A group of methods has been used to produce CoTi and CoTi（Zr） crystals to prevent the formation of titanium oxide particles during melting and crystal growth. The results show that more oxides formed when using powdered starting materials even though the metals handled were and melted under an inert gas atmosphere; using bulk starting materials produced alloys showed less oxidation than powders, but adding a small amount of AI to getter the oxygen was not sufficient to prevent TiO2 formation. However, using a slightly reducing atmosphere during initial melting was highly effective in reducing the formation of oxide. Crystal growth carried out in Ar did not reduce the amount of oxide but only redistributed the particles. TiO2 particles were found only in the grain boundaries after crystal growing, where they obstructed grain growth. Crystal growth in a vacuum was found to be essential in producing oxide free crystals. A seed selection technique was developed and used in growing CoTi single crystals. The microstructures of the samples were determined using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, including the morphologies, grain sizes, oxide distributions and crystal structure confirmation.展开更多
The effect of pH values on synthesizing single-phase CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders,and BaCoTiFe- 10O- 19, was investigated employing corrosion versus pH plot (E-pH plot) for metal element,...The effect of pH values on synthesizing single-phase CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders,and BaCoTiFe- 10O- 19, was investigated employing corrosion versus pH plot (E-pH plot) for metal element, thermodynamic calculation, and co-dump coprecipitation. The pH values of complete coprecipitation of all Fe 3+, Ti 4+, Co 2+ and Ba 2+ cations are 9-12 and higher than 7.9 on the basis of E-pH plot analysis and thermodynamic calculation, respectively. The minimum pH value necessary to the formation of single-phase BaCoTiFe- 10O- 19 is 8.5 in the light of the co-dump coprecipitation.These results indicate that the coprecipitation process for synthesizing CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders is simultaneously influenced by synergetic coprecipation effect of cations and coordination effect of Cl-anions. The test time of the minimum pH value corresponding to forming a series of single-phase CoTi-substituted barium M-type ferrite ultrafine powders,and BaCo-xTi-xFe- 12-2xO- 19, may be significantly reduced by using the effects of two new factors on the coprecipitation process.展开更多
