Effect of sintering conditions on microstructure orientation in α-SiC prepared by slip casting in a strong magnetic field

Towards optimization of SiC/CoSi2 composite material manufacture via reactive infiltration: Wetting study of Si–Co alloys on carbon materials

“…Of all these, its high mechanical resistance, chemical inertness and oxidation resistance make it an ideal candidate for high wear applications such as brake discs or anti-ballistic shields. Since SiC presents a low diffusion capacity, the sintering of SiC powder requires severe temperature (1900-2200 • C) and pressure conditions or the use of sintering additives (Y 2 O 3 , MgO, Al 2 O 3 ) [6][7][8][9][10]. An alternative route for obtaining dense bodies of SiC with complex geometries is the process known as Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide (RBSC) [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Microstructure and Anisotropic Properties of Textured ZrB2 and ZrB2–MoSi2 Ceramics Prepared by Strong Magnetic Field Alignment

“…A strong magnetic field alignment has been applied in several studies for texturing of "feeble-magnetic" ceramics (e.g., Al 2 O 3 , 26,27 AlN, 28 Si 3 N 4 , 29,30 SiC, 31 B 4 C, 32 MAX phases, [33][34][35] etc.). The process involves the alignment of the particles in a strong magnetic field, typically !…”

Fabrication of Ceramics with Highly Controlled Microstructures by Advanced Fine Powder Processing

“…In contrast, for aluminum nitride, silicon carbide, zinc oxide, silicon nitride, and HAP, only a c-plane-oriented material is obtained when a static magnetic field is applied because their magnetic susceptibilities along the a, b-axis are higher than those along the c-axis. In this case, uniaxially oriented materials are fabricated using a rotating magnetic field (Tanaka S. et al, 2006;Suzuki T.S., et al, 2009Suzuki T.S., et al, , 2010Zhu X. and Sakka Y., 2008a;Zhu X. et al, 2010Zhu X. et al, , 2014.
