substrate powders were prepared in order to obtain nominal composition of Ti-0.35Si-1TiN and Ti-0.7Si-1TiN (wt %). Homogenization was performed before extrusion. Microstructure and phase identification were analyzed by Optical Microscope (OM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In order to evaluate the mechanical properties of extruded specimens, micro hardness test and tensile test were carried out. The XRD results show that no Si and TiN particles are remained after SPS and no any reaction caused of intermetallic compound during heat treatment and extrusion processes. It is found that the abnormal phase with high N-content was observed in matrix phase. It is also obvious that increasing Si from 0.35Si to 0.7Si (wt %) can increase yield stress and ultimate tensile stress from 1006±15 to 1092±5 MPa and 1089±10 to 1170±10 MPa, respectively. Hence, the strengthening mechanism by addition Si content into Ti-1TiN (wt %) is only solid solution mechanism.

High strength transparent Y2O3 ceramics were fabricated from commercial powders using spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique by optimizing the heating rate. The heating rate significantly influenced the microstructures and the optical/mechanical properties of the Y2O3 ceramics. Grain growth was limited accordingly with increasing the heating rate. The ball milling process of the commercial Y2O3 powders is likely to further enhance the sinterability during the SPS processing. The dense Y2O3 ceramics, which were sintered by SPS with 100 °C/min, showed good transmittance range from visible to near infrared (IR). For a high heating rate of 100 °C/min, the in-line transmittance at a visible wavelength of 700 nm was 66%, whereas for a slow heating rate of 10 °C/min, it reduced to 46%. The hardness Hv tends to increase with increasing the heating rate and rigorously followed the Hall–Petch relationship; that is, it is enhanced with a reduction of the grain size. The toughness KIC, on the other hand, is less sensitive to both the heating rate and the grain size, and takes a similar value. This research highlighted that the high heating rate SPS processing can fabricate fully dense fine-grained Y2O3 ceramics with the excellent optical and mechanical properties.

Background: The development of new bioimplants with enhanced mechanical and biomedical properties have great impetus for researchers in the field of biomaterials. Metallic materials such as stainless steel 316L (SS316L), applied for bioimplants are compatible to the human osteoblast cells and bear good toughness. However, they suffer by corrosion and their elastic moduli are very high than the application where they need to be used. On the other hand, ceramics such as hydroxyapatite (HAP), is biocompatible as well as bioactive material and helps in bone grafting during the course of bone recovery, it has the inherent brittle nature and low fracture toughness. Therefore, to overcome these issues, a hybrid combination of HAP, SS316L and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been synthesized and characterized in the present investigation. Methods: CNTs were acid treated to functionalize their surface and cleaned prior their addition to the composites. The mixing of nano-hydroxyapatite (HAPn), SS316L and CNTs was carried out by nitrogen gas purging followed by the ball milling to insure the homogeneous mixing of the powders. In three compositions, monolithic HAPn, nanocomposites of CNTs reinforced HAPn, and hybrid nanocomposites of CNTs and SS316L reinforced HAPn has been fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. Results: SEM analysis of SPS samples showed enhanced sintering of HAP-CNT nanocomposites, which also showed significant sintering behavior when combined with SS316L. Good densification was achieved in the nanocomposites. No phase change was observed for HAP at relatively higher sintering temperatures (1100°C) of SPS and tricalcium phosphate phase was not detected by XRD analysis. This represents the characteristic advantage with enhanced sintering behavior by SPS technique. Fracture toughness was found to increase with the addition of CNTs and SS316L in HAPn, while hardness initially enhanced with the addition of nonreinforcement (CNTs) in HAPn and then decrease for HAPn-CNT-SS316L hybrid nanocomposites due to presence of SS316L. Conclusion: A homogeneous distribution of CNTs and SPS technique resulted in the improved mechanical properties for HAPn-CNT-SS316L hybrid nanocomposites than other composites and suggested their application as bioimplant materials.
