Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

The possibility of manufacturing ball-, cylinder-, and hollow cylinder-shaped products based on Si3N4 and TiN nanocomposites by spark plasma sintering (SPS) is demonstrated. The features of the product properties associated with different conductivity of composites. The mechanical properties of ball- and hollow cylinder-shaped materials measured: HV ~ 11.5 GPa, KIc ~ 4.1 MPa · m1/2 (for Si3N4); and HV ~ 12.7 GPa, KIc ~ 4.8 MPa · m1/2 (for Si3N4–TiN).
