The effects of composition and sintering temperature on the microstructure and properties of the titanium-based composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and mechanical properties tests. The results demonstrate that adding ZrO2 particles can improve the mechanical properties of powder metallurgy （P/M） titanium-based composites. The Ti composite with 4% （mole fraction） ZrO2 sintered at 1100 °C for 4 h shows an appropriate mechanical property with a relative density of 93.9%, a compressive strength of 1380 MPa （570 MPa higher than pure Ti） and good plasticity （an ultimate strain above 24%）.展开更多

These challenges arise primarily from the mechanical fragility of such dielectrics, in which the undesirable scratches are prone to produce. To mitigate this problem, a new model is proposed to predict the initiation of scratching based on the mechanical properties of passive layer and copper substrate. In order to deduce the ratio of the passive layer yield strength to the substrate yield strength and the layer thickness, the limit analysis solution of surface scratch under Berkovich indenter is used to analyze the nano-scratch experimental measurements. The modulus of the passive layer can be calculated by the nano-indentation test combined with the FEM simulation. It is found that the film modulus is about 30% of the substrate modulus. Various regimes of scratching are delineated by FEM modeling and the results are verified by experimental data.展开更多
