Abstract

In this review, composite studies using titanium and graphene additions to alumina as matrix materials are summarized. In the light of studies conducted in recent years, the importance of graphene reinforcement and the effects of titanium reinforcement on the properties of ceramic matrix composites have been stated. Alumina matrix composites, which are the most widely used ceramic matrix composites, have been used in the industry from past to present due to their properties such as low density, high hardness and chemical stability. However, the low fracture toughness of alumina (3.5 MPa.m1/2) limits its usage area, therefore, the existing mechanical properties are improved with second phase additions, and higher hardness and fracture toughness are obtained with the reinforcements. Although it has been stated in the reviewed studies that titanium reinforcement into alumina matrix generally results in lower hardness, fracture toughness and bending strength compared to monolithic alumina and that titanium reinforcement is an important step in improving the properties of alumina with low fracture toughness, some studies have shown that titanium addition has increased fracture toughness (4,32 MPa.m1/2) and has been reported to increase bending strength. Studies have shown that a second reinforcement material is added to the Al2O3-Ti composite in order to improve the mechanical properties obtained by reinforcing titanium into alumina matrix. It has been observed that literature studies on the addition of graphene to the Al2O3-Ti structure are limited. In a limited study, results were obtained that graphene reinforcement reduced porosity and increased conductivity, wear resistance, hardness and fracture toughness (8.7 MPa.m1/2) compared to monolithic alumina and other reinforcements. These data show that the use of graphene supplements will continue to increase. In this review, the addition of titanium and graphene powders to the alumina matrix, production methods by powder metallurgy method, and the effects of the reinforcements on microstructure and mechanical properties were examined.

MATRİS MALZEMESİ OLARAK ALÜMİNAYA TİTANYUM VE GRAFEN İLAVELERİNİN ETKİLERİNİN BELİRLENMESİ

Abstract

Bu derlemede, matris malzemesi olarak alüminaya titanyum ve grafen ilavelileri ile yapılan kompozit çalışmaları özetlenmiştir. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmaların ışığında grafen takviyesinin önemi ve aynı zamanda titanyum takviyelerinin de seramik matrisli kompozitlerin özelliklerine etkileri belirtilmiştir. Seramik matrisli kompozitlerden en yaygın kullanım alanı bulan alümina matrisli kompozitler düşük yoğunluk, yüksek sertlik ve kimyasal kararlılık gibi özelliklerinden dolayı geçmişten günümüze dek endüstride kullanılmaktadır. Ancak alüminanın düşük kırılma tokluğu (3,5 MPa.m1/2) kullanım alanını kısıtlamakta bu sebeple ikinci faz ilaveleri ile mevcut olan mekanik özellikler iyileştirilmekte, bununla birlikte yapılan takviyelerle daha yüksek sertlik ve kırılma tokluğu elde edilmektedir. İncelenen çalışmalarda, alümina matrise titanyum takviyesinin genel olarak sertlik, kırılma tokluğu ve eğme dayanımlarında monolitik alüminaya kıyasla düşük sonuçlar elde edildiği ve titanyum takviyesinin kırılma tokluğu düşük olan alüminanın özelliklerinin geliştirilmesi açısından önemli bir aşama olduğu ifade edilse de yapılan bazı çalışmalarda titanyum ilavesinin kırılma tokluğu (4,32 MPa.m1/2) ve eğme dayanımını artırdığı bildirilmiştir. Yapılan çalışmalar titanyumun alümina matrise takviyesi ile elde edilen mekanik özelliklerin geliştirilmesi amacıyla Al2O3-Ti kompozitine ikinci takviye malzemesinin ilave edildiğini göstermiştir. Grafenin, Al2O3-Ti yapısına ilavesi konusunda yapılan literatür çalışmaların kısıtlı olduğu görülmüştür. Sınırlı çalışmada grafen takviyesi ile monolitik alümina ve diğer takviyelere göre porozitenin azaldığı, iletkenlik, aşınma dayanımı, sertlik ve kırılma tokluğu arttırdığı (8,7 MPa.m1/2) yönde sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Bu veriler de grafen takviyelerinin kullanımının artarak devam edeceğini göstermektedir. Yapılan bu derleme ile alümina matrise titanyum ve grafen tozlarının ilavesi, toz metalurjisi metoduyla üretim yöntemleri, yapılan takviyelerin mikroyapı ve mekanik özelliklere etkileri incelenmiştir.
