- PublicationComposite of medium entropy alloys synthesized using spark plasma sintering(15-01-2021)
;Chawake, Niraj ;Raman, Lavanya ;Ramasamy, Parthiban ;Ghosh, Pradipta ;Spieckermann, Florian ;Gammer, Christoph ;Murty, B. S.; Eckert, JürgenA composite of two different medium entropy alloys (MEAs, i.e., CoCrFeNi and AlCoCrFe) was synthesized using ball milling and spark plasma sintering. The composite microstructure contains a homogenous distribution of fcc and bcc phases with submicron-sized grains and exhibits excellent microstructural and phase stability even after 100 h heat treatment at 800 °C. The composite provides a combination of high compressive strength, adequate plastic strain, and multiple strain-hardening stages at room temperature. This first exploratory study on a MEA composite can be used as a template to other systems and illustrates the feasibility of combining two or more MEAs. - PublicationVerification of correlation between densification during spark plasma sintering and compressive creep of ultrafine-grained in-situ Al2O3-reinforced B2 aluminide matrix composites(25-02-2018)
;Chawake, Niraj ;Koundinya, N. T.B.N.The B2-Aluminide matrix (FeAl and NiAl) with in-situ Al2O3 reinforcement were synthesized using reactive milling. The oxides (Fe2O3 and NiO) were reduced by Al during high energy milling to form Al2O3. The 20 h ball milled powders were consolidated using spark plasma sintering (SPS). To understand the densification mechanisms during SPS, sintering was performed at various temperatures (750–850 °C) and applied pressures (25–100 MPa). The creep parameters are evaluated from the densification data obtained during SPS using the model proposed by Bernard and Granger. In addition, independent constant-stress compression creep studies were conducted on the dense SPS pellets. The creep studies were performed on the composites at 800 °C at different stresses (100–500 MPa). The densification studies and compression creep studies are correlated based on the creep parameters obtained from both these studies and corroborated by TEM studies of the crept samples. This correlation is found to be valid even for the in-situ composites. Thus, the analysis of densification data can be helpful in predicting the creep behavior and useful for designing the new creep resistant alloys or composites. - PublicationFormation of amorphous alumina during sintering of nanocrystalline B2 aluminides(01-09-2016)
;Chawake, Niraj ;Koundinya, N. T.B.N. ;Kashyap, Sanjay ;Srivastav, Ajeet K. ;Yadav, Devinder ;Mondal, R. A.Nanocrystalline B2 aluminide (FeAl and NiAl) powders were synthesized using high energy ball milling and were consolidated using three different sintering methods: conventional pressureless sintering, microwave sintering and spark plasma sintering. The particle-particle contacts after sintering were found to have compositional gradient from interior to surface leading to formation of an Al-O rich phase. This Al-O rich phase formation is primarily attributed to oxygen pick-up during handling of powders and during sintering, leading to formation of amorphous alumina. The formation of amorphous phase is explained by examining the defect concentrations and their interactions. The composite developed with amorphous alumina as a second phase in an ordered B2 matrix can be of great interest for potential structural applications.
