Abstract
Grain refinement in hafnium (Hf), a typical refractory metal, encounters significant challenges due to its inherent high sintering temperature requirements and uneven sintered capillary force that lead to rapid grain coarsening and inhomogeneity. Herein, we present a novel approach of the pressureless two-step sintering to prepare near-fully dense nanocrystalline Hf with an average grain size of around 40 nm, which represents the smallest grain and highest density for nanocrystalline pure Hf to the date. Such achievements not only broaden the applicability of pressureless two-step sintering but also offer insights to produce large size of finer-grained refractory metals and their alloys.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials (IJRMHM) publishes original research articles concerned with all aspects of refractory metals and hard materials. Refractory metals are defined as metals with melting points higher than 1800 °C. These are tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum, niobium, hafnium, and rhenium, as well as many compounds and alloys based thereupon. Hard materials that are included in the scope of this journal are defined as materials with hardness values higher than 1000 kg/mm2, primarily intended for applications as manufacturing tools or wear resistant components in mechanical systems. Thus they encompass carbides, nitrides and borides of metals, and related compounds. A special focus of this journal is put on the family of hardmetals, which is also known as cemented tungsten carbide, and cermets which are based on titanium carbide and carbonitrides with or without a metal binder. Ceramics and superhard materials including diamond and cubic boron nitride may also be accepted provided the subject material is presented as hard materials as defined above.
