A transparent alumina ceramic with a transmittance of 71.7% at 640 nm is fabricated by sintering mixed metastable Al2O3 powder at 5.0 GPa/600 °C. The spherical starting particles are deformed and highly densified during compression, and transformed into α‐Al2O3 at 5.0 GPa/500 °C. High pressure suppresses the growth of transformed grains to produce alumina bulks with an average grain size of approximately...
The grain size dependence of the mechanical properties of cBN-Si composites prepared using the high pressure infiltration method has been investigated. Indentation testing indicates that cBN-Si composites have hardness values of 38–43GPa, which increase with increasing grain size and are harder than traditional polycrystalline cBN composites (PcBNs). Thermostability analyses display that cBN-Si composites...
In this work, we present a novel method to sinter tungsten bulk material under high pressure without any additives. The sintering temperatures were greatly reduced in our experiments. The sintered samples can achieve near-full densification (relative density of 99.5%), and have fracture toughness of about 50% higher than that from the traditional methods, without sacrificing hardness. Moreover, the...
