SiC–Ti layered material prepared by binder-treated powder sintering

Physico-chemical and mechanical properties of Ti3SiC2-based materials elaborated from SiC/Ti by reactive spark plasma sintering

“…Besides, the intense exothermic peak at 1340 ℃ indicated that there was a strong phase forming reaction that took place: this can be due to the formation of the Ti 3 SiC 2 phase. This result was also observed by Kuang et al [12]. Another study conducted by Sato et al [26] revealed that TiC and Ti 5 Si 3 were the major formed phases in the temperature range 1000-1300 ℃.…”

“…To explain the Ti 3 SiC 2 formation from Ti/SiC powder, Kuang et al [12] proposed the following mechanism using hot pressing technique. The authors assumed that firstly, SiC reacted with Ti at the interface which resulted in the formation of TiC and Si.…”

“…Among these mixtures, we quote Ti/Si/C [5], Ti/C/SiC [6], Ti/SiC [7], and Si/TiC [8]. Several researchers reported on the synthesis of Ti 3 SiC 2 starting from Ti/SiC in fine powder or nonpowder forms such as films, foils, and rods by using different processes [9][10][11][12][13][14]. These sintering processes were often performed at relatively high temperature (more than 1400 ℃) for a long time.…”

Extrusion of metal powder-polymer mixtures: Melt rheology and process stability

“…As an example, Raza et al (2012) produced dog bone shaped stainless steel MIM parts and tested their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance; Sidambe et al (2102) demonstrated the use of the process for producing commercially pure titanium medical parts, investigating their shrinkage after sintering; Cheng et al (2010) succesfully fabricated some spherical samples by MIM, using a copper-2 tungsten alloy, which resulted with a fine and homogeneous microstructure. Kuang et al (2009) have shown that the process can even be used for metal matrix composites; they produced some MIM SiC-Ti layered material samples, with a disk shape.…”
