Influence of the particle size of diamond powder on microstructure and properties of Ni3Al-diamond composites
produced by pulsed plasma sintering
There is an increasing number of research studies with aim to eliminate carcinogenic and expensive cobalt from metal-diamond composites and replace it
by Ni-Al intermetallic phases. This study presents the influence of diamond particle size on the properties of Ni3Al-diamond composites sintered by Pulsed
Plasma Sintering (PPS) with the participation of SHS reaction (Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis). Ni3Al-diamond sinters were produced using
Ni:Al (3:1 at.) powder mixtures with addition of 30% vol. of diamond with grain size ranging from 16 to 60 μm. The sintering process was performed
at 900°C in 5 minutes under load 100 MPa. Obtained sinters have above 98% theoretical density and shows fine crystalline microstructure with relatively
uniformed diamond particles, what can be observed on SEM images of polished surface and fracture. The fractures are brittle and have the intergranular
character. The X-ray phase examinations have shown that each sinters contains Ni3Al, diamond and Ni3C. Hardness of the sinters was tested by the Vickers
method and was 578±9 HV5 for Ni3Al-diamond 16÷20 μm sinter and 606±2 HV5 for Ni3Al-diamond 40÷60 μm. Wear resistance of Ni3Al-diamond
sinters, tested by ball-on-disc method, showed that wear ratio is non-measurable and Ni3Al-diamond 40÷60 μm sinter has much lower friction factor than
Ni3Al-diamond 16÷20 μm. Presented research has shown no influence of diamond particle size used in Ni3Al-diamond sinters on structural properties,
however an increase of mechanical properties in composite with diamond 40÷60 μm can be noticed.
Key words: Ni3Al, diamond, composite, pulsed plasma sintering, PPS.
