In order to improve the properties of these tools, research on the application of wear-resistant coatings, such as polycrystalline diamond, are of great importance to several applications. It is known that the occurrence of high-stress levels between the coating and the substrate can lead to adhesion failures. One strategy to minimize these failures is applying an intermediate layer of SiC. In this work, the deposition of a SiC layer was carried out by a novel two-step laser cladding approach. Instead of cladding directly the pre-synthesized SiC on the substrates, a 200 µm silicon powder layer was pre-deposited on the WC-Co substrates and then irradiated with a 30 W CO 2 laser. To improve metallurgical bonding between the tungsten and the Si layer, all substrates were chemically attacked. This attack allows cobalt removal from the surface and increases surface roughness, improving the laser cladding process. After the SiC laser cladding, samples were coated with a 200 µm graphite powder layer and irradiated again by a CO 2 laser. The samples were characterized by SEM, EDS, and XRD analysis. The results showed that in the first step, an irradiation energy of about 0.27 J was enough to fuse the silicon powder to the substrate and in the second step, 0.13 J was enough to promote the reaction between silicon, carbon and the WC substrate, resulting in the in-situ synthesis of SiC. Finally, a new method was proposed for the deposition of SiC on WC-Co based substrates and the observed results allowed the proposal of an empirical equation to describe the chemical reactions of the process.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67301312","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}

This study focuses on the hydroxylation behavior of different sources of magnesia (sinter and caustic magnesia) in aqueous suspensions prepared at various solids concentrations (17-96 vol%) and shaped by distinct methods. They were analyzed by thermogravimetry, apparent volumetric expansion measurements, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and in situ temperature measurements during curing. The ratio between experimental and theoretical extents of the hydroxylation degree resulted in the reaction yield. A comparison between samples containing the same water amount revealed those with caustic magnesia showed a faster evolution of hydroxylation degree, apparent volumetric expansion, and higher maximum internal temperature during curing. In both systems, the yield levels of compositions of heavier solid loads were higher, despite the small quantity of hydroxylation products formed. Significant differences in the products’ microstructure were observed and related to the ions’ mobility toward crystallization nuclei.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67302077","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}

Hematite is considered a good microwave absorber due to its high loss tangent value, calculated in the range of 0.001 to 0.2 between room temperature and 750 ºC for 2.45 GHz 1 , thus showing good interaction with this electromagnetic radiation. However, there are few studies on grain growth kinetics of hematite during microwave sintering, as well as the relationship with grain growth parameters. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the heating rate and dwell time on grain growth kinetics, during microwave-assisted sintering (2.45 GHz) of hematite nanopowders. In an initial characterization, dilatometry tests were performed by conventional heating and microwave-assisted heating using the same heating rate (20 °C/min). From these results, the temperature ranges of the initial and intermediate stages of sintering and the onset of linear shrinkage were determined. Considering these results, the samples were sintered in a conventional oven from 750 ºC to 1200 ºC with increments of 50 ºC, varying the dwell time in 6, 12 and 36 minutes. Thus, the diffusional mechanism (N) could be calculated, a value used for the approximate calculation of microwave sintering kinetics. Additionally, sintering was performed in a microwave oven using three heating rates (20, 30 and 50 °C/min) to evaluate the effect of the heating rate on grain growth. The estimated activation energies for the grain growth process during microwave sintering were approximately 237.5 to 272.3kJ/mol, which were higher compared to conventional sintering, in the range of 206.0 to 242.0 kJ /mol. It was found that with increasing microwave heating rate, the activation energy for grain growth tends to be higher.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67304550","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}
