Reactive hot pressing of ZrB2-based composites with changes in ZrO2/SiC ratio and sintering conditions. Part I: Densification behavior

Effect of Ni, Bi and Se on the tetrahedrite formation

“…The Taguchi method has been recently implemented with success in several Materials Science studies. [27][28][29][30][31] Studies as distinct as the optimization of the fabrication of TiO 2 -Nb 2 O 5 -Al 2 O 3 mixed oxide nanotube arrays on Ti-6Al-7Nb, 27 the design of multicomponent ferrospinels for high-temperature purposes, 28 the densi-cation of ZrB 2 -based composites by reactive hot pressing with changes in ZrO 2 /SiC ratio and sintering conditions, 29 the bond strength optimization of Ti/Cu/Ti clad composites produced by roll-bonding, 30 or the synthesis of minimal-size ZnO nanoparticles through sol-gel method 31 were recently made using the Taguchi method. In these works, L-9 and L-32 orthogonal arrays 26 were used, allowing a strong decrease in the number of experiences needed to determine the optimal conditions.…”

Advances in ultra-high temperature ceramics, composites, and coatings

“…Bulk ceramics are the initial application form for UHTCs, which can be densified by various methods, including hot pressing (HP) [67][68][69][70][71][72], spark plasma sintering (SPS) [73,76,79], reactive hot-pressing (RHP) [74,75,77,78], and pressureless sintering (PLS) [80][81][82][83][84][85], etc. The following part focuses on the various densification processes, as well as the sintering aids on the densification behavior of UHTCs.…”

ON MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF PRESSURE-ASSISTED, SINTE RED Al-Mg COMPOSITE

“…Pressure-assisted reactive sintering was used to produce many (also non-metal) composites such as ZrB2-SiC-ZrC [20], B4C/Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 [21], Al-Si [22], ZrB2-SiC-ZrO2 [23], TiC/Ti3SiC2 [24] or reinforced Al matrix composites [3] [25]. Depending on material and processing conditions, porosity varied between 2.4% [21] and 26% [24].…”
