The tests are performed using the Vickers and Berkovich indenters on diamond single crystals grown by the temperature gradient method. In the Raman spectra of imprints obtained on the (001) face of diamond, intense photoluminescence bands with a complex shape are found, which complicates the identification of the phonon bands of the sp(2) phase of carbon. The sp(2) phase of carbon in the imprints on the (001) face is reliably revealed only for diamonds of type IIb and only in the case of using the Berkovich indenter. It is found that graphitization during hardness tests on the (001) face of diamond of type IIb is much less than on the (111) face. The recorded photoluminescence with a maximum at about 510 nm can be considered as evidence of the formation of the mixed sp(2)/sp(3) phase of amorphous carbon in the imprints on the (001) face of diamond in the initial stages of graphitization.

The boron carbide-silicon carbide composites reached full density (>99% th. density) at 1950 degrees C and under 50 MPa pressure. Samples were characterized using SEM, XRD, and ultrasound analysis. Density, Vickers hardness, Berkovich hardness and fracture toughness were also evaluated. Ultrasound analysis showed that increasing the sintering temperature and applied pressure increased the elastic modulus, shear, and bulk modulus of the composites. The samples densified at 1950 degrees C under 50 MPa pressure, had 409 GPa elastic modulus, 176 GPa shear modulus, and 203 GPa bulk modulus. With increasing sintering temperature and pressure, the hardness and fracture toughness of the composites also increased. Vickers hardness values dramatically increased from 17.55 GPa (1800 degrees C) to 30.78 GPa (1950 degrees C) with increasing sintering temperature. The highest Berkovich hardness value was obtained as 37.37 GPa in the sample sintered at 1950 degrees C under 50 MPa. The highest calculated fracture toughness values were 2.64 MPa m(1/2) (1950 degrees C under 50 MPa).

The titanium carbide impurity activates the consolidation of silicon carbide and deactivates the consolidation of a mixture of boron and titanium carbides at the initial stage of sintering. The structure and physicomechanical properties of SiC-B4C-(0-15 wt %) TiC materials have been studied. Titanium carbide decelerates the growth of a silicon carbide grain by nearly 3 times to increase the cracking resistance of silicon carbide with the impurities of titanium and boron carbides by 40-45%. A material with a cracking resistance of 6.3 MPa/m(1/2) and an increased wear resistance has been synthesized.

The effect of c-BN addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of (Ti,W)C-based cement tool materials are investigated. With the addition of c-BN, the fracture mode of composite transform from intergranular to transgranular fracture. The main toughening mechanism is particle bridging, crack deflection and crack bifurcation, which improve the fracture toughness of cement tool material. The proper addition of c-BN can improve the mechanical properties of the composites. When the content of c-BN is 1.5 wt %, (Ti,W)C-based cement tool materials reaches the optimum comprehensive mechanical properties. The hardness, the flexural strength and the fracture toughness is 19.78 GPa, 987 MPa and 9.44 MPa m(1/2), respectively.

The optimal (c(VN) = 4%) concentration of vanadium nitride in the matrix of composites sintered in the temperature range of 20-1000 degrees C at a pressure of 30 MPa for 5 min ensures the highest indices of the physicomechanical properties of the composites (R-bm = 1110 MPa and R-cm = 1410 MPa) due to the dispersion mechanism of strengthening and modification of the structure, that is, a decrease in the average grain size, the disappearance of pores, the formation of clusters of the inhibitor phase at the interphase boundaries, and the phase composition of the composites. All sintered samples containing VN powder additives in the charge are characterized by a more uniform distribution of phases and a more dispersed structure compared to a sample without VN additives. The structure of composites containing a VN additive consists of a solid solution of nitrogen and vanadium in alpha-iron and a mixture of Fe, Cu, Ni, and Sn phases and primary and secondary dispersed phases of vanadium nitride.

    查看更多>>摘要:The study of the effect of the processed material structure on the effectiveness of polishing and the roughness of the polished surfaces of optical parts and elements made of glass, sitals, and optical and semiconductor crystals showed that that the productivity of removing the processed material increases linearly with an increase in the size of the sludge particles. The coefficient of bulk wear significantly decreases with increasing energy transfer during the polishing of optical and semiconductor crystals and decreases only slightly with the polishing of optical glass and sitals. The roughness parameters of polished surfaces increase linearly with the distance between the layers of molecular fragments or interplanar distances in the material being processed. The ratio eta/Ra does not depend on the distance between the layers of molecular fragments in amorphous materials and increases linearly with an increase in the interplanar distance in crystals.

It has been shown that the change in the grain composition of the working layer of a wheel has almost no effect on the ratio between Rmax and Ra, and the ratio between Sm and Ra depends on the presence of a mixture of SHM grains in the working layer or on their surface modification. It has been clarified that the average spacing between irregularities Sm under standard conditions grows with an increase in the parameter Ra in all the studied cases. The conditions of forced influence on the cutting layer of a wheels for decreasing the spacing between irregularities Sm with an increase in the parameter Ra are given.
