▼ The main objective of this research was to study the relationship between green density and compaction pressure in powdered
metallurgy.
Powder metallurgy has gained popularity and importance because of its near net shape, cost effectiveness and its ability to reduce the complexity of multileveled engineering components. However,
powder metallurgy poses challenges that are yet to be fully understood. There are many works performed to address challenges such as the effect of friction, the tool kinematics, handling component prior to sintering and fracture under compaction.This work concentrates on the relationship between green density distribution and compaction pressure. In order to measure the relative density of compacted components, Electron Scanning Microscope was utilized. One can intuitively conceive that the relative density requires more than intuition. It was determined that highest relative density occurs at the center of the specimen and reduces toward the die-
powder or punch-
powder boundary. For completeness, the application of artificial neural network (ANN) and finite element (FE) model in estimation of green relative density was studied. The results of this research signify that ANN is an excellent technique to determine the relative density distribution of un-sintered compacted specimen. Moreover, finite element method can accurately estimate the average relative density of compacted specimen.

compact. The model can predict the density distribution results of
single-action compaction from 100 to 500 MPa compaction pressure.
The model can also determine the amount of springback experienced
by a compact upon ejection from the die at 100 and 300 MPa
compaction pressure. An optical densitometry method, along with the
creation of a compaction curve, was used to experimentally predict
density distributions found within compacts, and found results that
were consistent with both literature and finite element simulation.
Further
powder characterization included testing apparent density
and flow rate of the
powder. A literature review was also conducted
and the results of which have been organized by three categories
(
powder type, material model, and finite element code) for easy
reference by future
powder researchers.

▼ Nickel-based Superalloys are widely used in the steam
turbine power generation and aerospace industries. They possess the
desirable qualities of high-temperature strength, oxidation and
corrosion resistance and can operate in some of the highest
temperature ranges of the structural metals. The oxidation
resistance of a Superalloy is achieved primarily through the
formation of a dense alumina and/or chromia oxide layer(s)
including spinels. This resistance has been further improved in
wrought and cast alloys through the addition of reactive elements
such as silicon, yttrium and lanthanum, although the exact effects
of these elements have not been well defined. This project
concentrated on a
powder metallurgy ternary master alloy consisting
of Ni-12Cr-9Fe (w/o) with additions of 6w/o aluminum, 0.5w/o Si,
and 0.1w/o Y, in various combinations. Specifically, the primary
goal was to produce and characterize a PM manufactured nickel-based
Superalloy with minor additions of reactive elements and to assess
the effectiveness of the Si and/or Y in improving the oxidation
resistance. JMatPro modeling software was first used to help
determine temperatures at which various events would occur in the
alloys such as solutionizing and liquation temperatures.
Subsequently green compacts were produced by a press (uni-axially)
and sinter route to create transverse rupture strength bars (TRS
bars). These bars were then thermomechanically deformed using a
Gleeble tester to reduce porosity followed by a heat treatment to
restore a microstructure better suited for high temperature
oxidation. Sectioned TRS bars were then oxidized (static) 900?C in
air for times up to 1000h and the influence of the Si/Y additions
on oxidation resistance was determined via a combination of weight
gain data and microstructural examination. Whereas JMatPro
predicted solutionizing temperature of the compositions studied
(1010°C quaternary; 1020°C quaternary + Si, respectively) these
values were slightly lower than the results observed through DSC
experiments (1045°C quaternary; 1065°C quaternary + Si,
respectively). A w/o ?’ of approximately 25% was predicted by the
modeling tool, but values of 58.3% to 61.7% were determined using a
point count method. Finally, the addition of 0.5w/o Si to the
quaternary Ni-Cr-Fe-Al PM system provided a measureable improvement
in the oxidation resistance both in terms of thickness of oxide
layer and in overall weight gain. Conversely, 0.1w/o Y provided
little benefit, and was shown to be detrimental to alloys not
containing Si.

▼ Biofouling is the settlement and accumulation of microorganisms on the surface of a material submerged in sea water, and most of the time is an unwanted phenomenon and constitutes a financial burden. Titanium is a lightweight high strength metal characterised by good corrosion resistance, better than stainless steel, and would be the ideal material to be used in marine applications. However, biofouling would still happen in structures made out of titanium.
The aim of this study is to gain understanding of the biofouling process to be able to design Ti-based materials with the potential to prevent, or conversely enhance, biofouling, as both scenarios could have relevant industrial applications. In particular, it was planned to manufacture the Ti-based materials via
powder metallurgy to take advantage of the intrinsic benefits of these techniques which include the freedom of designing new alloys, without the limits imposed by binary phase diagrams.
From literature, it was found that Cu and Mn could have respectively, the ability to reduce or promote biofouling. Therefore, various binary Ti-xCu and Ti-yMn compositions, where x = 0.5%, 2.5%, 5%, and y = 1%, 5%, 10%, were targeted and successfully manufactured via the conventional
powder metallurgy route of cold uniaxial pressing plus vacuum sintering, obtaining fully homogeneous materials.
It is well known that residual porosity is still present in sintered Ti-based materials, and for that the binary Ti-xCu and Ti-yMn alloys were also a thermomechanical process via forging. This hot deformation process should reduce the amount of residual porosity, but it can also be used to tailor the microstructure, and thus the mechanical behaviour, which is paramount for many industrial applications. Along this line, it was decided to investigate the effect of the forging temperature (i.e. of the starting microfeatures) and thus forging from the β and within the α+β region was considered.
From the characterisation performed, the Ti-5Cu and Ti-5Mn alloys were chosen as the most promising alloys for the investigation of the antifouling and biofouling capability of the binary Ti-xCu and Ti-yMn alloys developed

▼ TiH2
powder has been trialled as an alternative to Ti-
powder to fabricate titanium-based products. To enhance the utilization of TiH2
powder, further understanding of the dehydrogenation mechanism of TiH2, the effect of hydrogen on dehydrogenated and equal channel angular pressed (ECAP) samples and on the fabrication of titanium matrix composites (TMC) is critical.This research work analysed the phase transformation steps of TiH2 to Ti using high-temperature X-Ray Diffraction with the dehydrogenation step occurring under both isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. Crystallographic data was obtained through Rietveld analysis. Results showed that, with increasing temperature expansion occurred, which was negated by the phase transformations due to dehydrogenation. The sequence of TiH2 phase transformations were: delta−>delta’−>beta−>beta’−>alpha−>alpha’-phase. Further confirmation of the mechanistic steps was obtained through thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction studies. The dehydrogenation reaction of compacted TiH2
powder was investigated in terms of four parameters, namely, heating rates, compaction pressures, temperatures and times, in order to optimize the dehydrogenation process. The hydrogen loss and bulk density decreased with increasing heating rate while the density and hardness improved with the increasing in temperature and time. TMCs were fabricated using TiH2
powder containing SiC or TiB2 as the reinforcement. In samples with SiC, when the sintering temperature was increased, the density, hardness and the reaction layer (TixSiyCz layer) were found to increase. However, the density and hardness decreased when TiB2
powder content increased. Hardness values were affected by the H2 content in the matrix and the reinforcement.Back-pressure ECAP on sintered TiH2 samples was carried out at 590°C using route C, where the sample is rotated 180° with focus on the hydrogen effect. Density of the ECAP samples reduced when the hydrogen content was increased. The presence of hydrogen improved the hardness and tensile strength, but the ductility was lowered. Dehydrogenation is very crucial step for TiH2
powder because of the phase transition from delta−>beta−>alpha-titanium, which is a critical step in the fabrication of TMC and titanium alloys from TiH2
powder.

▼ The contribution of plastic flow to overall densification of a powder compact during hot-pressing has been analysed. The basis of this analysis is the incorporation of hot-working characteristics of materials at elevated temperatures into an equation applicable to hot-pressing conditions. The empirical equation relating steady state
strain rate to stress is ἐ = Aσn and for the densification of a
powder compact, the strain rate [formula omitted]
The particles are assumed to be spheres and four different packing geometric configurations: cubic, orthorhombic, rhombic dodecahedron and b.c.c. are considered. Taking into consideration the effective stress acting at the points of contact, the equations for the strain rate can be combined and arranged into another equation which is shown below:[formula omitted]
where α₁ and ϐ are geometric constants and can be calculated from the
packing geometry. 'A' and 'n' are material constants. D is the relative
density of the compact, and ‘R’ is the radius of sphere at any stage of
deformation in arbitrary units.
Computerized plots of D vs t were obtained for lead-2% antimony,
nickel and alumina. Experimental verification of these plots was carried
out using hot-pressing data for lead-2% antimony, nickel and alumina
spheres. The hot-compaction experiments were carried out over a range
of temperatures for each material and under different pressures.
The experimental data fitted well with the theoretical prediction
for the orthorhombic model. However, a deviation at the initial stage
of compaction was encountered in most cases. This deviation was
explained on the basis of the contribution to densification by
particle movement or rearrangement at the initial stage, which could
not be taken into account in the theoretical derivation.
The stress concentration factor i.e., the effective stress acting at necks between particles has been calculated. This was found to be
very much higher than that previously used by other workers. The
theoretical equation for the effective stress is [formula omitted].
This equation predicts an effective stress, which is more than an order of magnitude higher than that predicted by several empirical equations used previously.

▼ The desire to produce functional powder metallurgy (PM) components has resulted in higher compression forces during compaction. This in turn increases the ejection stresses and therefore the possibility of failure during ejection. This failure can be caused by sprig back during ejection due to frictional forces that are generated between the powder part and the die walls. In order to predict these factors a stress analysis of the powder part during ejection was done. Due to complexity, finite element analysis was used to model the powder during compaction and ejection. Since the ejection stage is the most critical stage of the PM process, it is essential to understand the factors that determine the survivability of a part during this stage. This work uses experimental data, finite element modeling and reliability analysis to determine the probability of failure of metallic powder components during the ejection phase. The results show that there is an increased possibility of failure during ejection as compaction pressure is increased. This information can be used by designers and process planners to determine the optimal process parameters that need to be adopted for optimal outcomes during powder metallurgy.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Ti-6Al-4V is a widely used titanium alloy within the aerospace and medical industry with
powder metallurgy (PM) becoming a fast growing industry within. The press-and-sinter technique is one such PM process that can be used to manufacture parts. In order to improve mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances and machinability, ferrous PM press-and-sintered parts are often infiltrated with molten Cu during the sintering heat treatment process. This project investigates the feasibility of infiltrating sintered Ti-6Al-4V compacts with molten Al, in order to improve its properties.
Two Ti-6Al-4V
powder blends were mixed, namely a blended elemental (BE) blend consisting of elemental Ti, Al and V
powder in a 90:6:4 wt% ratios and a master alloy (CPTi+MA) blend consisting of commercially pure Ti (CPTi)
powder with a master alloy (MA)
powder of Al and V mixed in a 90:10 wt% ratio. These
powder blends were compacted in 10 mm right cylinders with a relative green density (ρg) of approximately 75%. The compacts were sintered under high vacuum at temperatures of 1100 ºC and 1200 ºC, respectively, to achieve relative sintered densities (ρs) of < 92%. At ρs > 92 %, open pore channels close off preventing infiltration. Infiltration disks were compacted from pure Al spherical
powder. The mass of the disks was calculated by taking the residual porosity of the sintered Ti-6Al-4V compacts, and providing enough molten Al to infiltrate the pores exactly. Infiltration took place under a nitrogen atmosphere at various temperatures between 700 °C - 900 °C, above Al melting point (660.6 ºC) to ensure melting, and for various dwell times. Slices of wrought Al bar stock were also evaluated for infiltration. Neither the Al
powder compacts nor the wrought Al slices melted, with the result that all attempts to infiltrate the Ti-6Al-4V with Al failed. Characterization of the sintered and infiltrated samples was performed. Optical microscopy as well as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis was used to view the microstructures and elemental distribution in the microstructures, respectively. From these analyses, it was confirmed that infiltration with Al did not occur for any of the samples. CPTi+MA samples showed, on average a change in relative density from 74.5% to 90.2%, while BE samples showed negligible change from 73.6% to 74.9% relative density. The microstructure of both blends were observed with the CPTi+MA having a ɑ+β microstructure; while the BE having a predominantly ɑ-microstructure.
EDS imaging for the CPTi+MA samples showed a fairly homogenous elemental distribution for both sintering temperatures. The BE blends showed an inhomogenous distribution at both sintering temperatures. Large pores were visible as Al particles melted and diffused into Ti and V, leaving high Al concentrations surrounding the pores. The results indicate that Ti and V diffuse into the Al disks during the infiltration heat treatment process, raising the melting temperature of the Al disks. By observing the concentration of Ti…

▼ A novel method of producing die compacted
powder
metallurgy components with fully en-closed internal structures was
developed. The physical characteristics of the compacts were
evaluated by measuring bulk density, internal density gradients and
compressive green strength. Additionally, a finite element
simulation was developed to evaluate the compaction process of the
internal structure compact. The internal structure compact
displayed the anticipated lower bulk densities due to the less
dense internal structure than a conventional
powder metallurgy
compact, however; higher local densities were found within the
internal structure compact at all compaction pressures. Compressive
green strength characteristics showed unique results where the
strength in-creased up to 300 MPa compaction pressure, however; at
400 MPa there was a distinct plat-eau in green strength. This
phenomenon was attributed to an increase in differential shear
stress around the internal structure with a minimal increase in
density from 300 MPa to 400 MPa.

▼ Spark plasma sintering (SPS) of air atomized aluminum
powders was conducted in a fundamental investigation of processing
and chemical effects on physical and mechanical properties. Five
air atomized aluminum powders, one of commercial purity, one
magnesium-doped (0.4 wt%), one iron-doped (1.0 wt%), one
nickel-doped (1.0 wt%) and one iron (1.0 wt%) and nickel-doped (1.0
wt%) were processed by SPS means. Where applicable, powders were
also processed by conventional
powder metallurgy (PM). An
investigation of SPS processing parameters and their effect on
sinter quality were of primary concern. Applied pressure and
ultimate processing temperature bore the greatest influence on
processing, while heating rate and hold time showed a minor effect.
Full density specimens were achieved for both powders under select
processing conditions. To compliment this, large (80 mm) and small
(20 mm) diameter samples were made to observe possible up-scaling
effects, as well as tensile properties. Large samples were
successfully processed, albeit with somewhat inferior densities to
the smaller counterparts presumably due to the temperature
inhomogeneity during processing. An investigation into tensile
properties for SPS samples exhibited extensive ductility (~30%) at
high sintering temperatures, while lower temperature SPS samples as
well as all conventional PM processed samples exhibited a brittle
nature. The measurement of residual oxygen and hydrogen contents
showed a significant elimination of both species in SPS samples
under certain processing parameters when compared to conventional
PM equivalents. None of the transition metal additions had an
overtly negative impact on SPS response. As such, all powders were
successfully processed to the full density condition provided that
an appropriate minimum SPS temperature was employed. Hardness
improved as the net concentration of transition metals increased
and was found to be greatest in the Al-Fe-Ni ternary
powder (78
HRH). Microstructural coarsening was apparent in all alloys as a
result of SPS processing. However, the consolidated products
maintained desirable microstructures comprised of homogenous
distributions of sub-micron intermetallics such as Al9FeNi, Al13Fe4
and AlNi3.

▼ Powder metallurgy (P/M) is recognized as one of the
most important manufacturing processes for making several
industrial products. The production of powder metallurgy parts has
been expanding at a significantly faster rate because of the
advantages associated with it. The advantages include compositional
flexibility, minimized segregation, ability to produce graded
microstructures with varying physical and mechanical properties,
quality, cost, precision, productivity, optimized material
utilization, etc. The production of components from HSLA steel has
been in the past through the conventional routes such as metal
casting, forming and forging. Casting the metal into billets and
machining the components from the billets and bringing them to
standard size blocks and required shapes where energy intensive
process that produced large amounts of scrap with material utility
ranging from 50% to 80%. Fine machining, grinding and lapping
operations made this components highly non competitive on the
economic front. Keeping this in mind, in the present investigation,
it is envisaged to adapt P/M route coupled with certain
conventional process to produce components in close tolerance with
the design. It is necessary to investigate the fundamentals,
involved in preparing suitable preforms, sintering them at well
specified temperature for a length of time and then forging them at
newlinespecified temperature. Tests for evaluating the mechanical
properties of the newlinespecimens will be performed in order to
understand the constraints and newlinesuitable components can be
manufactured economically. The main objective of this present
research work is to develop the newlineHSLA steels. The powder
mixes of HSLA steels were prepared from the newlineelemental
powders such as manganese, chromium and molybdenum. Three
newlinedifferent compositions of AISI 4140 steel powder mixes were
mixed in a pot newlinemill for the period of 12 hours at room
temperature. newline

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research focusses on the press-and-sinter manufacturing process through which titanium powders are employed to produce dense titanium and the Ti-6Al-4V alloy; more specifically, the influence of particle size distribution (PSD) on the densification behaviour and material properties are investigated.
Commercially pure (CP) titanium powders of -100 and -200 mesh sizes were blended in various proportions and used to conduct compressibility and sintering studies. To produce Ti-6Al-4V, a -200 mesh 60Al-40V master alloy (MA)
powder was additionally blended with the CP titanium powders. Powders and
powder blend were characterised using scanning electron microscopy and laser diffraction.
A vast array of specimens was produced while varying the following production parameters: aspect ratio, compaction pressure, sintering time and sintering temperature. Aspect ratios of cylindrical specimens were varied to produce thin disks (1:3), as well as square (1:1) and long (3:2) cylinders.
Compaction pressures were varied from 200 MPa to 600 MPa using double action compaction. Sintering was conducted under high vacuum (<10-4 mbar, or better) with sintering temperatures ranging from 1000°C to 1300°C; typical holding times were two hours, with certain specimens being re-sintered to four, and up to six hours.
From the results of the compressibility and sintering studies, a baseline densification pathway was elected: compaction at 400 MPa followed by sintering at 1300°C for two hours. This allowed meaningful comparison of the behaviour of different
powder blends. Several CP titanium and MA Ti-6Al-4V
powder blends of known weight compositions were considered by creating a model using the precursor
powder PSD data to predict the blended
powder PSDs.
A few promising CP and MA blends were prepared and specimens were produced according to the elected baseline process. The densification behaviour was studied at each process step. Densification trends similar to those indicated in literature for bimodal
powder blends were found for the CP titanium blends; however, the effect of the MA
powder alloying addition was dominant in the case of the MA Ti-6Al-4V blends’ densification behaviour.
Mechanical properties were tested using three point bending and Vickers hardness (HV10), respectively. Transverse rupture bar specimens were pressed (400 MPa) and showed either brittle or ductile fracture after being sintered for two hours at either 1000°C or 1300°C, respectively. The thermal conductivity of specific specimens was measured and showed that the thermal conductivity of sintered titanium is lower than that of the equivalent wrought material. The sintered microstructure of various specimens was investigated to gain insight into differences in pore structures among the blend compositions. A vast range of densification results has been put forth from which to extract data for future research.
Recommended future work would include: the procurement of tooling for tensile test specimens, a redesign of the thermal conductivity…

▼ Ultrasonic powder consolidation (UPC) is a novel rapid, full-density powder consolidation process in which metal powders confined in a die under uniaxial loading is subjected to ultrasonic vibration at low temperature for a few seconds or less. In this research, copper powders with dendritic and spherical morphologies and an aluminum powder with spherical morphology were subjected to UPC under various conditions to investigate the effects of the process variables on the densification and metallurgical bonding of the compact. An ultrasonic washing test, developed in this research, was used to determine the extent of densification and bonding achieved in specimens consolidated under systematically varied UPC conditions. Hardness testing was also employed as a supplementary means for the assessment of compact density in both as-consolidated and ultrasonically washed states. The degree of metallurgical bonding was also qualitatively assessed from the fracture surfaces of manually broken specimens.; With the dendritic and spherical copper powders, the minimum consolidation temperature, time and uniaxial pressure required for nearly full densification were determined to be 450 °C, 4 s and 84 MPa, respectively. The best conditions were 500 °C, 4 s and 100 MPa for both copper powders. Dendritic-powder specimens exhibited better densification and bonding than spherical-powder specimens above 450 °C. However, below 450 °C, the spherical powder produced better results, due probably to its higher packing geometry and repacking under the ultrasonic vibrations. With the spherical aluminum powder, specimens with best densification and bonding were obtained under the conditions of 400 °C, 2.5 s and 80 MPa.; Compact densification generally requires a good amount of powder deformation. In UPC, this occurs very quickly in a fraction of a second if consolidation temperature is sufficiently high. However, a high degree of compact densification does not necessarily assure good metallurgical bonding. Bonding must be preceded by the formation of nascent metal-to-metal contact of powder particles, which requires good compact densification. Thus, densification is only a necessary condition for bonding. For the copper compacts, metallurgical bonding, at a given temperature, increased with increasing consolidation time, indicating that bonding is a thermally activated (diffusional) process. Densification of dendritic powder produced more fresh metal surface and hence higher degrees of bonding. The bonding in the aluminum compacts, however, followed densification more closely, reflecting the higher homologuos temperatures (up to 0.72 of the melting point in K).

▼ Nickel-based superalloys see wide use in applications requiring high strengths at high temperatures, notably in the blades of gas turbines. An important contributor to this superior high-temperature strength is the presence of Gamma Prime precipitates.
This project characterizes the behaviour of a PM nickel-based superalloy consisting of Ni-12Cr-9Fe (w/o) with the addition of 6w/o Al and 0.5w/o Si to refine prediction of precipitate size, improving control of the material properties.
The solutionization temperature of Gamma Prime in this alloy was modeled using JMatPro sofware (1040?C), and verified using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (1092?C). Precise temperature control was found to be more important to control material properties than exact ageing times. Using an Atomic Force Microscope, precipitates in the nanometer range were imaged, and analysed using ImageJ software. A thermo-mechanical deformation procedure increased sample density slightly (5.3%), and is limited to 30% deformation.

▼ The mechanical properties of components made by PM steels are normally inferior to those made by alternative processes. One of the main reasons is that a large amount of pores are present in sintered components. The other main reason is that the alloying elements, particularly Ni, are not uniformly distributed after conventional sintering procedures. This work is aimed at a better understanding of the influence of alloying additions on mechanical properties and homogeneity of the microstructure. The experimental work has been carried out in two trials. Trial 1 was performed to investigate mechanical properties of Distaloy powders (commercial grades) and second trial to examine influence of alloying additions on homogeneity of microstructure. For trial 1, as-sintered and heat treated specimens were produced by mixing commercial powders with two different carbon levels. Whereas, alloying elements were admixed to base iron powder for producing sintered specimens for trial 2. Mechanical properties including dimensional changes, micro-hardness, tensile strength and impact resistance were measured. Distribution of alloying elements was studied using LOM and SEM-EDS analysis. The results obtained show that additions of alloying elements enhance the mechanical properties. Moreover, interaction of C with Cu and Ni as well as interaction between Cu and Ni have a deceive role in determining final properties of the components. The metallographic investigation indicated that major reasons of heterogeneous microstructure are slow diffusion of Ni in Fe matrix and interaction of other alloying elements with Ni. The results of trial 2 showed that addition of Mo and Cu to Ni-containing PM steels improves the distribution of Ni in Fe matrix. Mo results in improved uniformity of microstructure by lowering the chemical potential of carbon. In Ni and Cu containing alloys, the interaction between Ni and Cu is responsible for enhanced distribution of Ni. However, the improved Ni distribution is achieved at the expense of non-uniform distribution of Cu. In Ni-containing PM steels, improved microstructure homogenization can be attained by increasing Ni-Cu interaction, lowering the surface energy of Ni-Cu liquid and decreasing the chemical potential of carbon.

▼ One of the popular manufacturing process in industry is the rapid sintering, however, due to the limited time, there always exists thermal gradient inside. This thermal gradient has deterministic effect on the microstructure of the greenware and hence the quality of the final product. Therefore, in order to understand this complex process, the first step is study its heat transfer behavior. Since thermal radiation is the dominant mode of energy transport, it is important to understand its behavior. In this work, the greenware is modeled as a system of uniform sized packed sphere. The objective of this work is to develop the basis ground for computing the temperature solution. A non-statistical ray tracing scheme has been developed for studying different packed sphere system such as specular, diffuse and directional reflecting spheres. Also, an two-objective functions typed inversion scheme has been setup for accurately capture the system properties of the system. Due to the fact that the microstructure has direct effect on the final product's quality. In this study, it is also taken care. A random packing algorithm has been developed to study the microstructural behavior - the mean coordination number and the mean contact area, of the packed structure.

▼ Ni-Mn-X (X – Ga, Sn, In, Sb) based ferromagnetic Heusler alloys are deemed to be multiferroic materials with the multiferroicity realized by engineering reversibility through composition tuning, of an inherent first-order diffusionless martensitic phase transformation and a second-order magnetic transition accompanying the first with the application of an electromagnetic field. Martensitic phase transformation transforms high-temperature austenite phase to low-temperature martensite phase while magnetic transition changes the electromagnetic ordering in the phases. The engineered reversibility of the magnetostructural transformations is brought with remarkable functional changes such as change in entropy, saturation magnetization, strain recovery, etc. that offer great scope for applications. There are examples in literature of such alloys with great potential for magnetic refrigeration by virtue of a giant entropy change, or with potential for magnetic shape memory effect because of giant magnetic field-induced strains. However, the most interesting characteristics of these alloys is their ability in the conversion of waste heat into electricity on account of the sudden thermally induced surge in saturation magnetization around the phase transformation, suitably utilized to generate electricity. A majority of these ferromagnetic Heusler alloys have been synthesised by liquid processing method of arc/induction-melting of high purity elements in a controlled environment usually followed by annealing. Synthesis procedures which are a sequel to arc/induction melting such as rapid solidification by melt-spinning, directional solidification etc. are also prevalent. Solid processing through
powder metallurgy is sparsely employed on pre-alloyed powders of these alloys and not elemental powders even though use of elemental powders is advantageous for reasons such as good compaction characteristics and ease of obtaining new alloy compositions through precise control of stoichiometry. Ferromagnetic Heusler alloys of compositions discussed herein are meant to transform martensitically and vice versa, irrespective of the way they are synthesized. Do these alloys necessarily have to be synthesized through liquid processing? The question is broader in concept and the lack of literature on solid processed ferromagnetic shape memory Heusler alloys provided scope for investigation of the feasibility of adopting conventional pressure-less sintering process as a cost-effective alternative to casting. This research therefore endeavoured to explore the feasibility of solid processing of ferromagnetic Heusler alloys through conventional sintering using elemental powders. The starting composition was Ni45Co5Mn40Sn10. The choice of composition was the singular magnetostructural behaviour at phase transformation of the cast composition that drove its potential as an energy material similar to or even better than thermoelectric materials. Two sets of alloys were prepared – a quinary Ni45Co5Mn40(Sn,Cu)10 and quaternary Ni45Co5Mn40Sn10 using…

▼ Over the past few decades, the automotive industry has seen a steady increase in the amount of
powder metallurgy products that have been included in modern vehicles. The majority of the parts were cold press and sintered products that allowed for a high production volume and low cost option. In more recent years, the
powder metallurgy parts have seen service as structural parts mainly consisting of steel base products. The mechanical and dynamic properties of four lightweight materials produced by
powder metallurgy and additive manufactured are tested to determine if they are suitable to be used in a structural part within an internal combustion engine. The research concluded that an additive manufactured titanium material was the only tested material that met or exceeded the current requirements for strength to be a suitable material. The selected material showed low porosity that resulted in suitable fatigue and mechanical properties for a possible substation of the reference material.

▼ Ultrasonic powder consolidation (UPC) is a new technique capable of producing full-density consolidates from powders in a few seconds or less, and at temperatures substantially below the melting temperature which is not possible by conventional powder consolidation techniques. The objectives of this work was to investigate the fundamental mechanisms involved in ultrasonic powder consolidation (UPC) and its application to alloy powders, with particular interest in producing wear-resistant coatings on die surfaces.; To explore the mechanisms of the powder compact densification and metallurgical bond formation in UPC, a systematic series of experiments were done with Al-Cu and Al-Ti powder mixtures. The Al-Cu specimens that were consolidated at 400 °C and 500 °C were fully densified and metallurgically intact. The specimens subjected to ultrasonic vibration at 400 °C and 500 °C for 2 s or longer also exhibited a reaction zone at the Al-Cu interface. Al4Cu9, AlCu and Al2Cu were identified by X-ray diffraction as the intermetallic compounds that formed in the reaction zone between the Cu particles and the Al matrix. Reference specimens compacted at 500 °C under identical conditions but without ultrasonic vibration were not fully dense nor metallurgically intact and had no reaction zones. XRD also confirmed Al3Ti compound formation in Al-Ti specimens ultrasonically consolidated from ball milled and annealed Al-Ti composite powder. The rapid powder consolidation and compound formation in Al-Cu and Al-Ti are discussed in terms of effects of excess vacancies on diffusion, phase stability and dynamic recovery in materials deforming at high train rate.; Successful simultaneous consolidation and bonding of mechanically alloyed SKD61 and yttria nanoparticle composite powder on a die steel substrate was achieved. Optimizing pre-annealing and UPC conditions resulted in densifications close to 100% in nanometal layers and their simultaneous bonding on SKD61 substrates. Hardening of the consolidated specimens at 1015 °C for 1 hour and quenching them in Ar gas flow hardened the nanometal layer to about 830 HV and the SKD61 substrate to about 715 HV. The results confirm that UPC can provide a novel method for the production of forging dies hardfaced with wear-resistant composites.

▼ Magnesium and its alloys are attractive for use in
automotive and aerospace applications because of their low density
and good mechanical properties. However, difficulty in forming
magnesium and the limited number of available commercial alloys
limit their use.
Powder metallurgy (P/M) can be used to alleviate
the formability problem through near-net-shape processing. The
surface layer on Mg powders acts as a barrier to diffusion and
sintering is problematic. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)
was used to identify the composition of the layer, as well as a
focused ion beam (FIB) process for obtaining thin films was
utilized to prepare samples for analysis with transmission electron
microscopy (TEM). Sintering of pure magnesium compacts has been
studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which
identified several decomposition reactions during heating. It was
also found that alloying additions of calcium and yttrium promote
surface layer disruption during sintering by DSC measurements and
testing indicates improved mechanical properties.

▼ TerraPower LLC is designing a fast breed and burn reactor intended to operate for up to 40 years without refueling, designated as the Travelling Wave Reactor (TWR). Various U-Zr alloy fuel designs have been proposed for the TWR that may require a
powder feed for fabrication. A simple and economic option for laboratory scale
powder production is the Rotating Electrode Process (REP), which produces microsphere shaped
powder by melting the tip of a rotating bar with an electric arc. In order to fully characterize this process for various U-Zr alloys and provide the feed material for testing fabrication techniques, a Rotating Electrode System (RES) was designed and built.
The RES is largely based on a combination of two designs; an early REP system developed by Starmet Corporation in the 19xxa and a later design optimized for U-Mo
powder production by Idaho National Laboratory (INL). The RES designed for this work was improved based on input from vendors specializing in their respective areas of expertise and is capable of atomizing up to a 1.26 cm diameter metal alloy rod at 40,000 RPM. Every component of the machine can be disassembled and transferred through a 35.56 cm (14 in) diameter air lock of a glovebox so that it can operate in a controlled environment.
The RES was tested by atomizing various diameter copper rods to prove system functionality. The tests were carried out in air using an argon cover gas in the
powder collection chamber, known as the catch pan to limit oxidation rates of the newly generated microspheres. The
powder produced showed strong sphericity ranging from 50 µm to 500 µm in diameter. Problems and areas of concern that were encountered during operation have been addressed so that the RES can be further optimized to better atomize U-Zr alloys once transferred into the glovebox.

▼ Ultrasonic powder consolidation (UPC) is a novel, low-temperature, rapid powder consolidation process, capable of producing full-density materials from powders in a few seconds.; The objective of this work was to investigate the phase evolution in a Cu-Zn powder mixture subjected to UPC in comparison with that in other high-strain rate materials processing methods such as ball milling. Systematic UPC experiments were performed with a Cu-48 wt% Zn powder mixture at nominal consolidation temperatures of 25 °C to 300 °C, using 20 kHz, 9 µm-amplitude ultrasonic vibration applied to the powder compact for a duration of 1 to 4 s. Optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction revealed the formation of γ-brass at the interface of Cu and Zn powder particles in the samples consolidated at or above 200 °C. The γ-brass formation increased with increasing consolidation temperature and vibration time and approached 70 vol% in a sample consolidated at 300 °C for 4 s. No new phase formed in a reference sample made at 300 °C but with no vibration, despite the close contact between Cu and Zn achieved in the reference sample.; The γ-brass formation in the UPC samples is contrasted by the direct formation of β-brass in ball-milled composite powders of the Cu-48 wt% Zn composition. The phase selection in UPC is governed by the local state at the Cu-Zn interface. The high excess vacancies generated at the Cu-Zn interface enhance the interdiffusion at the Cu-Zn interface by many orders of magnitude, allowing the interfacial Cu and Zn concentrations to exceed the normal solubility limits before a new phase can nucleate. This, in turn, increases the driving force for the nucleation of γ-brass at the Cu-Zn interface. The driving for β-brass nucleation does not increase as much because of the large solubility of Zn in Cu.; Adding a pre-UPC step, such as a heat treatment or ball milling for a very short time (before any new phase formation is detectable), facilities β-brass nucleation which then grows in subsequent UPC. This shows the feasibility of β-brass production from elemental powders in a two-step UPC process.

▼ The purpose of this work is to enhance simulations of powder compaction by predicting the air entrapment mechanism. A previous numerical solution predicted the entrapped air pressure of a one dimensional compact. This work expands on this previous solution to produce a model that predicts the entrapped air pressure of a compact in two dimensions. By increasing the model to two dimensions, a more accurate estimate of entrapped air was produced. Additional insights on the mechanism of air entrapment were explored. The effects of compaction speed and the size of the punch-die gap on the entrapped air pressure were studied. Pre-compression was also modeled and the effects of the pre-compression relative density and the rest period were determined.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
Powder metallurgy (PM) describes a group of manufacturing technologies whereby fine metallic powders are consolidated to create engineering
components. The most widely used PM technology is the press-and-sinter process, used to manufacture ferrous alloys. Ferrous PM is frequently
sinter-infiltrated with copper (Cu) in order to improve the materials machinability. During sinter-infiltration, molten copper infiltrates the inherently porous PM structure, filling the pores and creating a more dense,
less porous material. Residual Cu, from incomplete infiltration, is a common defect in copper infiltrated PM parts. This project investigates the
parameters of sinter-infiltration that are critical to successful infiltration and the production of high-quality Cu infiltrated ferrous PM alloys.
Common reasons for poor infiltration include incomplete delubrication prior to sintering, and inadequate furnace atmosphere and temperature control. Both
of these aspects can introduce impurities into the material during the sintering process, which inhibits efficient infiltration and sintering. This study focuses
specifically on the influence of delubrication and furnace control on the sinter-infiltrated material quality.
A proprietary copper-infiltrated ferrous PM alloy, with specified processing parameters, is used for this study. A systematic evaluation of both the delubrication and copper-infiltration processes is presented. In order to
perform this evaluation, it was necessary to implement control of the furnace temperature and atmosphere. As such, an extensive overhaul of the furnace at Stellenbosch University, with particular attention given to both the
electrical and process gas flow systems, was performed and the details are presented in this study.
The results of the study indicate that in order to successfully perform good quality sinter-infiltration of the proprietary alloy with copper, different process gas atmospheres are required in the furnace for the delubrication and
sintering steps, respectively. During delubrication, a reducing atmosphere of 80:20 vol% N2:H2 with a dewpoint of 8 °C must be maintained. During
sintering an atmosphere composition of 80:20 vol% N2:H2 must be maintained with a low dewpoint of -35 °C. For the cooling of the samples an atmosphere composition of 95:5 vol% N2:H2 was used.
Furthermore, a detailed metallographic analysis of the consecutive stages of copper infiltration, over the temperature range of 1070 to 1130 °C was
conducted. The results of which show how the interaction between Cu and Mn in the alloy significantly influences the melting and infiltration behaviour.
This research provides valuable insight into the high sensitivity of the copper infiltration process to furnace atmosphere control, as well as the advantage
of understanding the detailed interaction between different alloying elements in the PM material during copper infiltration. Insight leads to the ability to control the process and to design for good quality copper infiltration during

▼ Ultrasonic powder consolidation (UPC) is a novel, low-temperature, rapid powder consolidation process being investigated at the Advanced Materials Processing Laboratory (AMPL), in which a powder compact to be consolidated is pressed under a uniaxial force, heated to a moderately low temperature (normally, < 0.5 Tm), and subjected to ultrasonic vibration for only a few seconds to create full-density, metallurgical bonded bulk materials. In the present study, UPC experiments were performed with a water-atomized copper powder to investigate the progress of powder compact densification and metallurgical bonding under systematically varied consolidation parameters: temperature and time. The extent of powder compact densification was determined on as-polished cross sections of consolidated specimens. The metallurgical bonding in the powder compacts was assessed on polished specimen surfaces subjected to an ultrasonic washing test, also developed at AMPL, in which a polished specimen surface is subjected to ultrasonic waves in water to remove powder particles that are not bonded well.; Image analysis on photomicrographs of as-polished and ultrasonically washed powder compacts showed that both compact densification and particle bonding increased with increasing consolidation temperature and time and that the metallurgical bonding lagged behind the compact densification. At a nominal consolidation temperature of 500 °C, full densification was achieved in 3 s, whereas 4 s were needed to achieve good metallurgical bonding. Delays of metallurgical bonding to similar degrees were observed at the consolidation temperatures of 300 - 600 °C that were investigated, suggesting that UPC is a 2-step process of compact densification followed by metallurgical bonding.; Compact densification progressed as the inter-particle regions were filled with 'debris' from parent particles that rubbed against each other under the applied ultrasonic vibration. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) revealed that the debris-filled inter-particle regions consisted of copper and a very small amount of oxygen, indicating that the debris did come from the parent copper particles. The debris had ragged interfaces with their parent particles and contained nano-sized voids. Local melting at the particle surface, possibly by strain-induced melting point depression, might produce bits of liquid that solidified into the debris.; The debris-filled inter-particle regions decreased with increasing consolidation temperature and/or time as they became integral parts of the consolidated material. Full metallurgical bonding was attained when the debris-filled inter-particle regions were completely transformed to well-defined grains by recrystallization and coarsening under imposed ultrasonic vibration. The extra time required for the transformation of the inter-particle debris to the well-defined grains accounts for the lag of the metallurgical bonding behind the compact densification.

▼ The Selective Inhibition Sintering (SIS) process is an
additive manufacturing (AM) technology which builds parts on a
layer-by-layer basis. The principle idea of the SIS process is
based on the prevention of selected segments of each
powder layer
from sintering. The purpose of this research is to investigate the
fundamentals of the Selective Inhibition Sintering (SIS) process
for the fabrication of metallic parts. A SIS-Metal process has been
developed based on the microscopic mechanical inhibition principle.
In this process the inhibitor, which is a salt solution or a
carbohydrate solution (sucrose), is printed in the selected areas
of each metal
powder layer; the salt re-crystallizes when water
evaporates under moderate heat; salt crystals decompose to second
phase metal oxide during the sintering cycle; the decomposed solid
particles cover the surface of affected metal
powder particles and
exert a retarding force on the surface movement and prevent the
sintering. This thesis presents the results of the conducted
research on the inhibition mechanism and control of the SIS
process. Experimental results are also presented to demonstrate the
capability of the process in fabricating metallic parts with
various geometries. The SIS-Metal process has numerous advantages
including low cost, minimal shrinkage and deformation effects and
independence from polymeric binders which cause shrinkage and
adverse effect on sintering furnace. The factors affecting the
SIS-Metal process based on microscopic mechanical inhibition are
investigated. By the aid of response surface methodology the
effective factors are evaluated to improve the part strength,
surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the parts made with the
SIS-Metal process.

▼ This thesis details the investigation relating to the production method and mechanical properties of two types of aluminium/silicon carbide composites. These materials are manufactured using specialised
powder metallurgy (P/M) techniques, which includes mixing/milling,
powder compaction, sintering and hot extrusion. The first type of composite utilises pure aluminium as the matrix, whilst the other type uses matrix consist of aluminium and in-situ oxide particles, namely sintered aluminium
powder (SAP). The second type of composite combines silicon carbon particles with very small in-situ oxide particulates inside the aluminium matrix, creating a dual reinforcement system. These composites are not often characterised in literature as the fabrication process is very challenging, particularly using P/M methods. Therefore, this work offers rare insight into aluminium composites with a combination of different size reinforcement particles, which is important in establishing more novel aluminium based composites.Composites with nearly full density (> 99% theoretical density) were successfully produced via this method. The unreinforced aluminium specimens were relatively easy to extrude and defect-free extrusions can be produced in a range of parameters. The composite material not only required a higher extrusion load, but also produced a small amount of surface defects resulting sub-optimal surface finishing. A suitable remedy is to use aluminium foil or an aluminium disc in front of the extrusion for the composite material. The foil or disc acts a solid lubricant for the hard composite material, which significantly improves the surface finishing. Using this method, crack free extrusions can be obtained at reinforcement contents up to 30 volume percent silicon carbide.Microstructural analysis using optical and electron microscopies shows the particle dispersion in the material is relative homogenous. However, particle banding and alignment are observed along the extrusion direction of the specimens. Transmission electron microscope analysis shows the particle/matrix interface is free of any major reaction, but a small layer of inter-diffusion occurred between silicon and aluminium. The sub-structure of the material adjacent to the silicon carbide particle is observed to be sub-micron. This can be related to particle –assisted nucleation during extrusion and possibly the effect of high dislocation density near the particle-matrix interface, which produces a very fine structure. Mechanical testing showed the composite reinforced with silicon carbide (1200 mesh, 13 micron) possessed a significant improvement in mechanical strength and stiffness as compared to the unreinforced material. The improvement did not diminish with increasing in reinforcement volume fraction, but follows a linear trend. This increase is related to the load transfer from the matrix to the reinforcement, the generation of thermal dislocations (which is related to the difference in co-efficient of thermal expansion between the matrix and reinforcement…

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Mechanical Engineering 2018
Binder jet printing (BJP), one of the early metal 3D printing technologies, has distinct advantages over the other additive manufacturing (AM) processes to directly build 3D parts. Some of the advantages of BJP include printed parts free of residual stresses, a less amount of labor, without the starting build plate, and a higher powder reusability. However, the BJP technology has been adopted only in the very limited applications in prototyping due to its technical difficulty in achieving full-density parts. This work has concentrated in developing a new BJP protocol to attain full-density parts made of Stainless Steel (SS) 420 and 316L. The effect of the average particle size, mixture ratio, and sintering additives on the densities of green and sintered parts is investigated for SS420 and SS 316L powders. Multiple powders distinct in average particle sizes are mixed to improve the packing density. A systematic study of the binder burn-out procedure is conducted using thermogravimetric analysis, leading to a complete removal of binder phase without extensively oxidizing SS420 and SS 316L powder. The optimal sintering condition for promising powder mixtures is determined to maximize the final density with the addition of a small amount of boron compounds as sintering additives. The quality of the fully-sintered SS420 and SS 316L parts is evaluated using the various measurements including density, microstructure, hardness, and surface roughness. Relative densities up to 99.6% are obtained for both SS420 and SS 316L without pronounced structural distortion. After achieving the parts with a full density, we were able to prove the ability of printing a shell of a part instead of the entire solid part. After sintering, both printed samples have similar quality in term of powder consolidation. The shell-printing using BJP offers expediting the printing time and reducing the amount of binder phase used in printing process. Furthermore, we successfully developed a process to fabricate a completely enclosed serpentine channel with the length of 500mm and the width of 0.5mm in a 20mm x 10mm x 5mm block. This enclosed miniature internal structure fabrication is a unique accomplishment that is not easily achieved by any available AM technique. It offers potential applications such as fabricating columns for separation in gas chromatography and heat exchangers. Lastly, we employ BJP to print stainless steel parts (SS420) and sinter them in a reactive environment (e.g., oxygen), rendering the surfaces of the powder particles to be reacted and converted to electrically non-conducting ceramics (e.g., metal oxides). This metal/metal oxide hybrid structures exhibit several orders of magnitude higher electrical resistivity compared to the unreacted metal part. As a proof-of-the-concept demonstration, we have fabricated pin-fin-based miniature heating elements for rapid and energy-efficient heating and reaction applications.

▼ Water atomization (WA) of a molten metal is a well-established and cost-effective industrial approach to producing low-reactive metal powders. However, WA powders are characterized by a wide spread of particle size unsuitable for certain
powder metallurgy applications. To address this limitation, this thesis examines some of the poorly understood fluid mechanics phenomena involved in WA, to develop fundamental knowledge that describes the relationships between the design and operating conditions of a water atomizer, and the particle size distribution (PSD) of the resulting
powder.
In the first part of the thesis, a flat fan water spray is studied by experiment and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The disintegration of a liquid sheet into a spray is examined, an optical technique to measure a multi-range droplet size distribution (DSD) in a developing spray is presented, and an enhanced model to quantify the momentum flux of a spray where it impinges a melt stream is proposed. The model suggests that the momentum flux of a spray, and thus the atomization capacity, increases with spray pressure and decreases with the travel distance of the spray from the nozzle to the impingement point and with the spray spreading angle.
In the second part of the thesis, the above findings are examined via production of a low melting point alloy (Bi-42% Sn)
powder using a laboratory-scale water atomizer that was designed and built for this work. The effects of various design and operating parameters, including water pressure, melt superheat, apex angle, and spray configuration on the mass median size (d50) and standard deviation (SD) of the
powder PSD are investigated, and correlations proposed. These correlations can be used to control the size features of water atomized powders produced at industrial scale, by engineering various design and operating parameters, and thus expanding the market for water atomized powders.
