The effect of heat-treatment on the performance of sub-micron SiCp-reinforced alpha-beta sialon composites .1. Preparation of agglomerate-free starting powders
Liu, Q; Gao, L; Yan, DS; Mandal, Hasan; Thompson, DP (Elsevier Sci LTD, 1997)In order to prepare good-quality, dense, SiCp-reinforced alpha-beta sialon composites by hot-pressing, a technique was developed to prevent agglomeration of the SiC grains during powder processing. For this purpose, the ... -
The effect of heat-treatment on the performance of sub-micron SiCp-reinforced alpha-beta sialon composites .2. Heat-treatment studies
Liu, Q; Gao, L; Yan, DS; Mandal, Hasan; Thompson, DP (Elsevier Sci LTD, 1997)The effects of heat-treatment on alpha --> beta sialon transformation in dense, agglomerate-free Ln-sialon/SiCp(Ln=Nd,Yb) composites are reported. The stability of the alpha-sialon phase is not only dependent on the ... -
The effect of heat-treatment on the performance of sub-micron SiCp-reinforced alpha-beta sialon composites .3. Mechanical properties
Liu, Q; Gao, L; Yan, DS; Mandal, Hasan; Thompson, DP (Elsevier Sci LTD, 1997)Agglomerate-free SiCp-reinforced Ln-sialon (Ln=Nd and Yb) composites were fabricated by hot-pressing and by pressureless sintering to evaluate the improvement in microstructure and mechanical properties that could be ... -
Effect of starting composition, type of rare earth sintering additive and amount of liquid phase on alpha reversible arrow beta sialon transformation
Camuşcu, N.; Thompson, DP; Mandal, Hasan (Elsevier Sci LTD, 1997)Five different alpha-beta sialon and alpha-sialon compositions have been prepared using different rare earth oxide additives namely, neodymium, samarium, dysprosium and ytterbium., Post-sintering heat treatments have been ... -
The preparation of Ce alpha-sialons and related unstable phases
Thompson, DP; Mandal, Hasan (Iom Communications LTD, 1998)It has previously been accepted that lanthanum and cerium do not form alpha-sialon structures because their ions are too large to enter the interstices in the structure. Recent work on heat-treatment of rare-earth densified ... -
Preparation of Ce and Nd beta-sialon ceramics by alpha ->beta sialon transformation
Thompson, DP; Mandal, Hasan (Inst Materials, 1997)It has previously been accepted that lanthanum and cerium do not form alpha-sialon structures because their ions are too large to enter the interstices in the structure. Recent work on heat treatment of rare earth densified ...
