摘要:
A dense ceramic workpiece is made by a process of combining a powdered (312) component, e.g., Ti3SiC2, with a powdered component that is soluble in the (312) component, e.g., TiSi2 in Ti3SiC2, forming the mixture into a green body, heating the green body under pressureless sintering conditions to a temperature above a point at which a liquid is formed but below the melting point of the (312) compound to yield a dense ceramic workpiece, and thereafter cooling the dense (312) ceramic workpiece.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to compositions comprising free standing and stacked assemblies of two dimensional crystalline solids, and methods of making the same. Typically, two-dimensional, 2-D, free-standing crystals exhibit properties that differ from those of their three-dimensional, 3-D, counterparts. Currently, however, there are relatively few materials which can be described as 2-D, atomically-scaled layered solids. Clearly the most studied freestanding 2-D material is graphene, but other materials include hexagonal BN, certain transition metal oxides, hydroxides, and silicates, including clays, S2N, MoS2 and WS2 are also known.
摘要:
A ceramic material is surface treated by contacting the surface of a 312 ternary ceramic material with a surface-modifying compound selected from carburization agents, silicidation agents, nitridation agents and boronization agents, at an elevated temperature of at least about 600 °C for a period of time sufficient to provide a surface reaction layer of at least about one micron in thickness in the surface-treated material, preferably having a surface hardness in excess of about 6 GPa. A product made by the method of this invention is also disclosed having a surface hardness in excess of about 6 GPa, preferably at least about 10 GPa.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to crystalline solids having an empirical formula of M2A2X, wherein M is at least one Group IIIB, IVB, VB, or VIB metal, preferably Cr, Hf, Sc, Ti, Mo, Nb, Ta, V, Zr, or a combination thereof; wherein A is Al, Ga, Ge, In, Pb, or Sn, or a combination thereof; and each X is CxNy, where x+y=1. In some particular embodiments, the crystalline composition has a unit cell stoichiometry of Mo2Ga2C.
