Preparation of SiAlON-cBN Composites Using Ni Nanoparticle Precipitated cBN Powders

Article Preview

Abstract:

SiAlON Was Mixed with Ni Nanoparticle Precipitated cBN (SiAlON-cBN/Ni) and Sintered by Spark Plasma Sintering at 1923 K for a Holding Time (tH) of 0 to 1.8 Ks. the Effect of Ni Nanoparticle and Holding Time on the Phase Transformation of cBN to Hexagonal (hBN), Densification, Microstructure and Hardness of the SiAlON-cBN Composites Was Studied. At tH =1.8 Ks , the Relative Density of the SiAlON-20 Vol% cBN/Ni Was 99%, 7% Higher than that of SiAlON-20 Vol% cBN, Indicating that Ni Nanoparticle on cBN Promoted the Densification of SiAlON-cBN Composites. The BN Grains in SiAlON-20 Vol% cNB Showed a Round Morphology, whereas the BN Grains in SiAlON-20 Vol% cBN/Ni Composite Showed a Flake Morphology Characteristic of hBN. The Phase Transformation of cBN Was Accelerated by Ni. the Maximum Hardness of SiAlON-20 Vol% cBN/Ni Was 16.3 GPa Obtained at tH = 0 Ks.
