Microstructure of Nanocrystalline Ceramics

MRS Proceedings, 1988
ABSTRACTThe microstructure of nanocrystalline (n-) TiO2 was studied as a function of sintering temperature up to 1273 K. Grain growth was monitored using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Measurements of density and permeability of He and Ar were also conducted.

The Microstructure of Ceramic Whiskers

Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1991
The internal structure and surface crystallography of ceramic whiskers are of interest because of their increasing importance as second phase reinforcements in a variety of matrix materials. Whiskers are typically 0.5 to 5 um in diameter with aspect ratios of 10 to 100 or more.

Strength and Microstructure of Ceramics.

1987
Abstract : Results of a program on the toughness properties of monophase and two phase ceramics that toughen by bridging are presented. Fracture mechanics models describing this behavior, in the particular context of strength, are developed. Results of strengths tests confirming the essential predictions of the theory are presented.

Development of ceramic microstructures

Microsystem Technologies, 1995
For the production of microstructured ceramic parts, development efforts are necessary in the field of powder synthesis as well as in the area of shaping. Several processes have been developed. Powder synthesis was performed starting from metal organic precursors and using a two stage thermal process.

Microstructural Design of Ceramics

Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics, 2013
A methodological approach to the design of ceramics with predetermined composition and microstructure is proposed. Its fundamental idea is to implement the accumulated knowledge into existing technologies or develop novel science-based technologies. The choice of a known microstructure and the design of a novel one is based on the knowledge accumulated

Microstructure of Ceramic Materials

2013
The properties of ceramics depend on their microstructure, which is defined by the type, size, morphology, distribution, orientation and composition of the phases present and by the interface between the grains. In the latter case, a thick or thin layer of amorphous material may be found, originating from sintering additives. The variables involved can

Studies on microstructure and microproperty of PLZT ceramics

Ferroelectrics, 1988
Abstract The microstructure of PLZT tranparent ferroelectric ceramics were studied by using the HREM techniques and electron diffraction study. The following experimental results were obtained: (1) The structure of micro-domains presented in the cubic α phase is exactly the same structure of its ferroelectric β phase after poling.

Examples of evolution of microstructure in ceramics and composites

Microscopy Research and Technique, 1993
AbstractIn this article we describe a number of studies involving the direct observation of microstructural evolution. In general these investigations were carried out to establish the mechanistic paths involved. The materials studied range from fibers being evaluated for use in high‐temperature ceramic composites to energetic materials used as ...

Ceramic microstructures and properties

Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A: Vacuum, Surfaces, and Films, 1985
Ceramic materials are currently being used in many applications, and it is expected that there are many new applications of ceramics in high-technology engineering systems, e.g., in microelectronics. However, many problems have to be overcome to improve the properties of the different ceramic components.

Microstructure and Properties of ZrB2-Based Ceramics

Journal of Materials Processing & Manufacturing Science, 2000
Microstructure and properties of zirconium diboride based ceramics, sintered without sintering aids and with the addition of 4 wt% of nickel, are evaluated. Although the two powder compositions have been densified by hot pressing, only the presence of Ni allows the achievement of high final densities (98%), while pure ZrB2 presents a residual porosity ...
