Structure and Properties of Reinforced Ceramic Materials Produced by Directional Solidification

  • Published:
Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

The paper describes advances in a promising area for the development of Samsonov’s scientific school at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. The main results are provided to refine the mechanisms whereby crystals nucleate and grow from melts of eutectic alloys and acquire their microstructure and phase composition and the mechanisms whereby reinforced composite materials with isotropic and anisotropic microstructure are strengthened for extreme applications involving high-speed heating and cooling, impact interaction, cyclic loading, and corrosive environments. The mechanical properties of reinforced composite materials in a wide temperature range are presented. Areas for application of the reinforced ceramics are identified.
