Nanoparticles Consolidation Mechanism at High Pressure and High Temperature in Diamond-B-Si-Cu System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The synthesis of advanced materials with superior performance and properties is of growing scientific and technological interest. In particular, significant achievements have been attained in the synthesis of nanocomposites associated with superhard materials. This work investigates nanostructured composites obtained by high pressure and high temperature sintering of synthetic diamond combined with boron, silicon and copper. Diamond powder was mixed with B, Si and Cu, also in the form of powder. The mixture was then submitted to high energy wet milling until a nanopowder was formed. Sintering of this resulting nanopowder was carried out at 5.6 GPa of pressure and 1300°C. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed the formation of new phases in a well consolidated nanostructure with relatively high density.
