Nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) and Raman spectroscopy revealed the existence of sixfold coordinated silicon species and network former units(NFUs) in the BaO-SiO2-P2O5 glasses. The glass transition temperature(Tg), which was measured by differential scanning calorimetry, increased rapidly along with the increase of SiO2 from 0 to 10 mol%, then declined and finally increased again, which showed a "Z" trend along with the increase of SiO2 while the density of the glasses showed the opposite trend. When the addition of SiO2 is 16 mol%, Tg decreased to an extremely low value(807.9 K). Besides, the Vickers indentation hardness(Hv) had been significantly enhanced from 4.66 to 6.63 GPa by adding 16 mol% SiO2. Furthermore, the liquid fragility index(m) of the glasses declined slowly firstly and then increased rapidly when the amount of SiO2 is greater than 13 mol%.展开更多

Fabric surfaces were coated at the room temperature in air with the different spray nozzles. Surface analysis of the coated fabric was performed by using Contact Angle and SEM pictures. According to the Contact Angles measurements, the coated fabric surfaces showed hydrophobic character between 126 and 146 degrees, and the SiO2 particles sticked to the fabric fibers as seen from SEM picture.展开更多

The interfacial microstructure and the fractures were examined with an optical microscope （OM） and an S-4700 scanning electron microscope （SEM） equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS） and an electron probe X-ray microanalyzer （EPMA）. The structure of joint interface was identified by XRD （JDX-3530M）. Meanwhile, the fracture paths of the joints were comprehensively studied. The results show that processing parameters, especially the brazing temperature, have a significant effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of joints. The typical interface structure is SiO2/Ti2O＋Zr3Si2＋Ti5Si3/（Ti,Zr）＋Ti2O＋ TiZrNiCu/Ti（s.s）/TiZrNiCu＋Ti（s.s）＋Ti2（Cu,Ni）/TC4 from SiO2 glass ceramic to TC4 alloy side. Based on the mechanical property tests, the joints brazed at 880 ℃ for 5 rain has the maximum shear strength of 23 MPa.展开更多
