High propylene selectivity （45%） was similar to ZSM-5-OH synthesized via a hydroxide route. However, ZSM- 5-F showed much longer lifetime （305 h） compared with ZSM-5-OH （157 h） in spite of similar crystal size and aluminum content. Characterization by NH3-TPD. Py-IR, OH-IR, SEM, TG-DTA, XRD and 1H MAS NMR techniques indicated that the enhanced catalytic performance of ZSM-S-F is attributed to the fewer structural defects in the form of internal silanol groups and silanol nests.展开更多

In this study, spot defects on an industrial hot dip galvanized （GI） sheet of an AHSS with 1.5 % Si has been studied in-depth. The surface morphologies of spot defects before and after partial and complete removal of the Zn layer, as well as the interface between the outermost coating layer and the sheet substrate were characterized using optical microscopy （ OM）, scanning electron microscopy （ SEM）, a 3-D optical profiler, energy dispersive spectroscopy（ EDS ） and focused ion beam （FIB） analysis. The most outstanding spot defect on the normally coated area of the steel sheet has a diameter of approximately 500μm, with the following characteristics. In the central region of the spot defect,Zn is barely coated and the sheet substrate is covered by a thin silicon oxide film with dispersed Zn-Fe intermetallics. At the periphery of the spot defect, a burst structure of Zn-Fe intermetallics forms on the sheet substrate. Outside the spot defect where the Zn layer is normally coated, there is a continuous Fe2Al5 inhibition layer between the Zn coating and the sheet substrate. These results indicate that a silicon oxide film forms on the substrate during annealing prior to hot dipping, thus preventing the formation of the Fe2Al5 inhibition layer during hot dipping. This causes spot defects on high Si AHSS sheets.展开更多
