SiC ceramics were fabricated by spark plasma sintering technique with the use of Al_2O_3 additive. The sintering process was carried out at three different temperatures in the range of 1700-1800C applying two different pressures 40 and 80 MPa under vacuum atmosphere. The effect of additive, different temperatures and pressures on densification behaviour, density, Vickers hardness, fracture toughness, and microstructure were examined. The hardness and fracture toughness of the samples were evaluated by the Vickers indentation technique. Microstructure of spark plasma sintered SiC samples were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy technique. The highest value of fracture toughness 5.9 ± 0.2 MPa m^{1/2} was achieved with the addition of 5 vol.% Al_2O_3.

The aim of this study is to investigate the adherence properties of acrylic cement based on PMMA to alumina ceramics. These ceramics are suitable for orthopedic and dental applications, as bioinert components in prosthetic surgery. The surface of alumina specimens were subjected to a special treatment based on acid etched followed by two different fluoride treatments: SnF_2 and NaBF_4, respectively. The structural properties of Al_2O_3 specimens were investigated before any treatments by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The modification occurred after the chemical treatment was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The adherence of commercial acrylic cement to both treated alumina specimens was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy upon transversal cutting of the specimens. The results demonstrated that SnF_2 is more favorable with respect to adhesion of PMMA based orthopedic cements.

B_4C ceramics were fabricated by spark plasma sintering technique at 1700°C-1800C for 5 min under applied pressure of 50 MPa under vacuum atmosphere. Two different grades of B_4C powder from H.C. Starck Company namely HP grade and HS grade were used in all related experiments. Effect of sample geometry and dimensions as well as sample thickness on sintering parameters were analyzed. Samples having 5 mm thickness and 50 mm diameter, 8 mm thickness in circular geometries and 50 × 50 square cross-section, 8 mm thickness were fabricated. Using the powder, which provided the densest sample, yttrium oxide (Y_2O_3) was added, mixed and sintered. Optimization of SPS method production parameters for pure B_4C samples and B_4C samples with 5 wt% yttrium oxide additive were accomplished. The effect of geometry on density, Vickers hardness, fracture toughness, and microstructure were examined. The hardness and fracture toughness values of the samples were evaluated by the Vickers indentation technique.

Boron carbide (B₄C) ceramics were produced by spark plasma sintering technique with 5, 10, 15, and 20 vol.% aluminum (Al) in order to improve sintering behaviours of B₄C ceramics. B₄C ceramics were produced, having square cross-section and 50 × 50 × 5 mm³ dimensions. The sintering process was carried out at different temperatures by applying 40 MPa of pressure with 100°C/min under vacuum. The effects of various amounts of Al additive and sintering temperature on density, vickers hardness, fracture toughness and microstructure were examined. The hardness and fracture toughness of the samples were evaluated by the Vickers indentation technique. Microstructures of the samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy technique. Fast neutron attenuation properties of the ceramics having highest density were also investigated.

In this study gamma and neutron attenuation properties of boron carbide-aluminium (B₄C-Al) composites were investigated. B₄C-Al composites were produced by spark plasma sintering method. Aluminum percentages in the B₄C-Al composites were 0%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by volume. The composite materials were performed against gamma and neutron sources. Cs-137 and Co-60 gamma radioisotopes were used as gamma sources and Pu-Be neutron howitzer was used for neutron source. Theoretical mass attenuation coefficients were determined by using XCOM computer code and compared with the experimental results. It has been seen that the experimental results were close to the theoretical results. Total macroscopic cross-sections of the samples were determined for Pu-Be neutrons. It is concluded that increasing aluminum ratio in the B₄C-Al composites causes higher gamma attenuation behavior for Cs-137 and Co-60 gamma sources and the total macroscopic cross-sections of the B₄C-Al composites decrease by increasing Al concentration.
