Decarbonizing the glass industry requires alternative melting technology, as current industrial melting practices rely heavily on fossil fuels. Hydrogen has been proposed as an alternative to carbon‐based fuels, but the ensuing consequences on the mechanical behavior of the glass remain to be clarified. A critical distinction between hydrogen and carbon‐based fuels is the increased generation of water during combustion, which raises the equilibrium solubility of water in the melt and alters the behavior of the resulting glass. A series of five silicate glasses with 80% silica and variable [Na2O]/([H2O] + [Na2O]) ratios were simulated using molecular dynamics to elucidate the effects of water on fracture. Several fracture toughness calculation methods were used in combination with atomistic fracture simulations to examine the effects of hydroxyl content on fracture behavior. This study reveals that the crack propagation pathway is a key metric to understanding fracture toughness. Notably, the fracture propagation path favors hydrogen sites over sodium sites, offering a possible explanation of the experimentally observed effects of water on fracture properties.

High‐temperature piezoelectric ceramics with excellent piezoelectric properties are key materials for high‐temperature piezoelectric devices. In this context, bismuth titanate–niobate (Bi3TiNbO9) is one of the most promising candidates, owing to its high Curie temperature (TC) > 900°C. However, the relatively low piezoelectric response of prototype Bi3TiNbO9 does not satisfy the requirements of high‐precision and high‐sensitivity applications. Herein, chromium‐substituted Bi3TiNbO9 with a nominal composition, Bi3Ti1−xCrxNbO9 (BTN‐100xCr), was prepared using the solid‐state reaction method. Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction refinements revealed structural distortions induced by the substitution of chromium. Piezo‐response force microscopy and ferroelectric hysteresis loops showed facile polarization reversal and domain wall movement in chromium‐substituted Bi3TiNbO9. The resultant structural distortion and domain wall movement served as intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to the enhancement of the piezoelectric properties, respectively. Consequently, BTN‐1.5Cr exhibits a high piezoelectric constant (d33) of 17.7 pC/N, which is four times that of Bi3TiNbO9 (4.2 pC/N), a high TC of 908°C, and an excellent thermal stability of piezoelectric and electromechanical coupling properties up to 500°C. These results indicate that chromium substitution enhances the high‐temperature piezoelectric properties of Bi3TiNbO9, and chromium‐substituted Bi3TiNbO9 is a promising candidate for high‐temperature piezoelectric applications.

SiC‐based porous ceramic wave‐absorbing materials have attracted much attention due to their excellent properties such as low density, high‐temperature resistance, and oxidation resistance. In this work, the impedance matching of SiC ceramics is improved by introducing Si3N4 wave‐transparent phase, and the dielectric loss capability of SiC ceramics is enhanced by introducing FeSi wave loss phase. To achieve a balance between impedance matching and absorption loss in porous ceramics, different molar contents of Al were introduced into FeSi to tailor electromagnetic parameters. The effects of introducing FeAlxSi1−x on the phase composition, microstructure, dielectric loss, and microwave absorption mechanism of SiC–Si3N4 porous ceramics were systematically investigated. When FeAl0.25Si0.75 is added, the minimum reflection loss of the porous ceramics is as low as −58.02 dB, and the flexural strength is as high as 87.23 MPa. The presence of Al promotes the transformation of the Si3N4 crystal and the generation of Al2O3. The introduction of FeAl0.25Si0.75 into SiC–Si3N4 has constructed “inductor–capacitor–resistance” microcircuit, which enhances polarization loss, conductivity loss, and magnetic loss, and realized the double enhancement of the mechanical and wave‐absorbing properties of porous ceramics.

In this work, the 0.5BaCuSi4O10–0.5BaCuSi2O6‐based ceramics were synthesized using a standard solid‐phase reaction process, and the inherent relationship between crystal structure and microwave dielectric properties was thoroughly explored. The crystal structure of the 0.5BaCuSi4O10–0.5BaCuSi2O6 ceramic was determined by X‐ray diffractometer, which confirmed the existence of two phases. Microstructure observation of the ceramics was obtained by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Excellent microwave dielectric properties with a low ԑr ∼6.52, a high Q × f ∼46 010 GHz, and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) ∼−14 ppm°C−1 were obtained in the 0.5BaCuSi4O10–0.5BaCuSi2O6 ceramic sintered at 1060°C. By adding sintering additives LiF and Li2O–B2O3–SiO2–CaO–Al2O3 (LBSCA) glass, the sintering temperature was decreased from 1060°C to 870°C. Good microwave dielectric properties with a ԑr ∼6.59, a Q × f ∼18 820 GHz, and TCF ∼−14 ppm°C−1 were achieved in the 0.5BaCuSi4O10–0.5BaCuSi2O6 ‐2 wt.% LiF, 1 wt.% LBSCA (2F1LBSCA) ceramic sintered at 870°C. The low‐temperature firing ceramics could also be well co‐fired with Ag with good chemical compatibility. These results indicated that the 0.5BaCuSi4O10–0.5BaCuSi2O6 ceramic with 2F1LBSCA additions can be utilized in low‐temperature co‐fired ceramics technology to produce high‐frequency communication components.

Specimens from a Hi‐Nicalon Type S/BN/SiC (MI) ceramic matrix composite with multiple machined holes were subjected to a furnace dwell and then tensile tested. The furnace temperature range was 500–900°C, and the atmosphere was pure steam to approximate the temperature and sea level partial pressure of water vapor in the cooling air going through turbomachinery cooling holes. Exposure of control specimens was done in laboratory air at the same temperatures. Tensile results along with microscopy and spectroscopy showed significant strength degradation in some conditions due primarily to oxidation of the boron nitride fiber coating, with coating volatilization at lower temperatures and probable fiber‐to‐matrix bonding and imposed fiber stresses at higher temperatures. The greatest strength degradation occurred in the 500–600°C steam range. The fiber coating oxidation/volatilization was especially evident near the holes and was exacerbated in the lower temperature tests by porosity networks that were open to the atmosphere at fiber tow ends at the specimen edges and along the inner walls of the holes.

TaxHf1–xC are promising candidates for many applications under harsh environments due to their unique properties. Up until now, low‐temperature densification is still a big challenge for these ceramics. Moreover, the effect of Ta:Hf ratio on microstructure development and mechanical behavior of the ceramics is not clear. In this work, highly dense TaxHf1−xC–SiC ceramics (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) were fabricated at 1700°C by a novel reactive hot‐pressing processing with 8 wt% Si as sintering aid, which present excellent mechanical properties. Fracture toughness of the ceramics is higher than 6.3 MPa·m1/2, with the highest toughness achieved in Ta0.6Hf0.4C–SiC (8.5 MPa·m1/2). With the increase of Ta content, hardness of the ceramics tends to increase, while the bending strength tends to decrease. The highest bending strength is achieved in Ta0.2Hf0.8C–SiC (637 MPa), and the highest hardness is achieved in Ta0.8Hf0.2C–SiC (17.6 GPa). This work lays the foundation for the composition design of TaxHf1−xC‐based ceramics and composites.

Many studies have reported that additive manufactured ceramic lattices with microarchitectures often exhibit low‐strain brittle fracture behavior. In this work, the fracture behavior of ceramic triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattices was optimized by introducing a hybrid design strategy that utilizes different microarchitectures. Hybrid ceramic TPMS structures incorporating Gyroid and Primitive unit cells were successfully fabricated using the Lithography‐based ceramics manufacturing (LCM) technique, and their mechanical properties were evaluated under both quasistatic and dynamic compression. The hybrid designs exhibited improved damage tolerance and fracture strength compared to their normal counterparts. Compared to normal Gyroid and Primitive structures, the G2P2 structure exhibits the best energy absorption capacity of 12.5 × 104 J/m3, demonstrating a 13% and 217% increase in energy absorption capacity under quasistatic loading, respectively. Additionally, compared with other normal and hybrid designs, the G2P2 structure exhibits the highest fracture strength of 13.03 MPa under quasistatic loading conditions. Moreover, the P2G hybrid structure displayed a distinct deformation pattern characterized by a smoother stress decrease under quasistatic loading, enhancing damage tolerance. The order of Young's modulus under quasistatic loading was Normal Gyroid ≈ G2P2 > G2P1 > Normal Primitive > P2G. Fracture strength follows the order of G2P2 ≈ Normal Gyroid > Normal Primitive > G2P1 > P2G. The mechanical properties of hybrid TPMS structures suggest that the hybrid design strategy can broaden the achievable range of mechanical properties among ceramic TPMS structures.

The great development of transpiration cooling technology challenges the coolant medium seriously. In this paper, porous ZrO2–ZrO2 ceramics have been satisfactorily prepared to meet the requirements of the coolant medium in transpiration cooling. The results illustrate that porous ZrO2–ZrO2 ceramics have excellent compressive strengths; meanwhile, percentages of compressive strength difference (parallel and perpendicular to the mold‐pressing direction) have an upward trend due to the increasing fiber contents. Besides, the failure mode has a huge distinction between parallelity (45° oblique section) and perpendicularity (wedge shape). These ceramics have unimodal pore size distribution (2–10 µm), and their wettability has a substantial improvement reflected by contact angle from 118° to 0°. Permeability behavior across these ceramics has been accurately described using the Darcy–Forchheimer equation, while obtaining viscous and inertial resistance coefficients, respectively. This work can provide an essential reference for coolant medium in transpiration cooling.

The results illustrate that porous ZrO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>–ZrO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> ceramics have excellent compressive strengths; meanwhile, percentages of compressive strength difference (parallel and perpendicular to the mold‐pressing direction) have an upward trend due to the increasing fiber contents. Besides, the failure mode has a huge distinction between parallelity (45° oblique section) and perpendicularity (wedge shape). These ceramics have unimodal pore size distribution (2–10 µm), and their wettability has a substantial improvement reflected by contact angle from 118° to 0°. Permeability behavior across these ceramics has been accurately described using the Darcy–Forchheimer equation, while obtaining viscous and inertial resistance coefficients, respectively. This work can provide an essential reference for coolant medium in transpiration cooling.","PeriodicalId":200,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Ceramic Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141517730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In ternary nitrides, the Ga0.9Fe3.1N sample has ultimately been prepared through solid‐gas preparation for the gallium‐richest phase GaFe3N. The substitution of gallium atoms for iron atoms weakens the saturation magnetization of ferromagnetic γʹ‐Fe4N and induces the transmission from ferromagnetism to antiferromagnetism. A new magnetic behavior, defined as the spin glassy magnetic state, has been observed in the temperature‐dependent magnetic performance measurement process for Ga0.9Fe3.1N. The magnetic competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Fe–Fe bonds will lead to the spin frustration of the magnetic system. And even the positional disorders caused by substitution, will all be responsible for the spin glassy behavior in Ga0.9Fe3.1N.

Polymeric fibers are often used as a drying additive for refractory castables because they can increase their permeability, reducing the risk of pressurization that is believed to trigger explosive spalling. Despite the potential of synthetic polymers to be engineered and obtain desired properties, the required parameters for inducing permeability enhancement remain unclear. This inhibits the development of novel designed drying additives and improvement of the numerical models. This work investigates the effect of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and cellulose fibers on the water transport in refractory castables through rapid neutron tomography, enabling the in situ visualization of the water distribution, the drying front advance and the size, intensity and duration of moisture accumulation. PE and cellulose fibers accelerate drying fronts earlier than PP, in which PE exhibits larger moisture accumulation, residual moisture behind its drying front and a slower drying rate at higher temperatures despite the early water removal initiation. In contrast, cellulose emerged as a better candidate, due to a swelling–shrinkage based mechanism. The neutron tomography observations unveil the dynamic and intricate effect of fibers in the permeability, emphasizing that safer industrial processes require a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms to develop better fibers and accurate numerical models.
