Viscous Flow Creep in Ceramics Containing Secondary Crystalline Phases

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Q Jin, D S. Wilkinson, G C. Weatherly, William E. Luecke, Sheldon M. Wiederhorn
Experimental observations of the creep response of a Y 20 3-fluxed Si 3N 4 containing secondary crystalline phases(SP)are presented.The widths of grain-boundary amorphous films before and after creep have been characterized by using transmission electron

Volumetric and Size Characterization of Void Morphologies in Thermally Sprayed Metallic Deposits Using Scattering Techniques

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
T Keller, W. Wagner, J Ilavsky, Andrew J. Allen, N Margadant, S Siegmann, J Pisacka, G Barbezat, R Enzl
The complex void microstructure of thermally sprayed deposits may be approximated by three major void syste(interlamellar pores, intralamellar cracks, and volumetric globular voids), each with different volume fractions,anisotropies, sizes and shapes. This

Wear Analysis of UHMWPE Using a Load Sum Method

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
M C. Shen, Stephen M. Hsu, John A. Tesk, A Christou
An accelerated wear test pro-cedure has been developed for wear screening of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) using a new wear tester. Results showed that the test procedure was able to discriminate known wear level samples within seven

Rapid Identification of Synthetic Routes to Functional Metastable Phases Using X-Ray Probed Laser Anneal Mapping (XPLAM) Time-Temperature Quench Maps

June 6, 2021
Author(s)
Robert T. Bell, Peter A. Beaucage, Marc J. Murphy, Aine Connolly, David Ginley, Ulrich Wiesner, R. B. Van Dover, Michael O. Thompson
Most material systems have known or predicted functional phases that are metastable at standard temperature and pressure. While substantial advances have been made in the high-throughput and combinatorial synthesis of materials with a range of

Exploring the First High Entropy Thin Film Libraries: Composition spread-controlled Crystalline Structure

March 19, 2021
Author(s)
Thi X. Nguyen, Yen-Hsun Su, Jason Hattrick-Simpers, Takahiro Nagata, Howard Joress, Kao-Shuo Chang, Suchismita Sarker, Apurva Mehta, Jyh-Ming Ting
Thin films of two types of high-entropy oxides (HEOs) have been deposited on 76.2 mm Si wafers using combinatorial sputter deposition. In one type of the oxides, (MgZnMnCoNi)Ox, all the metals have a stable divalent oxidation state and similar cationic

Effects of Octahedral Tilting on the Site of Substitution of Manganese in CaTiO3

January 22, 2021
Author(s)
Russell Maier, Kevin Garrity, Matthew P. Donohue, Andrzej Ozarowski, Igor Levin
Combined electron-paramagnetic-resonance and X-ray absorption spectroscopies with first principles calculations were used to investigate the substitutional behavior of Mn ions in perovskite CaTiO3 ceramics. While transition-metal dopants in perovskite

In situ characterization of ceramic cold sintering by small-angle scattering

January 1, 2021
Author(s)
Andrew J. Allen, Igor Levin, Russell Maier, Suzanne E. Witt, Fan Zhang, Ivan Kuzmenko
The first in situ characterization of the pore morphology evolution during the cold sintering process (CSP) is presented using small-angle X-ray scattering methods. For practical reasons, measurements have been made on a model system, KH2PO4 (KDP). The

Shoulder fillet effects in strength distributions of MEMS components

November 6, 2020
Author(s)
Frank W. DelRio, Brad L. Boyce, Jake T. Benzing, Lawrence H. Friedman, Robert F. Cook
The failure forces and fracture strengths of polysilicon MEMS components in the form of stepped tensile bars with shoulder fillets were measured using a sequential failure chain methodology. Approximately 150 specimens for each of four fillet geometries

Materials Research & Measurement Needs for Ceramics Additive Manufacturing

November 1, 2020
Author(s)
Andrew J. Allen, Igor Levin, Suzanne E. Witt
We report on a recent workshop dedicated to additive manufacturing (AM) of ceramics that was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in November 2019. This two- day all-invited meeting brought together experts from industry
