The AC impedance Nyquist plot showed two semicircles that were curve-fitted using an equivalent circuit with two constant-phase element components. The analysis results revealed that the capacitance in the low-frequency region decreased with increasing oxidation time, whereas that in the high-frequency region remained relatively constant. This change in the capacitance in the low-frequency region was associated with the thickness of the oxidized SiO2 layer. This study might make a significant contribution to the literature, which has mostly focused on the characterization of ceramic matrix composites through measurements of mechanical properties. The limitations and potential applications of the developed method were also elucidated.","PeriodicalId":15130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies","volume":"11 1","pages":"291 - 299"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43184318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the powder metallurgy route, the TiO2 added to CSZTA samples were synthesized and sintered (air environment). Additionally, the pin on the disc machine was used to examine the wear characteristics of sintered samples. Adding TiO2 to CSZTA enhances the tribological properties compared to pure ceria-stabilized zirconia-toughened alumina (CSZTA). In addition, the samples (CSZTA and CSZTA-TiO2) were subjected to aging. There is no monoclinic-phase transformation (no degradation) in the CSZTA-TiO2 sample after 100 h of testing, confirming its great resistance to LTD. The bioactivity of developed CSZTA and CSZTA-TiO2 samples was studied using simulated body fluid (SBF). After chemical treatment, it was shown that the composite would create an apatite layer that resembled bone when soaked in a simulated body fluid with ion concentrations equal to human blood plasma. These results suggest that it may generate apatite within a live organism and connect to the bone via the apatite layer.","PeriodicalId":15130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies","volume":"11 1","pages":"385 - 394"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46293233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that the formation of β-Si3N4 is enhanced and accelerated in NH3 compared to nitrogen (N2). The scanning electron microscope (SEM) examination shows that, compared with N2, NH3 contributes to the formation of spherical-like particles, and all irregular silicon particles are transformed into spherical-like β-Si3N4 particles in the NH3 atmosphere. These results indicate that the NH3 atmosphere is conducive to the formation of submicron spherical-like β-Si3N4 particles.

The effects of firing temperatures (1600–1700°C) and compacting pressures (100–200 MPa) on the microstructures and properties of microporous MgO refractory aggregates were thoroughly studied. The results showed that the microporous MgO refractory aggregates contained two types of pore structures, which were intra-particle pores with pore sizes of 180.0–230.0 nm formed by in situ decomposition of Mg(OH)2 and inter-particle pores with pore sizes of 1.5–3.0 μm derived from particle packing between Mg(OH)2 pseudomorph particles, respectively. Besides, the firing temperatures had a great influence on the intra-particle pore size and microcrystallite size. And the compacting pressures not only influenced the intra-particle pore size via packing behaviors but also affected the inner firing behaviors of the pseudomorph particles due to the increase in H2O vapor pressure.
