Sintering of advanced ceramic materials
Průdek, Miloš ; Trunec, Martin (referee) ; Maca, Karel (advisor)
V předložené diplomové práci bylo studováno slinování hexagonálního Al2O3 a kubického MgAl2O4 pomocí slinovacích cyklů složených z beztlakého předslinutí metodou dvojstupňového slinování s následným doslinutím s využitím tlaku (HIPováním). Cílem bylo pokusit se snížit (při zachování vysoké dosažené hustoty) střední velikost zrn a tím zvýšit tvrdost keramiky popř. optickou transparenci. Hlavní úsilí bylo věnováno optimalizaci předslinutí pomocí různých slinovacích cyklů. Přestože bylo vyzkoušeno velké množství různých kombinací teplot a prodlev dvojstupňového slinování, nepodařilo se výrazným způsobem zvýšit výslednou tvrdost vzorků. V případě kubického MgAl2O4 bylo dosaženo hustot blížících se teoretické hustotě, což se projevilo v optické transparentnosti vzorků.

Milling optimization of ceramic blanks
Ráčková, Jana ; Pouchlý, Václav (referee) ; Trunec, Martin (advisor)
The master thesis deals mainly with the optimization of machining of ceramic semi-finished products from ZrO2 and Al2O3. The first part with literary research, which describes the steps of the technology of forming ceramic bodies, especially the gelcasting method. The thesis describes possibilities of milling of ceramic materials using CNC technology. The thesis describes the dependence of acquired roughness on bodies and used machining strategies. The best roughness parameters on ZrO2 samples were obtained after they were calcined at 900 ° C, while the lowest roughness was obtained on the samples in the unprotected state for the Al2O3 samples. Samples machined with a spherical milling cutter showed surface roughness Ra = 1 m for ZrO2 and Ra = 1.3 m for Al2O3. It also describes the possibility of machining sharp-edged shapes and fine details where the best results are achieved on ZrO2 samples engraved at 900 and 1100 °C. Tool wear was particularly important when machining samples of Al2O3 ignited at temperatures above 800 °C.

Gelcasting of Advanced Ceramics
Veselý, Jan ; Maca, Karel (referee) ; Trunec, Martin (advisor)
In Bachelor thesis, a literary overview of gelcasting method was worked out and pursuant to this overview, composition of alumina suspension was optimised for fabrication of bulky and complex-shape ceramic part. Four variants of ceramic powder filling in suspensions were prepared. Based on the experiments, a suspension with powder loading of 47,5 vol. % was chosen. The ratio between linear and crosslinking monomers was investigated for this suspension. A suspension with monomer ratio of 4 : 1 (linear : crosslinking) was chosen for preparation of bulky and complex-shape ceramic part. Gelcasting was verified by fabrication of ceramic medal and a knee-joint.

Compaction of ceramic nanoparticle suspensions by centrifugal forces
Mišák, Jiří ; Maca, Karel (referee) ; Trunec, Martin (advisor)
In bachelor’s thesis, there was researched compacting of ceramic suspensions prepared from aluminium oxide with particle size of 100 nm by centrifugal forces. The homogeneity of centrifuged bodies was described in dependence of the speed of centrifugation. It was shown, that homogenous plate samples with regular particle packing could be prepared from centrifuged bodies. The structure and sintering behaviour of such bodies were superior to samples prepared by cold isostatic pressing. Similar properties could be reached in samples prepared from suspension with high loading (47,5 vol.%) as well as with lower loading (20 vol.%). The advantage of regular and dense particle packing by centrifugal compaction was demonstrated by manufacturing of transparent ceramic samples.

Propagation of inclined cracks to the interface of ceramic laminates
Novotná, Lenka ; Trunec, Martin (referee) ; Chlup, Zdeněk (advisor)
Composite materials with laminated structure provide advantages which are utilised during component design. Low density, temperature and chemical stability are the profitable properties predetermining application of ceramic laminates. The main obstacle for wide spread of ceramic materials is their inherent brittleness. Therefore, in this thesis, the crack propagation in ceramics laminates has been extensively studied. Laminated structures with various volume fractions of components (alumina and zirconia) were prepared by electrophoretic deposition. Evaluation of crack propagation through the interface and determination of basic mechanical properties was conducted on the basis of extensive literature search. Crack deflection originated in both presence of internal stresses and differences in elastic modulus during the crack interface passing was monitored. A special type of specimen geometry was employed with the aim to set arbitrary angle between crack and interface. It was experimentally found that the degree of crack deflection is dependent on entering angle and volume fraction of components. Higher crack deflection was already found in the bulk of the test piece comparing to the test piece surface. The 3D fracture surface reconstruction generated using laser confocal microscopy was used in this detailed crack propagation study. Further basic elastic and strength characteristics of laminates were determined and compared to those obtained from monolithic materials. The validity of the mix rule for elastic characteristics was confirmed by comparing of elastics modulus. The most reliable method for elastic modulus determination was marked the dynamic resonance method due to low scatter and consistency in measurement. The flexural strength of all laminates tends to be close to the flexural strength of the weakest component. Therefore the mix rule is not applicable for flexural strength estimation on the contrary of elastic characteristics. The change of component volume fraction leads only to change of flexural strength scatter. Thanks to gained knowledge about crack propagation and basic characteristic determination will be possible to design ceramic laminates more efficiently for given needs of application.

Transparent polycrystalline ceramics for ballistic and high-temperature applications
Malík, Petr ; Pouchlý, Václav (referee) ; Trunec, Martin (advisor)
Alumina based transparent ceramic bodies were prepared within this diploma thesis by the gel casting process followed by presintering to closed porosity stage with subsequent hot isostatic pressing. The problematic drying of large bodies was solved by means of careful temperature and relative humidity control and by osmotic drying. Almost perfectly dense ceramics were achieved thanks to colloidal processing of TM-DAR and TM-UF ceramic powders providing a final structure with grain size of 381 nm, resp. 302 nm. High real in-line transmission of 72,3 % was achieved at wavelength of 632,8 nm and thickness of 0,8 mm. Among mechanical properties high values of hardness HV10 = 22,5 GPa, fracture toughness KIC = 3,99 MPam0,5, Young’s modulus E = 400 GPa a bending strength o = 494 MPa were achieved.
