Abstract
In the current work, we semi-empirically investigate the load-independent Vickers hardness values of vanadium added Bi-2223 compounds in the plateau limit regions evaluated from the experimental microhardness graphics (Vickers hardness parameters versus applied indentation test loads) to determine the role of vanadium particles on the general mechanical characteristics with the aid of six mechanical modeling approaches, namely law of Meyer, proportional sample resistance, elastic/plastic deformation, modified proportional sample resistance, Hays-Kendall and indentation-induced cracking models. Throughout the study, the samples are prepared with the different molar rations varying from x=0 to 0.3 by the conventional ceramic method in the normal atmospheric pressure at the room temperature conditions. All the model findings show that the mechanical performances tend to constantly reduce with increasing the vanadium concentration level embedded in the Bi-2223 superconducting crystal system. This is in accordance to the fact that the concentration level of vanadium remarkably damages the main structural problems and permanent irreversible deformations. In this respect, it is not wrong to verify that the vanadium inclusions unstabilize the inherit durable tetragonal phase of Bi-2223 inorganic solids, resulting in the regression in the mechanical durability (resistance towards to the applied loads) in case of the applied test loads. Moreover, the models indicate that every material prepared exhibits the conventional indentation size effect (related to the formation of elastic and plastic deformations in the host crystal structures simultaneously due to the recovery of systems) but within the suppression trend. Shortly, all the semi-empiric models preferred in the present work are found to be useful descriptors to define the suitable relationship between the ion-addition mechanism in the crystal lattice and mechanical durability/performances of vanadium-added Bi-2223 materials. We should, of course, declare here that Hays–Kendall approach is gathered to be the best approach model for the load-independent Vickers hardness values in the plateau limit regions.
