The result indicates that the unit cell parameter c is linearly increased with the increase of Eu2O3 content in Y2O2S： Eu^3＋ （0.01 ≤ x ≤0.10）. On the other hand, the change of unit cell parameter a is not linear dependence. In the Y2O2S： Eu^3 ＋ crystal structure, Eu^3＋ ions only replaced Y^3 ＋ ions＇ places in which it posited center position of c axis. With the increase of Eu2O3 content, the position of the strongest emission peak changed from 540 nm （5D1→^ 7F2 transition） to 626 nm （^5Do→^7TF2 transition）, and the maximum intensity was obtained when x = 0.09 in Y2O2S： Eu^3＋ （0.01 ≤x ≤0.10）. This is due to the environment of trivalent europium in the crystal structure of Y2O2S. Doping with Mg^2＋ or Ti^4＋. ions alone cannot get the good long-lasting afterglow effect, whereas co-doping with Mg^2 ＋ and Ti^4 ＋ ions and excited with 365 nm ultraviolet light, a strong thermoluminesence peak appeared, red and orange long-lasting phosphorescence （LLP） was also observed and the phosphorescence lasted nearly 3 h in the light perception of the dark-adapted human eye （0.32 mcd·m^-2）.

However, the high-aluminum (Al) content in AHSSs may react with SiO2 in conventional CaO-SiO2-based mold flux during the process of continuous casting, which leads to the deterioration of the mold flux properties and a poor slab quality. Then, the non-reactive CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux was proposed and has been developing for the casting process of high-Al steels, but there are some problems of low consumption and insufficient lubrication that need to be solved. Thus, previous researches on the effect of each component on the properties of CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux were systematically summarized, and the situation of plant trials on CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux was evaluated. The results indicated that the proposed CaO-Al2O3-based mold fluxes could avoid the slag-metal reaction problems;however, the problems of lubri-cation, crystallization and heat transfer issues still exist. Therefore, tremendous works still need to be conducted for the development of new generation of CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux system. The review was performed aiming to provide a technical guidance for designing and optimizing CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux system that meets the demand of the continuous casting process of high-Al steels.展开更多

These characteristics are suitable for steelmaking process.Moreover , Fe2O3 has an important fluxing effect on this CaO-based steelmaking fluxes.This indicates that the fluxes system is suitable for steelmaking process.展开更多

The increase in the CaO/Al2O3 ratio from 1 to 2 lowered the viscosity of the flux melts. The viscosity increased slightly with the CaO/Al2O3 ratio from 2 to 3, and this increase became significant with further increasing CaO/Al2O3 ratio to 4. Both break temperature and apparent activation energy were found to be increased with the increase in CaO/Al2O3 ratio from 2 to 4. There was no break temperature available in the flux with CaO/Al2O3 ratio of 1. Changing the CaO/Al2O3 ratio from 1 to 2 decreased the apparent activation energy. Equilibrium phases of the fluxes were calculated using FactSage 7.1 and the major phases were found to be varied with the CaO/Al2O3 ratio. Structures of tested mould fluxes were analysed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that the increase in the CaO/Al2O3 ratio from 1 to 2 decreased the complexity of the structure, leading to a reduced viscosity. With the increase in the CaO/Al2O3 ratio from 2 to 4, both solid phase precipitation and melt structure contributed to the variation of viscosity.展开更多

A long and short tube method was used to accurately calculate the frictional pressure drop, and experimental conditions are supercritical pressures of 4 MPa, mass flow rates of 2–4 g/s(i.e., mass fluxes of 736–1472 kg/(m^(2)·s)), heat fluxes of 100–500 kW/m^(2), and inlet temperatures of 373–673 K. Results show that the sharp variations of thermophysical properties, especially density, have significant influences on frictional resistances.Generally, the frictional pressure drop and the friction factor increase with increasing inlet temperatures, and this trend speeds up in the relatively high-temperature region. However, the friction factor has a sudden decline when the fuel outlet temperature exceeds the pseudo-critical temperature.The frictional pressure drop and the friction factor basically remain unchanged with increasing heat flux when the inlet temperature is relatively low, but increase quickly when the inlet temperature is relatively high. Besides, a larger mass flux yields a higher pressure drop but does not necessarily yield a higher friction factor. Finally, an empirical friction factor correlation is proposed and shows better predictive performance than those of previous models.展开更多

The properties of the BTO/Y2O3co-doped YBCO films with different excess yttrium have been systematically studied by x-ray diffraction（XRD）, Raman spectra, and scanning electron microscope（SEM）. The optimized content of yttrium excess in the BTO/Y2O3co-doped YBCO films is 10 mol.%, and the critical current density is as high as - 17 mA/cm^2（self-field, 65 K） by the magnetic signal. In addition, the Y2Cu2O5 was formed when the content of yttrium excess increases to 24 mol.%, which may result in the deterioration of the superconducting properties and the microstructure. The unique combination of the different types of nanostructures of BTO and Y2O3 in the doped YBCO films, compared with the pure YBCO films and BTO doped YBCO films, enhances the critical current density（JC） not only at the self-magnetic field, but also in the applied magnetic field.展开更多

The crystal growth was conducted by heating a mixture of solute and flux at 1 100 ℃ for 24 h. The evaporation loss of flux depended on the amount of Na2O added to MoO3. Emerald crystals of lengths up to 2.1 mm and widths of 1. 4 mm were grown. The crystal sizes were dependent on the evaporation loss of the flux. The obtained crystals were transparent and exhibited the typical emerald-green color. The form of the emerald crystals was a twelve-sided prism bounded by well-developed faces. The aspect ratios were in the region of 1. 4 to 2. 3. The density was (2. 64±0.02) g/cm3. The IR absorption bands were in good agreement with the literature data.展开更多

Welding smoke and spatter are reduced with the addition of CeF3. The main non-metallic inclusions in weld metal are AlN and Al2O3. CeF3 can refine non-metallic inclusions and reduce the amount of large size inclusions, which is attributed to the inclusion floating behavior during the solidification of weld metal. The low temperature impact toughness is improved by adding suitable amount of CeF3 in the flux.展开更多

CeF3 can refine non-metallic inclusions and reduce the amount of large size inclusions, which is attributed to the inclusion floating behavior during the solidification of weld metal. The low temperature impact toughness is improved by adding suitable amount of CeF3 in the flux.

文摘In order to research the influence of La2O3 on crystallization behavior of free-fluoride mould flux and the heat transfer of slag film,free-fluoride mould flux with various La2O3 content were investigated by using self-made mould simulator,comprehensive thermal analyzer and SEM-EDS.With the increase of La2O3 content from 0% to 20%,the crystallization ratios of mould flux films were improved from 2% to 90% and the thicknesses of films were also enhanced over two times.Moreover,crystallization temperature was greatly raised and its increasing extent reached 100 oC.It could also decrease the melting temperature of casting powder about 50 oC.However,the undissolved La2O3 particles appeared in slag film if the ratio of La2O3 in free-fluoride mould flux was much too high.
