Abstract

In this study, It was aimed to produce Ti martis Electroless Ni coated ZrO2 ceramic powders added composites and to reveal the properties of the produced composites by characterizing them. It was preferred to use ceramic-metal powder electroless nickel plating method in sample preparation. While ZrO2, known for its biocompatibility, was chosen as the reinforcement material, Titanium (Ti) powders were preferred as the matrix powder. Different compositions were studied in the experimental phase of the Ti martis Electroless Ni coated ZrO2 ceramic added. After these compositions were prepared, a conventional (tube) oven was used for sintering processes. The sintering temperature was chosen as 1100ᵒC in the tube furnace. After sintering, the samples were examined mechanically, physically and metallographically. SEM-EDX, XRD analyzes and Vikers hardness tests were applied to characterize the produced composites. Additionally, the densities of the produced composites were calculated.


Keywords: Electroless Ni plating, Ceramic-metal composite, Powder metallurgy.
