The feldspar sample has been synthesized by the thermal induction phase transformation process of ion exchange Ca-LTA zeolite with Ba cation. After the ion exchange Ba/Ca-LTA, the sample was heated at the temperature of 1300?C and the structure of Ba/Ca-feldspar was determined by the X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The X and U shape parameters that contribute to the strain have been reconstructed by fractal interpolation. Once we can reconstruct the shapes, which are quantum mechanics effects, we should provide the data for predicting desired parameters mentioned previously.

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.

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}

The phases of the technological process consist of: milling, homogenization, pressing, and sintering to obtain composite materials with improved fracture toughness. Andesite basalt from the deposit site \"Donje Jarinje\", Serbia, was used as a matrix in the composites, while commercial austenitic stainless steel 316L in the amount of 0-30 wt.% was used as a reinforcement. Although the increase of 316L amount caused a continuous decrease in the relative density of sintered samples, the relative density of sample containing 30 wt.% of 316L was above 94%. The 316L grains, which possess a larger coefficient of thermal expansion than the basalt matrix, shrinking faster during cooling from sintering temperature resulting in the formation of compressive residual stress in the basalt matrix surrounding the spherical steel grains. The presence of this stress activated toughening mechanisms such as crack deflection and toughening due to compressive residual stress. The addition of 20 wt.% of reinforcing 316L particles increased the fracture toughness of basalt by more than 30%.

XPS analysis revealed that changing of NaOH concentration did not affect the types of formed bonds in the material. At the same time, the amount of sodium and aluminum increased with the NaOH molarity. The latter steps could be especially interesting because it may indicate the possibility of 'dosing' the amount of Al incorporated by changing the NaOH concentration in the solution. DRIFT analysis revealed that the absorption band for AlIV located at 800 cm-1 is shifted towards the smaller values. Changing the concentration of NaOH, the chemical content did not change, but the structural changes are observed. Raman spectroscopy detected that the most dominant peaks at ?400 cm-1 and 519 cm-1 originate from Si-O-Al and Si-O-Si bending modes. With increasing the NaOH concentration, peaks at 1019-1060 cm-1 become more prominent as a result of polymerization. Both analyzes (DRIFT and Raman) confirmed the presence of quartz.
