An irreversible disappearance of the mechanical loss peak of an yttria-doped silicon nitride
The internal friction of a silicon nitride with a sintering aud of yttrium oxide was measured from room temperature to 1400 °C. A mechanical loss peak was typically observed at 1000 °C on heating the as-sinter...

Dislocation structure in low-angle interfaces between bonded Si(001) wafers
Dislocation structures of interfaces between bonded (001) Si wafers with co-existing low-angle twist and tilt misorientations were studied by transmission electron microscopy. At dominating twist, a square scr...

Linear strain hardening in elastoplastic indentation contact
Finite-element analyses for elastoplastic cone indentations were conducted in which the effect of linear strain hardening on indentation behavior was intensively examined in relation to the influences of the f...

Divorced eutectic and interface characteristics in a solidified YAG-spinel composite with spinel-rich composition
Solidified microstructures of YAG (Y3Al5O12)-spinel (MgAl2O4) composite with spinel-rich composition (YAG : spinel = 1 : 30 molar ratio) were investigated. Intergranular YAG divorced eutectic exhibiting fine-grai...

Atomic structure of Al/Al interface formed by surface activated bonding
Single crystalline Al crystals were bonded via surface activated bonding at room temperature with the crystallographic orientation of (111)∥(111) and [110]∥[110]. The interfacial microstructure was investigate...

Metastable precipitation in isothermally solidified YAG-alumina composites with off-eutectic composition
YAG-alumina composites with Al2O3-rich and YAG-rich compositions were prepared by annealing the hot-pressed composites at the eutectic temperature (1820°C) for 1 h followed by cooling down at 10 or 100°C/min in a...

Metastable precipitation of YAIO3 in isothermally solidified YAG/(Al2O3-rich) spinel composites
Phase composition and microstructure of isothermally solidified YAG/spinel (or Al2O3-rich solid solution) composites were investigated. It was verified that an equilibrium binary eutectic phase region consisti...

Anisotropy of creep deformation rate in hot-pressed Si3N4 with preferred orientation of the elongated grains
Compressive creep deformation of hot-pressed silicon nitride with two different preorientations of grain was investigated at temperatures in the range of 1300–1400 °C under 30–100 MPa. The stress exponent of t...

Microstructure and strength of Al-sapphire interface by means of the surface activated bonding method
Sapphire (α–Al2O3) and Al were joined by means of the surface activated bonding (SAB) method in an ultrahigh vacuum at room temperature. Tensile tests have shown that failure occurred not along the interface but ...
