Abstract: In this study, dissimilar grade aluminium plates were explosively cladded by placing a wire mesh/ceramic particle between them. The stainless steel 316 mesh with 90^o orientation and SiCp (1.5 volume %) are employed to enhance the mechanical properties of the aluminium composites. Microhardness and microstructure of the explosively cladded composite materials were evaluated. Significant improvement in the microhardness of the wire mesh/ceramic particle reinforced aluminium composite is established.

Abstract: In the surface of graphite electrode, the in-situ synthesized high temperature antioxidation composite coating is prepared, depending on argon arc cladding and the raw materials of Si and B₄C powder. The coating consists of SiC and B₁₃C₂ ceramic particles. The results show that: the reaction generates B₂O₃ and SiO₂ with high temperature play a role in healing crack and preventing oxygen diffusion; a kind of continuous interface is present between the cladding layer and the graphite substrate, no obvious flaws; burning at 1573 K and 10 h, oxidation weightlessness rate is 0.912%.

Abstract: Water treatment ceramic particles were prepared using dewatered life sludge in Huainan No.1 Sewage treatment plant and power plant fly ash as main materials and clay as the bond. Through the L9 (43) orthogonal test, we obtained the best conditions of the preparing process. The product can be used as water treatment packing ceramic particles and simulated adsorption experiment with the wastewater including Pb^{2 +} was conducted. The results indicate that ceramic particles (used as wastewater treatment filler) bibulous rate is 25.0%, the loose density is 690kg/m³, the particle density is 1240kg/m³, specific surface area is 5.997m²/g, the compressive strength is 9.40MPa and the adsorptive performance is excellent. The toxic metal leaching experimental result shows that the concentration of toxic heavy metals in leaching solution is in the range of GB specification and the performance of product is stable which will not cause second pollution.

Abstract: One of the most important problems in both the fabrication and exploitation of ceramicmetal composites are residual thermal stresses. The paper presents the results of a numerical analysis (by the Finite Elements Method) of the stress state induced in the NiAl matrix composites reinforced with spherical particles of a ceramic phase (Al2O3, ZrO2, TiC), including examinations of the dependence of this stress state on the volumetric fraction of the ceramics (20 to 40vol.%). The stress state prevailing in this composite appeared to be complex. In all the samples, the stresses active in the ceramic regions were compressive whereas those active in the metal matrix were tensile in the circumferential direction and compressive in the radial direction. An increase of the ceramic volumetric fraction resulted in an increase of the tensile stresses in the NiAl matrix and a decrease of the compressive stresses in the ceramic particles. These theoretical results were verified experimentally by examining the properties of the NiAl-Al2O3, NiAl-ZrO2 and NiAl-TiC (20 and 30 vol.% fraction of the ceramics) composites produced by hot-pressing. The microstructure, density, and bending strength of these composites were examined, and the results are discussed in the paper.
