Combining first-principles calculations with micromagnetic simulations, we investigate recently synthesized ultrathin perovskite bismuth ferrite(BFO) films. Our numerical results reveal that, at the monolayer limit, the ferroelectricity of BFO is missing because the octahedral distortions are constrained. However, the monolayer bismuth ferrite is a topological antiferromagnetic metal with tunable bimeron magnetic structure. The dual topologically non-trivial characteristics make monolayer bismuth ferrite a multifunctional building block in future spintronic devices.展开更多

Thermodynamic analysis of NiClz-FeC12-（NH4）2C204-H20 system for precipitation identified that the theoretical optimum co-precipitation pH value is 2, and C2O2 has strong complexation with Ni2＋ and Fe2＋ ions. Based on these theoretical considerations, the effects of parameters on the precipitation rates and precursors size were investigated systematically. The results show that the optimum co-precipitation conditions are pH=2, temperature 45 ℃, 1.2 times theoretical amount of （NH4）2C204 dosage and 3% PEG400 addition. Under these conditions, the precipitation rates of Ni2＋ and Fe2＋ are both over 99.8%, with the precursors size of 1-2 urn. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis （TG-DTA） demonstrate that the precursors are single-phase solid solution, wherein the nickel/iron atoms are replaced by the iron/nickel atoms reciprocally.展开更多

文摘The competition between dimensionality and ordering in multiferroic materials is of great interest for both fundamental physics and potential applications. Combining first-principles calculations with micromagnetic simulations, we investigate recently synthesized ultrathin perovskite bismuth ferrite(BFO) films. Our numerical results reveal that, at the monolayer limit, the ferroelectricity of BFO is missing because the octahedral distortions are constrained. However, the monolayer bismuth ferrite is a topological antiferromagnetic metal with tunable bimeron magnetic structure. The dual topologically non-trivial characteristics make monolayer bismuth ferrite a multifunctional building block in future spintronic devices.

文摘To realize the application of electromagnetic wave absorption(EWA)devices in humid marine environments,bifunctional EWA materials with better EWA capacities and anticorrosion properties have great exploration significance and systematic research re-quirements.By utilizing the low-cost and excellent magnetic and stable chemical characteristics of barium ferrite(BaFe_(12)O_(19))and using the high dielectric loss and excellent chemical inertia of nanocarbon clusters,a new type of nanocomposites with carbon nanoclusters en-capsulating BaFe_(12)O_(19)was designed and synthesized by combining an impregnation method and a high-temperature calcination strategy.Furthermore,Ce-Mn ions were introduced into the BaFe_(12)O_(19)lattice to improve the dielectric and magnetic properties of BaFe_(12)O_(19)cores significantly,and the energy band structure of the doped lattice and the orders of Ce replacing Fe sites were calculated.Benefiting from Ce-Mn ion doping and carbon nanocluster encapsulation,the composite material exhibited excellent dual functionality of corrosion resist-ance and EWA.When BaCe_(0.2)Mn_(0.3)Fe_(11.5)O_(19)-C(BCM-C)was calcined at 600°C,the minimum reflection loss of-20.1 dB was achieved at 14.43 GHz.The Ku band’s effective absorption bandwidth of 4.25 GHz was achieved at an absorber thickness of only 1.3 mm.The BCM-C/polydimethylsiloxane coating had excellent corrosion resistance in the simulated marine environment(3.5wt%NaCl solution).The|Z|0.01Hz value of BCM-C remained at 106Ω·cm^(2)after 12 soaking days.The successful preparation of the BaFe_(12)O_(19)composite en-capsulated with carbon nanoclusters provides new insights into the preparation of multifunctional absorbent materials and the fabrication of absorbent devices applied in humid marine environments in the future.

文摘In 316L austenitic stainless steel,the presence of ferrite phase severely affects the non-magnetic properties.316L austenitic stainless steel with low-alloy type(L-316L)and high-alloy type(H-316L)has been studied.The microstructure and solidification kinetics of the two as-cast grades were in situ observed by high temperature confocal laser scanning microscopy(HT-CLSM).There are significant differences in the as-cast microstructures of the two 316L stainless steel compositions.In L-316L steel,ferrite morphology appears as the short rods with a ferrite content of 6.98%,forming a dual-phase microstructure consisting of austenite and ferrite.Conversely,in H-316L steel,the ferrite appears as discontinuous network structures with a content of 4.41%,forming a microstructure composed of austenite and sigma(σ)phase.The alloying elements in H-316L steel exhibit a complex distribution,with Ni and Mo enriching at the austenite grain boundaries.HT-CLSM experiments provide the real-time observation of the solidification processes of both 316L specimens and reveal distinct solidification modes:L-316L steel solidifies in an FA mode,whereas H-316L steel solidifies in an AF mode.These differences result in ferrite and austenite predominantly serving as the nucleation and growth phases,respectively.The solidification mode observed by experiments is similar to the thermodynamic calculation results.The L-316L steel solidified in the FA mode and showed minimal element segregation,which lead to a direct transformation of ferrite to austenite phase(δ→γ)during phase transformation after solidification.Besides,the H-316L steel solidified in the AF mode and showed severe element segregation,which lead to Mo enrichment at grain boundaries and transformation of ferrite into sigma and austenite phases through the eutectoid reaction(δ→σ+γ).

文摘High-entropy design is attracting growing interest as it offers unique structures and unprecedented application potential for ma-terials.In this article,a novel high-entropy ferrite(CoNi)_(x/2)(CuZnAl)_((1-x)/3)Fe_(2)O_(4)(x=0.25,0.34,0.40,0.50)with a single spinel phase of space group Fd3m was successfully developed by the solid-state reaction method.By tuning the Co-Ni content,the magnetic properties of the material,especially the coercivity,changed regularly,and the microwave absorption properties were improved.In particular,the ef-fective absorption bandwidth of the material increased from 4.8 to 7.2 GHz,and the matched thickness decreased from 3.9 to 2.3 mm,while the minimum reflection loss remained below-20 dB.This study provides a practical method for modifying the properties of fer-rites used to absorb electromagnetic waves.

文摘W-type barium-nickel ferrite(BaNi_(2)Fe_(16)O_(27))is a highly promising material for electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption be-cause of its magnetic loss capability for EMW,low cost,large-scale production potential,high-temperature resistance,and excellent chemical stability.However,the poor dielectric loss of magnetic ferrites hampers their utilization,hindering enhancement in their EMW-absorption performance.Developing efficient strategies that improve the EMW-absorption performance of ferrite is highly desired but re-mains challenging.Here,an efficient strategy substituting Ba^(2+)with rare earth La^(3+)in W-type ferrite was proposed for the preparation of novel La-substituted ferrites(Ba_(1-x)LaxNi_(2)Fe_(15.4)O_(27)).The influences of La^(3+)substitution on ferrites’EMW-absorption performance and the dissipative mechanism toward EMW were systematically explored and discussed.La^(3+)efficiently induced lattice defects,enhanced defect-induced polarization,and slightly reduced the ferrites’bandgap,enhancing the dielectric properties of the ferrites.La^(3+)also enhanced the ferromagnetic resonance loss and strengthened magnetic properties.These effects considerably improved the EMW-absorption perform-ance of Ba_(1-x)LaxNi_(2)Fe_(15.4)O_(27)compared with pure W-type ferrites.When x=0.2,the best EMW-absorption performance was achieved with a minimum reflection loss of-55.6 dB and effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 3.44 GHz.

文摘Fine nickel ferrite precursors NiFe2（C204）3·6H2O were obtained via co-precipitation method with low grade nickel matte as the raw material. Thermodynamic analysis of NiClz-FeC12-（NH4）2C204-H20 system for precipitation identified that the theoretical optimum co-precipitation pH value is 2, and C2O2 has strong complexation with Ni2＋ and Fe2＋ ions. Based on these theoretical considerations, the effects of parameters on the precipitation rates and precursors size were investigated systematically. The results show that the optimum co-precipitation conditions are pH=2, temperature 45 ℃, 1.2 times theoretical amount of （NH4）2C204 dosage and 3% PEG400 addition. Under these conditions, the precipitation rates of Ni2＋ and Fe2＋ are both over 99.8%, with the precursors size of 1-2 urn. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis （TG-DTA） demonstrate that the precursors are single-phase solid solution, wherein the nickel/iron atoms are replaced by the iron/nickel atoms reciprocally.
文摘Copper-zinc-nickel(Cu-Zn-Ni)ferrite nanoparticles are used for wastewater treatment technology.However,low degradation efficiency and stability are two main issues that make them unsuitable for actual production needs.In this paper,the citrate-nitrate auto-combustion method was applied for the formation of Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4);(0≤x≤0.1;step 0.02)(CZNL)nanoferrites.Although the substitution process entails the replacement of a small ion with a larger one,the lattice constant and crystallite size does not exhibit a consistent incremental pattern.This behavior is justified and discussed.The size of all the CZNL ferrite nanoparticles is in the range of 8-12 nm,and the lattice constant is in the range of 8.6230 to 8.4865 nm.The morphological analysis conducted using field emission-scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM)reveals that the CZNL exhibits agglomerated spherical morphology.The energy dispersive X-ray spectrameter(EDAX)analysis was employed to confirm the elemental composition of CZNL nanoferrites.Since the process entails the substitution of Fe^(3+)magnetic ions with nonmagnetic ions La^(3+),the magnetic parameters of CZNL nanoferrites show a general decreasing trend as predicted.At 20 K,saturation magnetization Ms shows an overall drop in its values from 59.302 emu/g at x=0.0-41.295 emu/g at x=0.1,the smallest value of 37.87 emu/g is recorded at x=0.06.the highest coercivity(H_(c)=125.9 Oe)and remanence(M_(r)=13.32 emu/g)are recorded for x=0.08 and x=0.04 nanoferrite,respectvely.The band gap of all the CZNL nanoferrites was determined using the Kubelka-Munk function and Tauc plot for direct permitted transitions.La doping modifies the band gap(within 1.86-1.75 eV),increases light absorption,induces efficient e/h separation and charge migration to Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4)surfaces.The nanoferrite Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(0.06)Fe_(1.94)O_(4)achieves a degradation efficiency of 97.3%for methylene blue(MB)dye removal after just 60 min.After five recycling processes,the nanocatalyst Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(0.06)Fe_(1.94)O_(4)is degraded by 95.83%,resulting in a negligible1.51%decrease in photocatalytic activity efficiency.The new Cu_(0.5)Zn_(0.25)Ni_(0.25)La_(0.06)Fe_(1.94)O_(4)has exceptional photocatalytic activity and remarkable stability,making it a promising candidate for applications in wastewater treatment.

文摘Al_(2)O_(3)and MgO serve as the primary gangue components in sintered ores,and they are critical for the formation of CaO-Fe_(2)O_(3)-xAl_(2)O_(3)(wt%,C-F-xA)and CaO-Fe_(2)O_(3)-xM gO(wt%,C-F-xM)systems,respectively.In this study,a nonisothermal crystallization thermodynamics behavior of C-F-xA and C-F-xM systems was examined using differential scanning calorimetry,and a phase identification and microstructure analysis for C-F-xA and C-F-xM systems were carried out by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.Results showed that in C-F-2A and C-F-2M systems,the increased cooling rates promoted the precipitation of CaFe_(2)O_(4)(CF)but inhibited the formation of Ca_(2)Fe_(2)O_(5)(C2F).In addition,C-F-2A system exhibited a lower theoretical initial crystallization temperature(1566 K)compared to the C-F system(1578 K).This temperature further decreases to 1554 K and 1528 K in the C-F-4A and C-F-8A systems,respectively.However,in C-F-xM system,the increased MgO content raised the crystallization temperature.This is because that the enhanced precipitation of MF(a spinel phase mainly comprised Fe_(3)O_(4)and MgFe_(2)O_(4))and C2F phases suppressed the CF precipitation reaction.In kinetic calculations,the Ozawa method revealed the apparent activation energies of the C-F-2A and C-F-2M systems.Malek's method revealed that the crystallization process in C-F-2A system initially followed a logarithmic law(lnαor lnα2),later transitioning to a reaction order law((1-α)-1or(1-α)^(-1/2),n=2/3)or the lnα2function of the exponential law.In C-F-2M system,it consistently followed the sequencef(α)=(1-α)^(2)(αis the crystallization conversion rate;n is the Avrami constant;?(α)is the differential equations for the model function of C_(2)F and CF crystallization processes).
文摘Nanoferrites of the CoMn_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4) series(x=0.00,0.05,0.10,0.15,0.20)were synthesized in this study using the sol-gel auto-combustion approach.The lattice constants were computed within the range of 8.312-8.406Å,while crystallite sizes were estimated to range between 55.20 and 31.40 nm using the Scherrer method.The different functional groups were found to correlate with various ab-sorption bands using Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy.Five active modes were identified by Raman spectroscopy,reveal-ing vibration modes of O2-ions at tetrahedral and octahedral locations.The ferromagnetic hysteresis loop was observed in all the synthes-ized samples,which can be explained by Neel’s model.The results showed that AC conductivity decreased with increasing Mn^(2+)content at the Fe^(2+)site,while the dielectric constant and dielectric loss increased with increasing frequency.Furthermore,the saturation magnetiz-ation(Ms),remnant magnetization(M_(r)),and coercivity(H_(c))all showed declining trends with the increase in Mn^(2+)doping.Finally,the CoMn_(0.20)Fe_(1.8)O_(4) samples showed Ms and M_(r) values ranging from 73.12 to 66.84 emu/g and from 37.77 to 51.89 emu/g,respectively,while Hc values ranged from 1939 to 1312 Oe,after which coercivity increased.Thus,the CoMn_(0.20)Fe_(1.8)O_(4) sample can be considered a prom-ising candidate for magnetic applications.

文摘Structural manipulation plays a crucial role in material design,exerting a significant influence on various aspects of material performance.However,the impact of material microstructure on electromagnetic waves absorption properties has not been thoroughly investigated.In this study,based on ferrites,we controlled the micros tructural morphology by doping with light rare earth element Nd,and then formed heterogeneous structures through composite polypyrrole to enhance its performance.The structural changes in neodymium-doped ferrites and their corresponding variations in performance were systematically analyzed.The results indicate that Nd^(3+)ions doping has a pronounced effect on the microstructure of ferrites,significantly improving their dielectric loss capability for electromagnetic waves.The sample with optimal performance,Sr_(0.75)Nd_(0.25)Co_(2)Fe_(16)O_(27)@PPy,has a value of minimum reflection loss that can reach-63.11 dB,and the effective absorption bandwidth achieves 6.40 GHz at2.27 mm.This study provides instructive thinking for the structural manipulation of MA materials.

文摘Martensitic-based microstructures in low-density steels offer high strength and improved specific strength,combined with the lightweight effect of aluminum(Al).However,while Al effectively reduces density,it simultaneously promotes the formation of coarse ferrite and expands the two-phase(α+γ)intercritical temperature range.Thus,increasing the Al content for higher weight reduction inevitably leads to ferrite formation and impedes further strengthening.To achieve both high strength and duc-tility while incorporating ferrite,it is crucial to elucidate the effects of ferrite fraction,size,and dis-tribution on mechanical properties and deformation behavior,particularly in relation to phase interac-tions.In this study,three model steels were developed through controlled annealing temperatures,pro-ducing distinct triplex microstructures comprising ferrite,martensite,and retained austenite(RA).The role of each phase in strain partitioning was investigated using ex-situ microscopic digital image cor-relation and electron back-scattered diffraction analysis.Key findings reveal that the martensitic matrix ensures an ultrahigh strength level(1758 MPa),while a moderate fraction(∼17%)and homogeneous dis-tribution of intercritical-ferrite(IC-ferrite)enable sustainable strain-hardening behavior by delaying the transformation-induced plasticity(TRIP)effect.Strain partitioning into IC-ferrite reduces local strains in the martensitic matrix,preventing early exhaustion of the TRIP effect and facilitating ductile fracture behavior.This strategy leverages the presence of ferrite,offering significant advantages for applications requiring both ultrahigh strength and ductility.

文摘The intrinsic high magnetocrystalline anisotropy equivalent field can help the hexaferrites break through Snoek’s limit and increase the resonance frequency.This is advantageous for microwave absorption applications in the mid to low-frequency range of gigahertz.In this study,we prepared Z-type Ba_(3)Co_(1.6−x)Zn_(x)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)hexaferrites using the sol-gel auto-combustion method.By changing the ratio of Co and Zn ions,the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of ferrite is further ma-nipulated,resulting in significant changes in their magnetic resonance frequency and intensity.Ba_(3)Zn_(1.6)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)with high-frequency resonance achieved the lowest reflectivity of−72.18 dB at 15.56 GHz,while Ba_(3)Co_(1.5)Zn_(0.1)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)with stronger loss obtained the widest bandwidth of 4.93 GHz(6.14-11.07).Additionally,we investigated surface wave suppression properties previously overlooked.Ba_(3)Co_(1.5)Zn_(0.1)Cu_(0.4)Fe_(24)O_(41)can achieve a larger attenuation at low frequency under low thickness,which has an excellent effect on reducing backscattering.This work provides a useful reference for the preparation and application of high-performance magnetic-loss materials.

文摘High-alumina iron ores(Al_(2)O_(3) content>3.0wt%)are widely utilized in sinter production due to their economic benefits,yet their high alumina content challenges the performance of sinter and the stability of blast furnaces.This study focuses on the application of high-alumina composite calcium ferrites(SFCA)in the sintering of high-alumina iron ores.By prefabricating calcium ferrites,we aimed to substitute phase adjustment for compositional tuning,particularly examining its effects on enhancing sinter quality at 30wt%,50wt%,and 100wt%replacement ratios of Al_(2)O_(3).Previous work developed two types of high-alumina SFCA(A-type and B-type),with A-type demonstrating superior experimental performance.Our results indicate that increasing the proportion of A-type SFCA in the raw materi-als leads to higher calcium ferrite and composite calcium ferrite contents,while decreasing the proportions of Al_(2)O_(3),CaO,SiO_(2),calcium silicate,and calcium alumino-ferrite(CaAl_(x)Fe_(2-x)O_(4)).Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and mineralogical analyses reveal that sinter substituted with A-type SFCA primarily consists of SFCA and calcium ferraluminate(CFA),with increasing calcium ferrite content and decreasing porosity and silicate content as the substitution ratio increases.Complete substitution of Al_(2)O_(3) with A-type SFCA enhances the compressive strength of the sinters to 22.57 MPa,a 6.76 MPa improvement over traditional methods.With 100wt%substitution,the redu-cibility reaches 0.85,a 0.33 increase over the baseline(A-type and B-type SFCA are not added).A cost-effective method for SFCA pro-duction using high-alumina ores,hazardous waste,and iron-calcium-based solid waste is proposed to lower production costs and promote the recycling of industrial solid waste.A-type SFCA exhibits significant advantages in mechanical properties,reducibility,and melting characteristics,validating its potential in optimizing sinter performance and reducing carbon emissions,thereby laying a theoretical and practical foundation for the industrial application of high-alumina SFCA.

文摘The substantial influences of Mo contents varying from 0 to 0.26 and 0.50 wt.%on the microstructural evolution and MX(M=Nb,V and Mo;X=C and N)precipitation characteristics of Nb–V–N microalloyed steels processed by hot deformation and continuous cooling were studied using a Gleeble 3800 thermomechanical simulator.Metallographic analysis showed that the ferrite microstructure transformed from polygonal ferrite(PF)in 0Mo steel to both acicular ferrite(AF)and PF in 0.26Mo and 0.50Mo steels,and AF content first increased and then decreased.The thermodynamic calculations and the experimental results proved that the quantity of solid solution of Mo in austenite obviously increased,which reduced the austenite(γ)to ferrite(α)transformation temperature,consequently promoting AF formation in 0.26Mo steel and bainite transformation in 0.50Mo steel.Moreover,the submicron Nb-rich MX particles that precipitated at the temperature of the austenite region further induced AF heterogeneous nucleation with an orientation relationship of(100)_(MX)//(100)_(Ferrite)and[■][001]Ferrite.The interphase precipitation of the nanosized V-rich MX particles with Mo partitioning that precipitated duringγ→αtransformation exhibited a Baker–Nutting orientation relationship of(100)_(MX)//(100)Ferrite and[001]_(MX)//[■]_(Ferrite)with respect to the ferrite matrix.With increasing Mo content from 0 to 0.26 and 0.50 wt.%,the sheet spacing decreased from 46.9–49.0 to 34.6–38.6 and 25.7–28.0 nm,respectively,which evidently hindered dislocation movement and greatly enhanced precipitation strengthening.Furthermore,facilitating AF formation and interphase precipitation was beneficial to improving steel properties,and the optimal Mo content was 0.26 wt.%.

文摘The Ni-ZnFe_(2)O_(4)(NixZn_(1-x)Fe_(2)O_(4),x=0.4-0.7)spinel was synthesized using Zn2+extracted from electric arc furnace dust(EAFD),nickel chloride hexahydrate,and Fe^(3+)extracted from iron scale as raw materials.The zinc was selectively extracted from EAFD using CaO roasting followed by NH_(4)Cl solution leaching.The ferric ion was leached from iron scale using HCl solution as acid lixiviant.The experimental results demonstrate a high level of efficiency in the extraction of zinc,with a rate of 97.5%,and the leaching rate of ferric ion is 96.89%.The composition of the leaching solution is primary zinc and iron with low calcium,which is beneficial to the preparation of spinel ferrite.The influence of Ni content(x)and calcination temperature on the synthesis and magnetic properties of NixZn_(1-x)Fe_(2)O_(4)compounds was investigated by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,and vibrating sample magnetometry.The results revealed that both Ni content and calcination temperature significantly affect the synthesis and magnetic properties of spinel NixZn_(1-x)Fe_(2)O_(4).Under the conditions of Ni content set at x=0.6,calcination temperature of 1100℃,and a duration of 2 h,a spinel NixZn_(1-x)Fe_(2)O_(4)with high saturation magnetization(Ms=65.7 A m2 kg-1)and low coercivity(Hc=0.056 A m^(-1))was obtained.

文摘With the gradual reduction in high-quality iron ore resources,the global steel industry faces long-term challenges.For example,the continuous increase in the Al_(2)O_(3) content of iron ore has led to a decrease in the metallurgical performance of sinter and fluctuations in slag properties.Considering calcium ferrite(CF)and composite CF(silico-ferrite of calcium and aluminum,SFCA)play a crucial role as a binding phase in high-alkalinity sinter and exhibit excellent physical strength and metallurgical performance,we propose incorporating excess Al_(2)O_(3) into SFCA to form a new binding phase with excellent properties for high-quality sinter preparation.In the synthesis of high-Al_(2)O_(3) SFCA,two high-Al_(2)O_(3) phases were identified as types A(Al_(1.2)Ca_(2.8)Fe_(8.7)O_(2)0Si_(0.8))and B(Ca_(4)Al_(4.18)Fe_(1.82)Si_(6)O_(26)).Results show that type A SFCA sample had a higher cell density(4.13 g/cm^(3))and longer Fe-O bond length(2.2193Å)than type B(3.46 g/cm^(3) and 1.9415Å),with a significantly greater lattice oxygen concentration(7.86%vs.1.85%),which demonstrates advantages in strength and reducibility.Type A SFCA sample contained a lower proportion of silicates,was predominantly composed of SFCA,and exhibited minimal porosity.Melting point and viscosity simulation tests indicate that type A SFCA sample formed a liquid phase at 880°C with a viscosity range of 0-0.35 Pa·s,which is notably lower than that of type B SFCA sample(1220°C and 0-20 Pa·s).This finding suggests that type A SFCA sample has a low initial melting temperature and viscosity,which facilitates increasing liquid-phase generation and improving flow properties.Such a condition enhances the adhesion to surrounding ore particles.Compressive strength tests reveal that type A SFCA sample(36.83-42.48 MPa)considerably outperformed type B SFCA sample(5.98-12.79 MPa)and traditional sinter(5.02-13.68 MPa).In addition,at 900°C,type A SFCA sample achieved a final reducibility of 0.89,which surpassed that of type B SFCA sample(0.83).In summary,type A SFCA sample demonstrates superior structural,thermophysical,and metallurgical properties,which highlights its promising potential for industrial applications.

文摘The phase volume fraction has an important role in the match of the strength and plasticity of dual phase steel.The different bainite contents(18–53 vol.%)in polygonal ferrite and bainite(PF+B)dual phase steel were obtained by controlling the relaxation finish temperature during the rolling process.The effect of bainite volume fraction on the tensile deformability was systematically investigated via experiments and crystal plasticity finite element model(CPFEM)simulation.The experimental results showed that the steel showed optimal strain hardenability and strength–plasticity matching when the bainite reached 35%.The 3D-CPFEM models with the same grain size and texture characters were established to clarify the influence of stress/strain distribution on PF+B dual phase steel with different bainite contents.The simulation results indicated that an appropriate increase in the bainite content(18%–35%)did not affect the interphase strain difference,but increased the stress distribution in both phases,as a result of enhancing the coordinated deformability of two phases and improving the strength–plasticity matching.When the bainite content increased to 53%,the stress/strain difference between the two phases was greatly increased,and plastic damage between the two phases was caused by the reduction of the coordinated deformability.
文摘The present work reports the structural,optical,dielectric,and electrical properties of Eu-Er substituted M-type Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Eu_(x)Er_(x)Fe_(12-2x)O_(19)(x=0.0.05,0.1,0.15,and 0.2)hexaferrites synthesized by sol-gel combustion method.The hexagonal structure of the Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Eu_(x)Er_(x)Fe_(12-2x)O_(19) samples was confirmed from X-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis.The values of lattice parameters of the Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Eu_(x)Er_(x)Fe_(12-2x)O_(19)samples are increased as compared to Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Fe_(12)O_(19) sample.This increase in the value of lattice parameters is attributed to the substitution of larger cations(Eu^(3+)and Er^(3+))in place of smaller cations(Fe^(3+)ions).The crystallite sizes of the Ba0.5Sr0.5EuxErxFe12-2x019 samples also increase due to the substitution of larger cations.The force constants(K_o and K_t)increases with increasing Eu-Er concentration.The octahedral cluster shifts towards the higher wavenumber side whereas the tetrahedral cluster shifts towards the lower wavenumber side due to Eu-Er substitution in the Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectra.The photoluminescence(PL)emission spectra for the Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Eu_(x)Er_(x)Fe_(12-2x)O_(19) samples are observed at 365 nm.The dielectric dispersion in the Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Eu_(x)Er_(x)Fe_(12-2x)O_(19) samples can be understood by Koop's theory and Maxwell-Wagner type of inte rfacial polarization.Using Jonscher's power law and the co rrelated barrier hopping(CBH)model,the frequency and temperature-dependent be haviour of ac conductivity of Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Eu_(x)Er_(x)Fe_(12-2x)O_(19) samples are described.The temperature-dependent behaviour of the dc conductivity of the Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Eu_(x)Er_(x)Fe_(12-2x)O_(19) samples is explained by the variable range hopping(VRH)model.The Motto temperature of the sample varies from 4.55×10^(9) to 2.31×10^(8) K.The estimated maximum barrier height(WM)of the compound varies from 0.6603 to 0.1199 eV.The temperature coefficient and activation energy of the samples were also calculated as a function of Eu-Er concentration.
