In this paper the properties of the austenitic stainless steel reinforced with various volume fractions of TiB 2 ceramics have been studied. The high pressure-high temperature (HP-HT) method of sintering was applied to the formation of composites. Samples were sintered at pressure of 5 and 7 ±0.2 GPa and temperatures of 1273 K and 1573 K. For the tested materials, the relative density, Young's modulus and hardness were measured. In order to investigate the structure changes, the scanning electron microscope was used. The obtained results show that the temperature and pressure influence on the mechanical and physical properties of the investigated composites.Keywords: high pressure-high temperature (HP-HT) sintering, titanium diboride (TiB 2 ), austenitic stainless steel, properties W prezentowanej pracy zbadano właściwości stali austenitycznej z różnym udziałem objętościowym ceramiki TiB 2 . Do wytworzenia spieków kompozytowych proszków zastosowano spiekanie wysokociśnieniowe HP-HT. Próbki były spiekane przy ciśnieniu 5 oraz 7±0.2 GPa i temperatururze 1273 K oraz 1573 K. Kompozyty poddano badaniom gęstości, modułu Younga oraz twardości. Badania mikrostruktury przeprowadzono za pomocą skaningowej mikroskopii elektronowej. Uzyskane wyniki badań wykazały, że temperatura oraz ciśnienie wpływają na mechaniczne oraz fizyczne wł aściwości materiałów kompozytowych.
This study was carried out to evaluate a series of ceramic coatings in a sulfidation atmosphere containing 99% synthetic air and 1% H2S (vol.%) under a flow rate of 50 mL/min. The study was carried out at 773.15 K for 336 hours (heating rate 278.15 K/min). Chemically resistant glass enamels based on SiO2-B2O3-TiO2-Na2O compounds were deposited on the surface of 16Mo3 (16M) low-alloyed steel. Kinetic data were recorded periodically every 168 hours; macro- and microanalyses using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), phase analyses using x-ray diffractometry (XRD) and chemical composition using energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry along with EDS x-ray mappings were carried out to observe the degradation process of the sulfidized coatings. The results indicated that some of the ceramic coatings exposed in the harsh atmosphere at 773.15 K for 336 hours showed a high degree of protection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
