Abstract
Inherent inferior plasticity of ceramic composites hinders severely the improvement of mechanical properties via increment of dislocation density and transformation of morphology by post-treatment. To date, dynamic hot forging (DHF) is discovered as a direct and efficient strategy to promote deformation and dislocation density in ceramics. Herein, we forge the Al2O3 whisker reinforced ZrO2 composite via DHF and systematically study the effect of dynamic pressure amplitude on the microstructure regulation and mechanical properties. The results show that dynamic pressure can produce intragranular dislocations in the composite, and thus leading to plastic deformation via dislocation-accommodated grain-boundary sliding. Furthermore, the vibration of pressure amplitude can significantly promote dislocation density, and thereby resulting in regulation of dislocation morphology and interior microstructures. The corresponding mechanical properties of the composite is also significantly improved by DHF process. This work provides a novel pathway for regulating microstructures and improving mechanical properties of ceramic composites via DHF.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
