    Influence of NaF on crystallization and machinability of mica glass ceramics

    , Article Synthesis and Reactivity in Inorganic, Metal-Organic and Nano-Metal Chemistry ; Volume 42, Issue 7 , May , 2012 , Pages 958-964 ; 15533174 (ISSN) Ghasemzadeh, M ; Nemati, A ; Hamnabard, Z ; Baghshahi, S ; Golikand, A. N ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Effect of NaF on crystallization kinetics, microstructure, and mechanical properties of mica glass ceramics were investigated by the differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and microhardness tests. Non-isothermal DTA experiments showed that the crystallization activation energies of base glasses are changed in the range of 235-246 KJ/mol, while the crystallization activation energies of samples with addition of NaF are changed in the range of 263-367 KJ/mol. The increase of crystallization temperature is helpful for the increase of aspect ratio, and the microstructure of the glass ceramics becomes interconnected, which contributes... 

    Crystallization behavior of mica glass-ceramics with nanophase structure

    , Article Synthesis and Reactivity in Inorganic, Metal-Organic and Nano-Metal Chemistry ; Volume 42, Issue 3 , 2012 , Pages 420-423 ; 15533174 (ISSN) Ghasemzadeh, M ; Nemati, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    The influence of Zr 2 on the crystallization behavior, microstructure, and machinability of SiO 2-Al 2O 3-MgO-K 2O-B 2O 3-F glasses was investigated. The crystallization of the glass-ceramic was markedly affected by addition of ZrO 2. These glasses crystallize more rapidly. The number of mica crystals increases, whereas the size of the mica crystals decreases drastically. Machining of these glass-ceramics was found to be good, as confirmed by a drilling test using conventional steel tools. Such mechanical properties are attributable to the microstructure of these glass-ceramics. Very fine crystals are homogeneously distributed in glass matrix  

    Numerical Modeling and Experimental Investigation of the Efficiency of the Laser-assisted Machining for Ceramics

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Roostaei, Hossein (Author) ; Movahhedy, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor) ; Shoja Razavi, Reza (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Laser-assisted machining is nowadays considered as an alternative to conventional machining processes including ceramics grinding, which has provided the basis for extensive experimental and numerical studies in this field. Since the main difference between laser-assisted machining and conventional machining is in the presence of lasers, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of laser on the laser assisted machining process. In this regard, in the first step the process of laser heating to the ceramic workpiece has been studied experimentally and numerically by finite element method. The material used in this research is a slip cast fused silica ceramic. The... 

    The effects of CaF2 in mica glass-ceramics

    , Article Defect and Diffusion Forum ; Volume 334-335 , 2013 , Pages 258-263 ; 10120386 (ISSN) ; 9783037856628 (ISBN) Ghasemzadeh, M ; Nemati, A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Different concentrations of CaF2 were incorporated in mica glass-ceramics to evaluate their effects on the crystallization and microstructure. The kinetics of phase transformations, and the microstructures of the final crystalline phase were found to be dependent on the concentration of nucleation agents. The results showed that CaF2 in high concentration had a synergistic effect and enhanced the formation of interlocked mica crystals. Non-isothermal DTA experiments showed that the crystallization activation energies of base glasses were changed in the range of 235-405 kJ/mol, while the crystallization activation energies of samples with addition of CaF2 were changed in the range of 419-747... 

    Dynamic modeling of the turning process of slip-cast fused silica ceramics using the discrete element method

    , Article Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture ; Volume 234, Issue 3 , 2020 , Pages 629-640 Roostai, H ; Movahhedy, M. R ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Simulation of brittle regime machining of materials (such as ceramics) is often difficult because of the complex material removal mechanisms involved. In this study, the discrete element method is used to simulate the dynamic process for machining of slip-cast fused silica ceramics. Flat-joint contact model is exploited to model contacts between particles in synthetic discrete element method models. This contact model is suitable for modeling of brittle materials with high ratios (higher than 10) of unconfined compressive strength to tensile strength. The discrete element method has the ability to simulate initiation, propagation, and coalescence of cracks leading to chip formation in the...
