Abstract: The present invention provides a self-healing ceramic material with reduced porosity and a method for preparing the same. The self-healing ceramic material comprises the following components by volume: 60-85 parts by volume of Al2O3, 10-20 parts by volume of TiN, 10-20 parts by volume of TiSi2, 0.1-1 parts by volume of MgO, and 0.1-1 parts by volume of Y2O3. Wherein, Al2O3 serves as a matrix, TiN and TiSi2 act as repair agents, and MgO and Y2O3 function as sintering aids. The repair function is realized by adding TiN and TiSi2, which have repair capabilities, to the ceramic matrix, enabling the ceramic material to heal cracks. TiN plays the main role of repair function, and TiSi2 assists in the repair and helps reduce the formation of surface pores.

Abstract: Embodiments for producing un-agglomerated, monodisperse droplets using a liquid sheet are provided. Nozzles with exit slit openings shape a spray liquid into a thin liquid sheet as the spray liquid exits from the slit opening. Stable multi-jet operation is achieved by including notches along the edge of the slit. The notches separate the liquid sheet into multiple jets to provide anchoring and stable multi jet operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to nickel-coated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheet composite powder, its preparation and high-performance composite ceramic cutting tool material. The composite powder has a core-shell structure with BNNS as the core and Ni as the shell. The self-lubricating ceramic cutting tool material is prepared by wet ball milling mixing and vacuum hot-pressing sintering with a phase alumina as the matrix, tungsten-titanium carbide as the reinforcing phase, nickel-coated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheet composite powder as the solid lubricant and magnesium oxide and yttrium oxide as the sintering aids. The invention also provides preparation methods of the nickel-coated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheet composite powder and the self-lubricating ceramic cutting tool material.
