摘要
Theoretical investigations predict that TaON is likely to possess a relatively high hardness, thus making it a candidate for application as an abrasive or cutting tool material [J.E. Lowther, Theoretical Study of potential high pressure phases of TaON and quaternary ZrTaO3N, in press]. TaON powder was produced by nitridation of amorphousTa(2)O(5) powder in flowing ammonia in the 700-900 degrees C temperature range and an ammonia flow rate range of 40-50 cm(3)/rnin. The resulting powders were characterised in oxidation resistance by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), phase purity by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and surface area by the BET method. The materials were densified under pressure using a belt type high pressure apparatus at 3-5.5 GPa in the temperature range of 920-1200 degrees C. The sintered samples were characterised in phase purity, Vickers macro-hardness and fracture toughness. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
