Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride prepared with cubic-hexagonal boron nitride under high pressure and high temperature

Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride(Pc BN) compacts, using the mixture of submicron cubic boron nitride(c BN) powder and hexagonal BN(h BN) powder as starting materials, were sintered at pressures of 6.5–10.0 GPa and temperature of1750℃ without additives. In this paper, the sintering behavior and mechanical properties of samples were investigated.The XRD patterns of samples reveal that single cubic phase was observed when the sintering pressure exceeded 7.5 GPa and h BN contents ranged from 20 vol.% to 24 vol.%, which is ascribed to like-internal pressure generated at grain-to-grain contact under high pressure. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) analysis shows that after high pressure and high temperature(HPHT) treatments, the submicron c BN grains abounded with high-density nanotwins and stacking faults, and this contributed to the outstanding mechanical properties of Pc BN. The pure bulk Pc BN that was obtained at 7.7 GPa/1750℃ possessed the outstanding properties, including a high Vickers hardness(～ 61.5 GPa), thermal stability(～ 1290℃ in air),and high density(～ 3.46 g/cm~3).     

利用围压提高二级大腔体静高压装置压力极限的初步实验探索

采用基于国产铰链式六面顶压机二级6-8型大腔体静高压装置中的10/4(即八面体传压介质边长为10mm,二级WC-Co硬质合金立方块截角边长为4mm)组装,选择不同的围压材料和传压硬质合金台棱、圆片,在室温下用ZnTe的高压相变对压腔进行了压力标定。实验结果表明,叶蜡石是较合适的围压材料;但由于传压台棱、圆片自身强度的限制,及一级压腔形成的围压值较低等原因,致使实验没有达到预期的末级压砧围压增强效果。通过结合两种压腔的力学简化模型分析得知,围压材料与二级增压装置的预密封边共同形成了二级压腔的密封边,该大面积密封边消耗了系统的大部分加载力,因此在围压实验中没有观测到二级6-8型大腔体静高压装置压力极限的提高。     

复合型多晶金刚石末级压砧的制备并标定六面顶压机6-8型压腔压力至35GPa

通过分析二级6-8型大腔体静高压装置八面体压腔的受力状况, 研制了一种使用成本低、尺寸大且易于加工的多晶金刚石-硬质合金复合二级(末级)顶锤(压砧). 采用原位电阻测量观测Zr在高压下相变(α-ω, 7.96 GPa; ω-β, 34.5 GPa)的方法, 标定了由多晶金刚石-硬质合金复合末级压砧构建的5.5/1.5(传压介质边长/二级顶锤锤面边长, 单位: mm)组装的腔体压力. 实验表明, 自行研制的多晶金刚石-硬质合金复合末级压砧可使基于国产六面顶压机构架的二级加压系统的压力产生上限从约20 GPa提高到35 GPa以上, 拓展了国内大腔体静高压技术的压力产生范围. 应用这一技术, 我们期望经过末级压砧材料与压腔设计的进一步优化, 在基于国产六面顶压机的二级6-8 型大腔体静高压装置压腔中产生超过50 GPa的高压. 关键词： 二级6-8型大腔体静高压装置 多晶金刚石-硬质合金复合末级压砧 压力标定     

Compression behavior and phase transition of β-Si_3N_4 under high pressure

The compressibility and pressure-induced phase transition of β-Si_3N_4 were investigated by using an angle dispersive x-ray diffraction technique in a diamond anvil cell at room temperature. Rietveld refinements of the x-ray powder diffraction data verified that the hexagonal structure(with space group P63/m, Z = 2 formulas per unit cell) β-Si_3N_4 remained stable under high pressure up to 37 GPa. Upon increasing pressure, β-Si3 N4 transformed to δ-Si_3N_4 at about 41 GPa. The initial β-Si_3N_4 was recovered as the pressure was released to ambient pressure, implying that the observed pressureinduced phase transformation was reversible. The pressure–volume data of β-Si_3N_4 was fitted by the third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state, which yielded a bulk modulus K_0= 273(2) GPa with its pressure derivative K_0= 4(fixed)and K0= 278(2) GPa with K 0= 5. Furthermore, the compressibility of the unit cell axes(a and c-axes) for the β-Si_3N_4 demonstrated an anisotropic property with increasing pressure.     

利用X射线衍射研究聚晶金刚石复合片的残余应力(英文)

通过x射线衍射方法研究了聚晶金刚石复合片中金刚石层内的宏观残余应力以及微观残余应力.宏观残余应力通过测量x射线衍射的峰值移动可以计算出来,微观残余应力由x射线衍射的峰形宽化决定.本文研究结果表明:我们研究的三种型号聚晶金刚石复合片中存在着宏观残余压应力和微观残余张应力,并且发现宏观残余压应力和微观残余张应力的大小随着金刚石平均粒径的增大而减小,根据x射线衍射研究表明这可能是由于随着金刚石粒径的增大,聚晶金刚石复合片中金刚石相的减少而非金刚石相的增加造成的.x射线衍射技术可以非破坏性的测量宏观和微观残余应力的大小,因此,这是一种很好的检测聚晶金刚石复合片中残余应力的方法,并可以通过应力的大小来优化聚晶金刚石复合片的最佳组分和工艺,同时也可以给出聚晶金刚石复合片的最佳工作条件.
