Microstructure and thermomechanical characteristics of spark plasma sintered TiC ceramics doped with nano-sized WC

Study on sintering properties of aluminum oxide nano-powder for electronics packaging

“…Generally, low sintering temperature and short holding time can be preferred for sintering to reduce the requirements and increase the productivity of the sintering facility. High reliability is fundamental for electronic packaging materials [16][17][18][19][20] . This paper's sintering process (Figure 5) is based on its matched packaging chips.…”

“…It is inevitable to control the particle agglomeration when bidding for higher stoichiometry ratio, and this acts an impedance on achieving desired mechanical properties [1,44]. Namini et al [13] reported that the composite hardness depends on various phenomenon like stoichiometry, grain growth, particle shape [41] and relative density.…”

“…It is invariably used for metal working tools, fuel cell, nuclear reactor and high temperature applications like turbine blade. Addition of TiC impedes the starting materials grain growth and likely to improve the mechanical properties and densification behaviour [12,13]. Increase in TiC concentration improves the electrical conductivity of the composite that leverages the utility of the material in various avenues [14].…”

Thermal stability of TiC–Ti3AlC2 and TiC–Ti3AlC composites during selective laser treatment

“…However, high-temperature processing of MAX-phase powders is difficult, since MAX phases decompose at high temperatures into simpler phases and lose their advantages [7,8]. Titanium carbide (TiC) is a ceramic that has excellent thermal and chemical stability, good electroconductivity, low density, elevated melting point, superior hardness, low thermal expansivity, appropriate thermal conductivity, and high wear resistance [9][10][11]. TiC-MAXphase composites can be processed at higher temperatures and maintain the MAX-phase structure, compared with pure MAX phases [12].…”
