Capsule-free Hot Isostatic Pressing of transparent structural and functional ceramic materials
Krupa, Filip ; Drdlík, Daniel (referee) ; Maca, Karel (advisor)
The presented work focused on evaluating the suitability of several types of cubic zirconia powders for preparing suspension with a high solid content (over 40 vol.%). The suspensions were doped with TiO2 nanopowder (0,1 – 0,5 at. %). The influence of the shaping method (casting the suspension and drying the suspension by spray drying, followed by shaping through pressinng) and subsequent pre-sintering to the closed porosity stage was investigated, focusing on comparing two sintering regimes (long – 1300 °C/120 min and short – 1560 °C/2 min). The microstructure of both the pre-sintered samples and the samples after hot isostatic pressing was then observed using an electron microscope. The presented work assessed the influence of TiO2 on relative density, average grain size, and pore size, as well as the optimal amount of TiO2 to achieve maximum photoluminescent properties.

Advanced high-temperature resistant metal-ceramic composites based on TiB2 for cutting tools
Halmazňa, Jiří ; Drdlík, Daniel (referee) ; Chlup, Zdeněk (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the preparation of new high-temperature resistant cermets based on TiB2. The hard ceramic phase is bonded by NiW metallic alloy, which was prepared by mechanical alloying using a planetary ball mill. The first part of the thesis is targeted to the optimization of mixing of both powders in the planetary ball mill. The procedure of preparation of powders mixture with homogenous particles distribution of the NiW alloy was designed and verified with simultaneous particle size refinement. The second part is focused on the microstructure characterisation and mechanical properties evaluation of sintered materials. In this case both powders, TiB2 and NiW, were mixed in a tubular mill and consequently compacted by a rapid hot pressing method at four different sintering temperatures. The influence of the sintering temperature on the microstructure development characterized by the density, porosity and grain size was monitored. The elastic modulus, fracture toughness, flexural strength and hardness were measured on prepared test specimens. The results of conducted experiments show a significant dependence of the microstructure and mechanical properties on applied sintering temperatures. The higher sintering temperatures are used the better mechanical properties are observed. However, the sintering temperature of 1375°C seems to be an optimal one. The sintering temperature of 1400°C leads to the significant losses of the metal phase due to sublimation of nickel resulting in increased porosity in the metal phase regions.

Ceramic dental restoration milling from stock based on ZrO2
Ščasnovič, Erik ; Spusta, Tomáš (referee) ; Kaštyl, Jaroslav (advisor)
In this bachelor thesis, the theoretical overview about the milling of the dental zirconia blanks was performed. The tests of biaxial flexural strength were evaluated in the experimental part, as well as the roughness and the grain size in sintered state and the linear shrinkage was determined. These tests were done for gel cast blanks from zirconia dioxide prepared in laboratories and also for two types of commercially available zirconia oxide blanks fabricated by cold isostatic pressing. The relationship between strength and grain size was shown. The samples prepared from gel cast blanks had statistically significantly higher strength than samples from commercial blanks. At the end of the thesis, the milling of dental crown was carried out based on real tooth model from gel cast zirconia blank studied in this thesis.

Synthesis and sintering of zirconia based ceramics for biomedical applications
Jahodová, Daniela ; Novotná, Lenka (referee) ; Částková, Klára (advisor)
The present thesis focuses on the preparation of tetragonal zirconia doped with yttria oxide, ceric dioxide, and magnesium oxide. In its theoretical part the thesis covers the characteristics of doped ceramics, the possible methods of powders preparation and of their further processing. The experimental part describes the precipitation synthesis of zirconia in base environment and further processing for ceramics. Also studied were the influences of dopant and of the processing technique used on the phase composition and microstructure of the resulting ceramics. To describe the powder structure, the thermal, dilatometric, surface area, and x-ray analyses were performed; as well as both the scanning and transmission electron microscopy employed. Dry processed ceramics showed the average grain size of 87–94 nm and the relative density in the range of 84,0–99,3 %. In comparison, the ceramics produced of hydrothermally synthesised powders proved the average grain size of 75–85 nm and the relative density between 92,7-99,9 %. As the next step, samples were subjected to low-temperature degradation for the time of 5 and 15 hours. Samples consisting of pure tetragonal ZrO2 were resistant to 5 and 15 hours of low-temperature degradation at 180 °C.

Preparation and Characterization of Porous Magnesium Based Materials
Březina, Matěj ; Pacal, Bohumil (referee) ; Vojtěch, Dalibor (referee) ; Ptáček, Petr (advisor)
Bulk magnesium materials produced nowadays via powder metallurgy are based on a vastly extensive technological spectrum, which makes it possible to create a wide range of materials. This work focuses on the preparation of bulk materials from magnesium powder by cold pressing and hot pressing, sintering and field assisted sintering. The bulk materials were prepared in a series of compacting pressures from 100 MPa to 500 MPa and the sintering temperatures were selected in the range of 300 ° C to 600 ° C in order to characterize the influence of the manufacturing conditions and technology on the final properties of bulk materials. Prepared materials were evaluated in terms of microstructure, hardness, microhardness, three-point bend test, and fractography. From the hot pressed materials, the samples prepared at 400 and 500 MPa and 400 °C had the highest strength and hardness. The classic sintering of magnesium in the furnace with argon atmosphere proved to be ineffective due to the oxide layer on the surface and the presence of oxygen in technical argon. The SPS sintering (Spark Plasma Sintering) was the more effective with the lower applying pressure used to make the preforms and with the higher applied pressure during the SPS process itself. Highest strength and hardness were achieved in this case of materials sintered at 600 ° C prepared from free powder and the most porous preform (100 MPa). The bulk materials were prepared using all methods used, but the properties of these materials varied considerably depending on the technology used.
