The paper shows the effect of Ti2 AlNb, NiTi, NiNbZr, and NiVTa additives during spark plasma sintering of the compositions under a pressing loading of 60 MPa in the temperature range from 1200 to 1600°C on the phase composition, microstructure, grain sizes of the crystalline phases, relative density, linear shrinkage, physical and mechanical properties, linear correlation of the modulus of elasticity, and fracture toughness of the mullite—(Ti,Mo)(C,N) – c-ZrO2– c-BN and mullite – (Ti,Mo)(C,N) – β-Si3N4– c-BN samples. Synthesized powders of Ti(C0.7N0.3), β-Si3N4, c-BN, Ti2 AlNb, NiTi, NiNbZr, and NiVTa show intensive crystallization of Ti(C0.7N0.3), β-Si3N4, c-BN, Ti2AlNb, NiTi, Ni45Nb35Zr20, and Ni17V61Ta22 phases. Spark plasma sintered c-ZrO2 (at 1400°C) and (Ti,Mo)(C,N) (at 1800°C) show intensive crystallization of c-ZrO2 and (Ti0.7Mo0.3)(C0.7N0.3) phases. The crystalline microstructure of the sintered c-ZrO2 and (Ti,Mo)(C,N) phases consists of variously sintered and compacted grains of different shapes. The Ti2 AlNb, NiTi, NiNbZr, and NiVTa additives contribute to different crystallization of mullite and (Ti,Mo)(C,N), ZrO2, β-Si3N4, and c-BN phases in the temperature range from 1200 to 1600°C. Crystallization of the NiTi phase proceeds more intensively compared to the Ti2 AlNb phase, and samples sintered in the temperature range from 1400 to 1600°C demonstrate higher crystallinity of the Ni(Zr,Nb), Ni45Nb35Zr20, Ni(Ta,V), and Ni17V61Ta22 phases. The NiTi and NiVTa additives enhance sintering and promote the formation of more uniform and densely sintered microstructures of the samples at 1500°C, which results in polydisperse grain compositions of the crystalline phases of the samples in the range from 1200 to 1600°C. Samples containing the NiTi and NiVTa additives show a more active increase and higher physical and mechanical properties, crack resistance, linear correlation of the modulus of elasticity, and fracture toughness in the range from 1200 to 1600°C.

Notes

  1. The stoichiometry of Ni45Nb35Zr20, Ni17V61Ta22, and (Ti0.7Mo0.3)(C0.7N0.3) was determined based on the percentage content of Ni, Nb, Zr, Ni, V, Ta, Ti, Mo, C, and N in these compounds with an error of ±2% by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (model JET-2300T).
