In ceramic forming techniques high particles packing can provide better properties of the final ceramic products. The high quality of the material coupled with the shape complexity of the ceramic product is still challenging. The aim of this work was the optimization and preparation of the ceramic samples based on two alumina powders of different particle size (AA05: 0.5 μm and TM-DAR: 0.15 μm). Firstly, ceramic suspensions of 50 vol.% solid loading and the volumetric ratio of AA05 to TM-DAR 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, respectively have been prepared. The 2-carboxyethyl acrylate was applied as the new monomer limiting the negative effect of oxygen inhibition. Additionally, the cold isostatic pressing (CIP) was used in order to increase relative density of green bodies. The results of presented research have shown that samples with the ratio of AA05 to TM-DAR 2:1 were characterized by the highest green density (62%). Moreover, CIP process proved to be effective and increased the density of green bodies from 62% to 67%. The pore size distribution of the green bodies has been measured. Samples were sintered at different conditions (1400°C, 1450°C and 1500°C for 1h and 1300°C, 1400°C, 1450°C and 1500°C for 5h).

Purpose: The results of the research work on processing the sinters obtained from nanocrystalline powders of 316L steel are presented. Design/methodology/approach: The 316L steel powder has been mechanically alloyed from a set of elementary powders with use of Fritsch Vario-Planetary Mill Pulverisette 4. The time of 12 hours of milling has been needed for producing the powder. The X-ray diffraction has been used for controlling of the mechanical alloying process. The Rietveld method has been used to calculate the contents of the components of the powder. Cold and hot isostatic pressing have been applied to make the compacts. The pressure of 500 MPa and 900 MPa of cold pressing, and 150 MPa of hot pressing have been used. The green compacts have been pressed isostaticaly using liquid aluminium in the temperature of 950 degrees centigrade (1223 K). The X-ray diffraction have been used to identify the phase components of the sinters. The structure of the sinters have been observed using scanning electron microscope. The hardness values have been obtained by Vicker's test. Findings: The mechanically alloyed powder has consisted of about 94 wt.% of austenite, 5 wt.% of ferrite and not more than 1 wt.% of not alloyed molybdenum. Two kinds of sinters have been produced, one kind made of pure 316L powder, second one obtained with aluminium infiltration within the volume of the sinters. The observed porosity of the sinters has depended on the applied pressing conditions strongly, mainly on the value of cold isostatic pressure. The hardness of the first kind of sinters have achieved a value of 380 HV (98N), the hardness of the second kind - more than 400 HV (98N). Practical implications: The Al infiltrated sinter has been proposed as a material for a part of Diesel engine. As an example, a part of a fuel injection has been produced. Originality/value: The nanocrystalline 316L powder has been obtained using mechanical alloying process. The original method of hot isostatic pressing in liquid aluminium has been proposed. This method enables to produce infiltrated sinters with low porosity and high hardness values.
