“…In addition, the metallic Ti/Mo layer provides a better interface between matrix and reinforcement, which translates into higher mechanical properties of composites. Such an approach was previously used for graphene modification, where nickel layer improved wettability between matrix and reinforcement [ 53 ]. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on the use of MXene phase modification approaches for application in ceramic matrix composites.…”

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Alumina Composites with Addition of Structurally Modified 2D Ti3C2 (MXene) Phase

This study presents new findings related to the incorporation of MXene phases into ceramic. Aluminium oxide and synthesised Ti3C2 were utilised as starting materials. Knowing the tendency of MXenes to oxidation and degradation, particularly at higher temperatures, structural modifications were proposed. They consisted of creating the metallic layer on the Ti3C2, by sputtering the titanium or molybdenum. To prepare the composites, powder metallurgy and spark plasma sintering (SPS) techniques were adopted. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the applied modifications, the emphasis of the research was placed on microstructural analysis. In addition, the mechanical properties of the obtained sinters were examined. Observations revealed significant changes in the MXenes degradation process, from porous areas with TiC particles (for unmodified Ti3C2), to in situ creation of graphitic carbon (in the case of Ti3C2-Ti/Mo). Moreover, the fracture changed from purely intergranular to cracking with high participation of transgranular mode, analogously. In addition, the results obtained showed an improvement in the mechanical properties for composites with Ti/Mo modifications (an increase of 10% and 15% in hardness and fracture toughness respectively, for specimens with 0.5 wt.% Ti3C2-Mo). For unmodified Ti3C2, enormously cracked areas with spatters emerged during tests, making the measurements impossible to perform.

“…New materials will have high thermal stability, high corrosion and wear resistance, high fracture toughness and will be obtained with a view to fully replacing the presently available commercial WC-Co hard materials. New Al 2 O 3 matrix composites, with the inclusion of various novel reinforcing phases-for example, cBN (cubic boron nitride) [222] or Al 2 O 3 fibres coated with graphene-will substitute hard metals (sintered carbides) [223,224]. It is evident from this discussion that the computational techniques outlined in Section 4 could play a major role in designing tool materials with improved mechanical properties.…”

The Critical Raw Materials in Cutting Tools for Machining Applications: A Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A variety of cutting tool materials are used for the contact mode mechanical machining of components under extreme conditions of stress, temperature and/or corrosion, including operations such as drilling, milling turning and so on. These demanding conditions impose a seriously high strain rate (an order of magnitude higher than forming), and this limits the useful life of cutting tools, especially single-point cutting tools. Tungsten carbide is the most popularly used cutting tool material, and unfortunately its main ingredients of W and Co are at high risk in terms of material supply and are listed among critical raw materials (CRMs) for EU, for which sustainable use should be addressed. This paper highlights the evolution and the trend of use of CRMs) in cutting tools for mechanical machining through a timely review. The focus of this review and its motivation was driven by the four following themes: (i) the discussion of newly emerging hybrid machining processes offering performance enhancements and longevity in terms of tool life (laser and cryogenic incorporation); (ii) the development and synthesis of new CRM substitutes to minimise the use of tungsten; (iii) the improvement of the recycling of worn tools; and (iv) the accelerated use of modelling and simulation to design long-lasting tools in the Industry-4.0 framework, circular economy and cyber secure manufacturing. It may be noted that the scope of this paper is not to represent a completely exhaustive document concerning cutting tools for mechanical processing, but to raise awareness and pave the way for innovative thinking on the use of critical materials in mechanical processing tools with the aim of developing smart, timely control strategies and mitigation measures to suppress the use of CRMs.

“…Analysis of the literature shows that diverse nanoreinforcements were used to prepare alumina hybrid nanocomposite materials. This includes Al 2 O 3 -SiC-CNTs [32,40,41,43,133], Alumina-GNPs-SiC [39,134], Alumina-Graphene-CNTs [53,135], Alumina-modified multilayer graphene nanoplatelets [136], Al 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 -Graphene [137], Al 2 O 3 -SiCw-TiC [54,55], Al 2 O 3 -TiC-Ni [56], Al 2 O 3 -CNFs-SiC [57], and Alumina-Graphene based nanocomposites [58,59]. The majority of the performed studies were dedicated to the evaluation of mechanical properties and few researchers considered the tribological [54], electrical [40,54,58,59,60], and thermal properties [40,60].…”

Although ceramics have many advantages when compared to metals in specific applications, they could be more widely applied if their low properties (fracture toughness, strength, and electrical and thermal conductivities) are improved. Reinforcing ceramics by two nano-phases that have different morphologies and/or properties, called the hybrid microstructure design, has been implemented to develop hybrid ceramic nanocomposites with tailored nanostructures, improved mechanical properties, and enhanced functionalities. The use of the novel spark plasma sintering (SPS) process allowed for the sintering of hybrid ceramic nanocomposite materials to maintain high relative density while also preserving the small grain size of the matrix. As a result, hybrid nanocomposite materials that have better mechanical and functional properties than those of either conventional composites or nanocomposites were produced. The development of hybrid ceramic nanocomposites is in its early stage and it is expected to continue attracting the interest of the scientific community. In the present paper, the progress made in the development of alumina hybrid nanocomposites, using spark plasma sintering, and their properties are reviewed. In addition, the current challenges and potential applications are highlighted. Finally, future prospects for developing alumina hybrid nanocomposites that have better performance are set.
