Micro powder injection molding of boron carbide components with SiC-Al2O3-Y2O3 sintering additives

Sintering additives and micro-powder injection molding offer an effective method to densify boron carbide（B₄C） and make B₄C components with complex shapes. By adjusting the proportion of three kinds of powders（SiC, Al₂O₃ and Y₂O₃）, four kinds of sintering additives were prepared. The feedstock uniformity, debinding behavior, phase composition and microstructure of micro injection molded B₄C components with different sin...     

Effect of gap and overlap on mode Ⅱ interlaminar fracture toughness of automated fiber placement prepreg laminates

Automated Fiber Placement(AFP) technology facilitates the manufacturing process of composite structures with complex geometry owing to its high efficiency and accuracy.However,the unavoidable imperfections induced by the automated layup method bring challenges to the stability of the final mechanical properties of composites.The influence of AFP-induced gaps and overlaps on the mode Ⅱ interlaminar fracture process of oven-cured laminates is experimentally investigated and explicitly revealed.End...
