The aim of this study was to process and evaluate the mechanical properties and bioactivity of magnesium and strontium doped hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffolds and investigate the effect of adding zirconium oxide and gelatine coating the scaffolds. Doped nanosized hydroxyapatite powder was synthesized by the hydrothermal method and the scaffolds were made by the foam replica technique and sintered at different temperatures. Yttria-stabilized zirconium oxide (YSZ), synthesized by plasma technology, was used as reinforcement of calcium phosphate scaffolds. Element analysis, phase composition, morphology of the powders and microstructure of the scaffolds were investigated, as well as the compressive strength of the coated and uncoated scaffolds and bioactivity in simulated body fluid (SBF). A microporous structure was achieved with interconnected pores and bioactivity in SBF was confirmed in all cases. The best mechanical properties were given by the coated composite HAp/YSZ scaffolds, withstanding average stresses of over 1019 kPa. These results encourage the idea of use of these scaffolds in bone regenerative therapy and bone tissue engineering.","PeriodicalId":21592,"journal":{"name":"Science of Sintering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68810764","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}

In this study, bronze matrix (Cu10Sn) materials were reinforced with boron carbide (B4C) and silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic materials by using the mechanical alloying method. New composite materials were produced by powder metallurgy method by adding ceramic reinforcement (B4C and SiC) at 1, 2, 4 and 8 weight ratios to Cu10Sn alloy, which is the main matrix material. The obtained composite materials examined in terms of structural, microhardness and wear resistance. Coefficient friction, specific wear rate and volume loss rates under 5N, 10N, and 15N loads were examined for the samples produced. When the applied microhardness and wear behaviors were examined, it was generally seen that the hardness and wear behaviors were improved with the added reinforcement ratios. In line with the examinations made, based on the hardness and wear processes applied to the materials consisting of the bronze matrix of the reinforcement material, it was observed that the most appropriate results were obtained from composite materials (Alloy 4 and Alloy 8), which contain 4% B4C and SiC reinforcement.","PeriodicalId":21592,"journal":{"name":"Science of Sintering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68812153","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}

Microstructure studies and phase analysis were performed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), optical microscopy (OM), and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). Tensile tests and hardness measurements were performed to evaluate the hardness, strength, and ductility of the alloys. The results showed that Cr addition affected the porosity and grain size of the alloys, as well as the formation of precipitates. The ultimate tensile strength reached a maximum at 17.3 wt.% Cr and then decreased with further Cr addition. Ductility decreased with increasing Cr under the influence of precipitates formed and changes in microstructure. On the other hand, the hardness increased with increasing Cr inversely to the ductility.","PeriodicalId":21592,"journal":{"name":"Science of Sintering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68812502","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 cold pressed samples were sintered in a mixed-gas atmosphere (90% nitrogen, 10% hydrogen) at 5?C/min up to 1400?C for 2 hours. Then, the produced steels were hot rolled with a deformation rate of 80%. The microstructures show that deformed Mo and Mo-Ni steels have finer microstructures, better mechanical properties than undeformed Mo and Mo-Ni steels, and MoC, MoN, or MoC(N) was formed in the Mo-Ni steels. The highest mechanical properties were obtained in rolled steel samples containing Mo-Ni, followed by rolled Mo steel and rolled carbon steel samples, and then unrolled samples. Additionally, Tafel curve analysis demonstrated that alloy corrosion resistance rose as Ni concentration increased. It has also been observed that the hot rolling process improves corrosion resistance. The increase in the density value with the rolling process emerged as the best supporter of corrosion resistance.","PeriodicalId":21592,"journal":{"name":"Science of Sintering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68812771","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}

A fine distribution of Ni-Si compounds embedded in a netted-free structure is formed in the matrix. Although a conductivity level of at least 22% IACS is achieved in all powder metallurgical alloys, the impurity effect is dominant and a decrease in the conductivity is detected by increasing Ni:Si ratio. However, a slight increase in electrical conductivity is achieved by the precipitation of nickel silicides in the ?-Cu matrix under aging conditions. Increasing Ni:Si ratio directly increases the hardness of the powder metallurgical matrix, and a hardness value of 73 HV0.1 is obtained for the aged alloy having the highest Ni:Si (5:1) ratio.","PeriodicalId":21592,"journal":{"name":"Science of Sintering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68812071","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}

Magnesium and boron powder with stoichiometric ratio 2:1 was weighed and milled for 2 h. The milled powder was compacted and sintered at 1023 K and 1123 K for 2 h.
