1 Introduction
Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys exhibit significantly improved high temperature mechanical properties, which are potential structural materials for the key components used in nuclear industry and power industry [1,2]. Oxide particles dispersed in the metal matrix, act as obstacles to the movement of dislocations and migration of grain boundaries, and are the most important strengthening phase in the ODS alloys [3-5]. The particle size and the distribution of the oxide in the metal matrix have great influence on the mechanical properties of the ODS alloys [6-8]. When the oxide particles are refined to a certain degree and extremely homogeneously distributed in the matrix, coherent interfacial structure between the oxide particles and the matrix is formed. As a result, the strength and the hardness of the ODS alloys are greatly improved without significant decrease in the plasticity [2]. Therefore, the key of the preparation of high performance ODS alloys is the refinement and the uniform distribution of oxide particles in the metal matrix [9-11].
Mechanical alloying (MA) is the main technique used to synthesize Ni-based ODS alloy powder [12-14]. The MA process facilitates the uniform dispersion of nanosized oxides in the metal matrix. However, the MA is an energy- and time-consuming process, which is not suitable for the mass production of ODS alloy power. Additionally, the aggregation of the MA powder easily induces the nonuniform distribution of oxides [15,16]. Moreover, the MA powder exhibits obvious work- hardening behavior because of the super-heavy plastic deformation. The hard powder can be fully consolidated only by the joint operation of pressure and high temperature, such as hot isostatic pressing and hot extrusion [17-20]. Therefore, the synthesis of Ni-based alloy powder with uniform dispersion of ultrafine oxides by a simple, easy, and cheap route has received great attention. This is of great importance for the successful application of Ni-based ODS alloys.
In the present work, solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method was utilized to prepare Ni-Y2O3 nanocomposite powder. Firstly, homogeneous powder mixture consisting of NiO and Y2O3 particles was prepared by the SCS method. Subsequently, the reducible NiO was transformed to Ni during reduction process, while the unreducible Y2O3 particles remained. The advantages of this synthesis technique include energy-and time-saving, simple procedure and ease of chemical composition design [21,22]. More importantly, aqueous combustion reaction facilitates the mixture of raw materials at molecular level, which is beneficial to the uniform distribution of the elements, to form a kind of nanocomposite powder, and further facilitates the uniform distribution of the nanosized oxide particles in the sintered specimens. The phase analysis, morphologies, structures and element distribution of Ni-Y2O3 nanocomposite powder were characterized. The oxide particles in the sintered specimen were observed.
2 Experimental
2.1 Starting materials
Nanocomposite powder of Ni-1%Y2O3 (mass fraction, referred to as Ni-Y2O3 hereafter) was synthesized via solution combustion followed by hydrogen reduction. Nickel nitrate (Ni(NO3)2·6H2O, 99% in purity), yttrium nitrate (Y(NO3)3·6H2O, 99% in purity), urea (CO(NH2)2, 99% in purity) and glucose (C6H12O6·H2O, 99% in purity) were used as raw materials. The molar ratio of urea to nickel nitrate (referred to as U/Ni) in solution was in the range of 0-1, and the mixing molar ratio of glucose to nickel nitrate was constant at 1.
2.2 Synthesis procedure
The schematic of this process is shown in Fig. 1. Ni-Y2O3 nanocomposite powder was synthesized via solution combustion method, using nitrates, urea and glucose as oxidizer, fuel and dispersing agent, respectively. Organic reagent (urea and glucose) can coordinate with metal cations (Ni2+ and Y3+) to form complex coordination compound [23,24]. First, nickel nitrate, yttrium nitrate, urea and glucose were dissolved in the deionized water to form a transparent solution. The solution was then heated in an open container on a hotplate, followed by the evaporation of the water. Upon reaching a critical temperature, the nitrate started decomposition and induced fuel ignition. After the reactants were exhausted, puffy, fine combusted powder was obtained. Then, the powder mixtures were reduced in a flow of hydrogen for 2 h. In order to observe the oxide particles containing in the Ni-based ODS alloy powder, the reduced powder was consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1145 °C and 40 MPa for 5 min.
2.3 Characterization
Thermal gravimetric/differential thermal analysis of the solution was performed in air at a heating rate of 10 °C/min using a Rigaku DT-40 thermal analyzer. Specific surface area (SSA) of the combusted powder was measured by the BET method. Phase constituents of the products were identified by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) using a Rigaku D/max-RB12 X-ray diffractometer with Cu Kα (λ=0.1542 nm) radiation. The morphology and chemical composition of the products were examined by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM, JEOL, JSM-7001F). The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images were obtained on a microscope (JEOL, JEM-2010).
3 Results and discussion
3.1 Characterization of combusted powder
SCS is in essence a redox exothermic reaction between oxidizer and reducer. During heating, urea (reducer) initially decomposes to biuret and ammonia and then at a higher temperature to cyanuric acid, while nickel nitrate and yttrium nitrate (oxidizer) could decompose to nitrogen oxides [25]. Subsequently, highly exothermic gas-phase reaction between N2O and NH3 drives the combustion process, and promotes the forming of oxides and gas products [26]. During the combustion process, nickel and yttrium nitrates convert into ultrafine nickel oxide and yttria oxide.

2Y(NO3)3·6H2O+5CO(NH2)2=Y2O3+5CO2+5N2+22H2O (2)
Glucose is used to control the combustion temperature and to ameliorate the dispersibility of the powder [22,27]. The heat generated in the combustion reaction leads to the dehydration and carbonization of glucose (Eq. (3)). The exothermic reaction between carbon and oxygen takes place in air (Eq. (4)), and part of NiO is reduced (Eq. (5)).
C6H12O6·H2O=6C+7H2O (3)
2C+O2=2CO (4)
NiO+CO=Ni+CO2 (5)
In this way, the powder that contains a homogeneous mixture of Y2O3 and NiO was obtained. After the powder mixture was reduced in hydrogen atmosphere, Ni-Y2O3 nanocomposite powder was obtained.
Figure 2 shows the TG and DTA curves obtained from the dried solution precursor. A sharp mass loss of nearly 35% from room temperature to 160 °C is observed on the TG curve, which corresponds to a large endothermic peak in the temperature range of 130-140 °C. This is ascribed to the accelerated evaporation of water and the dehydration reaction of the dried solution precursor [22]. Equations (1) and (2) describe the drastic exothermic peak at 150 °C in the DTA curve, and Eq. (3) may occur in this region. Another exothermic peak is observed at 334 °C, accompanied by minor mass loss, corresponding to the oxidation of carbon generated by the decomposition of glucose, as indicated by Eq. (4). As the temperature further increases to above 450 °C, the mass of the sample keeps nearly constant.
Fig. 2 TG and DTA curves of dried solution precursor
The size and morphology of the combusted powder were identified by FESEM and TEM. SEM images of the combusted powder synthesized with different U/Ni ratios are presented in Fig. 3. It is noted that the combusted powder consists of porous and loosely bound powder. The puffy structure and plenty of tiny pores are induced by a large amount of escaping gases during combustion process [27]. The combusted powder prepared without urea mainly consists of blocky-shaped particles of up to ~200 μm, as shown in Fig. 3(a). It is observed that the size of the combusted powder decreases rapidly with increasing U/Ni ratio (Figs. 3(a)-(d)). The appearance of this trend is due to the increase of the gases generated in the reaction between urea and nitrates (as shown by Eq. (1) and Eq. (2)), and these gases can both disperse the combusted powder and reduce the reaction temperature. When the U/Ni ratio is further increased, the size of the combusted powder increases slowly (Figs. 3(e) and (f)). The increase of fuel enhances the exothermic heat of reaction, resulting in the increase of reaction temperature and the agglomeration of combusted powder.
Table 1 shows the specific surface area (SSA) of the combusted powder prepared with different U/Ni ratios. It is discernible that at first the SSA increases with increasing U/Ni ratio and reaches the maximum (17.311 m2/g) at the U/Ni ratio of 0.6. This behavior may be ascribed to the rapid growth in the amount of gases generated during the reaction reinforcing the dispersant effect on the particles of combusted powder. As the U/Ni ratio surpasses 0.6, the SSA of the combusted powder starts decreasing with the increase of U/Ni ratio owing to the enhancement of the enthalpy and adiabatic flame temperature during the reaction [28]. Hence, the microstructural observations are in good agreement with SSA measurements.
Table 1 Specific surface area of combusted powders prepared with different U/Ni ratios
Figure 4 shows the morphology of the combusted powder prepared with U/Ni ratio of 0.6. The combusted powder exhibits mainly the agglomeration of a large population of nanoparticles with size less than 200 nm (Figs. 4(a) and (b)). Figure 4(c) shows the morphology of the powder after ultrasonic dispersion. It is suggested that the large size of combusted powders is due to the soft aggregation of nanosized particles. To get more information about the combusted powder, the samples were characterized by TEM, as shown in Fig. 4(d). It is obvious that the flaky shaped combusted powders have nanocrystalline size of ~10 nm.

Figure 5 demonstrates the XRD patterns of the combusted powder prepared with different U/Ni ratios. The peaks of cubic-Ni (JCPDS No. 04-0850) and NiO (JCPDS No. 47-1049) can be observed in the combusted powder [26], while the peaks of Y2O3 are absent. That is because the amount of Y2O3 is too small to be detected by XRD [29].

3.2 Characterization of hydrogen reduced powder
To obtain Ni-Y2O3 nanocomposite powder, the combusted powder was reduced in hydrogen atmosphere at different temperatures for 2 h. It is found that the obtained powder after reduction below 700 °C can get spontaneously combusted at the room temperature. XRD patterns of Ni-Y2O3 powder reduced at different temperatures (700-1000 °C) are presented in Fig. 6. It can be seen that all the patterns have the typical cubic-Ni (JCPDS No. 04-0850) feature. Obvious broadening of the peaks is observed for the reduced powder, indicating the small crystalline size of the powder. The average crystalline size of the cubic-nickel phase is evaluated by the Scherrer formula and the result is summarized in Table 2. The crystalline sizes of the reduced powder become less than 100 nm when the reduction temperature is below 900 °C, and the crystalline size increases with the increase of reduction temperature.
Table 2 Crystallite size of powders reduced at different temperatures
In order to ascertain whether Y2O3 was generated during the synthesis process, Ni-5%Y2O3 powder was analyzed by XRD, and the results are shown in Fig. 7. After reduction at 700 °C, the reduction reaction has been completed, and the reduced powder is identified as cubic-Y2O3 (JCPDS No. 43-0661) and cubic-Ni (JCPDS No. 04-0850) [30]. The peaks at 2θ=29.4°, 34.0° and 44.8° indicate the planes of (111), (200) and (220) of cubic-Y2O3, respectively. The peaks at 2θ=44.5°, 51.8° and 76.4° indicate the planes of (111), (200) and (220) of cubic-Ni , respectively.
Fig. 7 XRD patterns of Ni-5%Y2O3 powder: (a) Combusted powder; (b) Reduced powder at 700 °C
Figure 8 displays the photographs of the powder reduced at 700 °C. The structure of the reduced powder is similar to that of the combusted powder, and the nanoparticles grow up after reduction process (Figs. 8(a) and (b)). Figure 8(b) displays the TEM image of the reduced powder. The powder consists of flakes with crystalline size of ~20 nm. Figure 8(c) shows the HRTEM image of the reduced powder. The measured interplanner spacing is ~0.31 nm, which is in good agreement with the lattice spacing of the (111) plane of Y2O3. The measured interplanner spacing of ~0.20 nm, 0.18 nm and 0.12 nm is in good agreement with the lattice spacing of the (111) , (200) and (220) planes of Ni, respectively. The HRTEM result suggests that Y2O3 particles disperse in Ni matrix with the size of ~10 nm. Figure 8(d) presents the EDS results of the region marked by the arrow in Fig. 8(b). It is confirmed that the reduced powder contains Ni, Y and O. The Cu peak is attributed to the mesh holder for TEM observation. The EDS analysis reveals that each reduced powder is Ni-Y2O3 nanocomposite powder.
Figure 9(a) displays the TEM image of the spark plasma sintered specimens. Black dots with the size of 10-20 nm are observed. The distribution of nano-oxide particles in the matrix is relatively uniform, which is associated with the homogeneous mixture of the solution precursor. Figure 9(b) shows the EDS analysis of the oxide particle marked by the arrow in Fig. 9(a). It reveals that the oxide is composed of Y and O. Combining the XRD result, this oxide is confirmed to be Y2O3 oxides.
