    摘要: Solid reaction products with a dense nanocrystalline structure are formed from reactant particles with diameters in the nano-scale range by compacting the particles into a green body, then passing an electric current through the body causing Joule heating sufficient to initiate the reaction to form the reaction product while simultaneously applying pressure to the reacting body to density it to a density approaching the theoretical density of the pure product. Surprisingly, this process results in a reaction product that retains the nanocrystalline structure of the starting materials, despite the fact that a reaction has occurred and the materials have been subjected to highly stringent conditions of electric current, heat and pressure.

    摘要: A process is disclosed for forming a substantially pure monocrystalline layer of an implantable element in a monocrystalline substrate material by (a) selecting an implantable element and a monocrystalline substrate material to be implanted which, at the temperatures to be used, have limited mutual solubility in one another and do not form any intermediate phases with one another; (b) implanting a sufficient amount of the implantable element in the substrate material to permit formation of the desired substantially pure layer of the implantable element in the substrate material; and (c) annealing the implanted substrate material to form the desired layer. The annealing step may not be required if the desired layer was formed during the implantation.Also disclosed is an article made by the process.

    摘要: A self-sustaining combustion synthesis process for producing hard, tough, lightweight B.sub.4 C/TiB.sub.2 composites is based on the thermodynamic dependence of adiabatic temperature and product composition on the stoichiometry of the B.sub.4 C and TiB.sub.2 reactants. For lightweight products the composition must be relatively rich in the B.sub.4 C component. B.sub.4 C-rich composites are obtained by varying the initial temperature of the reactants. The product is hard, porous material whose toughness can be enhanced by filling the pores with aluminum or other metal phases using a liquid metal infiltration process. The process can be extended to the formation of other composites having a low exothermic component.

    摘要: Alloys of transition metal suicides that contain one or more alloying elements are fabricated by a two-stage process involving mechanical activation as the first stage and densification and field-activated reaction as the second stage. Mechanical activation, preferably performed by high-energy planetary milling, results in the incorporation of atoms of the alloying element(s) into the crystal lattice of the transition metal, while the densification and field-activated reaction, preferably performed by spark plasma sintering, result in the formation of the alloyed transition metal silicide. Among the many advantages of the process are its ability to accommodate materials that are incompatible in other alloying methods.

    摘要: A method through which we can synthesize Functionally Graded Materials (FGM). Such materials are made so that their composition changes gradually from one point to another, such as in the example of gradient index (GRIN) optical components. A novel aspect of our method is the imposition of a centrifugal force during the combustion synthesis of composite materials for structural, optical, or electronic applications, with the result that the composition and the particle size of the metallic (or ceramic) component changes continuously and across the thickness of the product. We have prepared such FGM as ZrO.sub.2 +Ni, ZrO.sub.2 +Cu and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 +Cu.
