The sintering behavior was studied at different sintering temperatures and additive contents. The change of phase compositions, secondary phase distributions and grain morphologies during sintering process were investigated. It is shown that fully dense ceramics using AIN powder prepared by SHS method can be obtained when the sintering temperature is above 1830 ℃. Both Y2O3content and sintering temperature have an important influence on the formation of Y-Al-O phase and grain shape. When Y2O3content is identified, the grain morphology converts from polyhedron into sphere-like shape with the rise of sintering temperature. At a certain sintering temperature,the grain size decreases with the increase in Y2O3content. The influencing mechanisms of different YAl-O secondary phases and sintering temperatures on the grain size and morphology were also discussed based on the experimental results.展开更多

When the sintering temperature increased, the average grain size increased from 6.1 to 8.7μm and the sintered density decreased from 5.52 to 5.43 g/cm3. The breakdown field decreased from 3856 to 922 V/cm with an increase in the sintering temperature up to 900 °C, whereas a further increase to 2352 V/cm at 925 °C. The nonlinear coefficient increased pronouncedly from 4.6 to 30.0 with an increase in the sintering temperature.

The modified GTN damage model was used to simulate the initiation and propagation of cracks in an as-cast 304 stainless steel with MnS inclusions at 900 C. The simulation results agreed well with the experimental results, indicating that the model can be effectively applied to examine the high-temperature fracture behavior of MnS inclusions. The simulation and high-temperature tensile test results revealed that MnS inclusions increased the number of holes initiation and the probability of hole polymerization, reduced the crack propagation resistance, accelerated the occurrence of material fracture behavior, and were closely related to the stress state at high temperatures. When the stress triaxiality was low, the plastic strain in the metal matrix was high, and the MnS plastic inclusions accelerated the polymerization of the pores, making metal fracture failure more likely. On the other hand, when the stress triaxiality was high, the stress state in the metal matrix was biased to the tensile state, the plastic strain in the metal matrix was low, and the influence of MnS plastic inclusions on the fracture behavior was not evident.展开更多

The oxidation kinetics of Ni-11Fe-10Cu alloy followed parabolic law at 750 °C without spallation and linear law at 950 °C with severe spallation, while that of Ni-11Fe-10Cu-6Al-3Y alloy followed parabolic law at 750 and 950 °C without spallation. The parabolic rate constant （kp） of Ni-11Fe-10Cu was smaller than that of Ni-11Fe-10Cu-6Al-3Y at 750 °C. The oxide scale formed on Ni-11Fe-10Cu at 750 °C was composed of a CuO outer layer, a NiFe2O4 middle layer and a NiO inner layer. The oxide scale formed on Ni-11Fe-10Cu-6Al-3Y at 750 °C was also composed of the similar triplex layers in addition to an internal oxidation zone containing Al, Ni and Cu oxide and the microstructure of the scale changed with increasing temperature. Although the doping Al and Y could improve the adherence of oxide scale, it could aggravate the extent of internal oxidation. Based on the combination of X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron mi-croscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy （SEM/EDX） analysis, the microstructure and growth mechanism of the multi-layer oxide scale was studied and the effect of doping Al and Y on the oxidation behavior of Ni-11Fe-10Cu alloy was also discussed.展开更多

Both of the sintering additive systems were used,which were YAN（Y_2O_3–Al_2O_3–AlN） and YN（Y_2O_3–AlN）.The influences of b-SiC content on sintering behavior of SiC/Si_3N_4 composite were investigated. The results show that the density, shrinkage, bending strength, hardness, and fracture toughness of the samples with two sintering additive systems increase first with the increase of the contents of b-SiC and then decrease even when b-SiC contents continually increase. The tendency of weight loss of the samples is opposite. The b-SiC content of the samples with the best mechanical properties is different in two systems. For YAN system, the best mechanical properties of the samples are gained when b-SiC content reaches 10 %, while as for YN system it is 5 %. The properties of YN samples are superior to YAN samples. J phase（2Y_2O_3 ·Si_2N_2O） forms in YN system easily. A small amount of M phase（Y_2O_3·Si_3N_4） is observed in YAN system.展开更多

However, the small size and poor granulation behavior of specularite concentrates consequently deteriorate the permeability of sinter bed and reduce the productivity of sinter, resulting in un-effective utilization in sintering process. The granulation experiments were carried out when specularite concentrates matched with five kinds of fine or coarse ores, and the effects of surface property and wettability of fine or coarse ores on granulation behavior of specularite concentrates were investigated. Then, the optimized ore blending recipes were proposed to strengthen the granulation behavior of specularite concentrates. The results indicated that the growth index increased with increasing the specific surface area of fine ores and had a positive linear correlation with the circularity degree of coarse ores, whereas negative correlations exist between the growth index and the contact angle of fine or coarse ores. Compared with the concentrates, the growth index increased by approximately 22% scheme of blended ores containing 15 mass% specularite in the case of using Ore-A and Ore-E with greater surface property and higher wettability to replace all of Ore-B and half of Ore-D, respectively. Furthermore, the vertical sintering speed and the productivity of sinter improved by approximately 23% and 20%, respectively.展开更多

The change of phase compositions, secondary phase distributions and grain morphologies during sintering process were investigated. It is shown that fully dense ceramics using AIN powder prepared by SHS method can be obtained when the sintering temperature is above 1830 ℃. Both Y2O3content and sintering temperature have an important influence on the formation of Y-Al-O phase and grain shape. When Y2O3content is identified, the grain morphology converts from polyhedron into sphere-like shape with the rise of sintering temperature.

文摘The design and synthesis of organic high-temperature reversible thermochromic materials is one of the difficult issues in the field of organic chromic materials.In this paper,four diacetylene monomers named DBA-PCDA,TBA-PCDA,DBE-PCDA and TBE-PCDA,each containing multiple diacetylene units,were synthesized from 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid(PCDA)through the amidation or esterification reactions,using 4,4'-diaminobiphenyl,1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene,4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl,and 1,3,5-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzene as bridging units.The effects of functional groups that can form hydrogen bond andπ-πinteractions on the solid-state polymerization properties of monomers and the thermochromic properties of the corresponding PDAs were investigated.The results show that only DBA-PCDA and TBAPCDA,which contain functional groups that can form hydrogen bonding interactions,can be polymerized under 254-nm UV irradiation.The corresponding poly(DBA-PCDA)exhibits reversible thermochromic property even heated up to 200℃,showing a potential application in the field of high-temperature thermal indicator above 100℃.This work provides a new perspective to the development of PDA with high-temperature reversible thermochromic property.

文摘The sintering behavior,microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of （1–x）CaTiO3–xLaAlO3 （x=0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7,0.9,respectively） ceramics were investigated systematically by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis （TG-DSC）,X-ray diffraction （XRD）,scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and a network analyzer.The result showed that forming temperature of the perovskite type crystal increased with increasing of x value.0.9CaTiO3-0.1LaAlO3 ceramics were sintered well from 1 400 to 1 550 oC,its bulk density increased with sintering temperature,and microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics at 1 400 oC was shown as follows： relative dielectric constant εr= 45.1,Q×f= 46 087 GHz and τf=–14.1×10–6/oC,respectively.But 0.7CaTiO3-0.3LaAlO3 ceramics were sintered well only when sintering temperature rose to 1 500 oC.（1–x）CaTiO3–xLaAlO3 （x=0.5,0.7 and 0.9,respectively） were not sintered well up to 1 550 oC and the sintered samples exhibited porous characteristic and with low bulk density.
文摘The effect of sintering temperature on microstructure, electrical properties, and pulse aging behavior of （V2O5-Mn3O4-Er2O3）-doped zinc oxide varistor ceramics was systematically studied. When the sintering temperature increased, the average grain size increased from 6.1 to 8.7μm and the sintered density decreased from 5.52 to 5.43 g/cm3. The breakdown field decreased from 3856 to 922 V/cm with an increase in the sintering temperature up to 900 °C, whereas a further increase to 2352 V/cm at 925 °C. The nonlinear coefficient increased pronouncedly from 4.6 to 30.0 with an increase in the sintering temperature. The varistor ceramics sintered at 850 °C exhibited the best clamping characteristics, with the clamp voltage ratio of the range of 2.22-2.88 for pulse current of 1-25 A. The varistor ceramics sintered at 925 °C exhibited the strongest stability, with %ΔE1 mA/cm2=-8.8% after applying the multi-pulse current of 25 A.

文摘The influence of the MnS plastic inclusion on the accumulation of internal damage was considered, and the Gurson– Tvergaard–Needleman (GTN) model was calibrated based on the finite element inverse method and image analysis method using ABAQUS and GTN models. The modified GTN damage model was used to simulate the initiation and propagation of cracks in an as-cast 304 stainless steel with MnS inclusions at 900 C. The simulation results agreed well with the experimental results, indicating that the model can be effectively applied to examine the high-temperature fracture behavior of MnS inclusions. The simulation and high-temperature tensile test results revealed that MnS inclusions increased the number of holes initiation and the probability of hole polymerization, reduced the crack propagation resistance, accelerated the occurrence of material fracture behavior, and were closely related to the stress state at high temperatures. When the stress triaxiality was low, the plastic strain in the metal matrix was high, and the MnS plastic inclusions accelerated the polymerization of the pores, making metal fracture failure more likely. On the other hand, when the stress triaxiality was high, the stress state in the metal matrix was biased to the tensile state, the plastic strain in the metal matrix was low, and the influence of MnS plastic inclusions on the fracture behavior was not evident.

文摘Aiming to develop materials for construction of the set-up and electrode of high-temperature molten salt reactors, the effect of Al and Y on the high-temperature oxidation behavior of Ni-11Fe-10Cu at 750 and 950 °C in air were investigated. The oxidation kinetics of Ni-11Fe-10Cu alloy followed parabolic law at 750 °C without spallation and linear law at 950 °C with severe spallation, while that of Ni-11Fe-10Cu-6Al-3Y alloy followed parabolic law at 750 and 950 °C without spallation. The parabolic rate constant （kp） of Ni-11Fe-10Cu was smaller than that of Ni-11Fe-10Cu-6Al-3Y at 750 °C. The oxide scale formed on Ni-11Fe-10Cu at 750 °C was composed of a CuO outer layer, a NiFe2O4 middle layer and a NiO inner layer. The oxide scale formed on Ni-11Fe-10Cu-6Al-3Y at 750 °C was also composed of the similar triplex layers in addition to an internal oxidation zone containing Al, Ni and Cu oxide and the microstructure of the scale changed with increasing temperature. Although the doping Al and Y could improve the adherence of oxide scale, it could aggravate the extent of internal oxidation. Based on the combination of X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron mi-croscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy （SEM/EDX） analysis, the microstructure and growth mechanism of the multi-layer oxide scale was studied and the effect of doping Al and Y on the oxidation behavior of Ni-11Fe-10Cu alloy was also discussed.

文摘SiC/Si_3N_4 composite was pressureless sintered using self-propagating high-temperature combustion synthesis a-Si_3N_4 powder and appropriate amount of b-SiC powder. Both of the sintering additive systems were used,which were YAN（Y_2O_3–Al_2O_3–AlN） and YN（Y_2O_3–AlN）.The influences of b-SiC content on sintering behavior of SiC/Si_3N_4 composite were investigated. The results show that the density, shrinkage, bending strength, hardness, and fracture toughness of the samples with two sintering additive systems increase first with the increase of the contents of b-SiC and then decrease even when b-SiC contents continually increase. The tendency of weight loss of the samples is opposite. The b-SiC content of the samples with the best mechanical properties is different in two systems. For YAN system, the best mechanical properties of the samples are gained when b-SiC content reaches 10 %, while as for YN system it is 5 %. The properties of YN samples are superior to YAN samples. J phase（2Y_2O_3 ·Si_2N_2O） forms in YN system easily. A small amount of M phase（Y_2O_3·Si_3N_4） is observed in YAN system.

文摘In this study,a single-doped phosphors yttrium aluminum garnet(Y_(3)Al_(5)O_(12),YAG):Ce^(3+),single-doped YAG:Sc^(3+),and double-doped phosphors YAG:Ce^(3+),Sc^(3+) were prepared by spark plasma sintering(SPS)(lower than 1 200℃).The characteristics of synthesized phosphors were determined using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and fluorescence spectroscopy.During SPS,the lattice structure of YAG was maintained by the added Ce^(3+) and Sc^(3+).The emission wavelength of YAG:Ce^(3+) prepared from SPS(425-700 nm) was wider compared to that of YAG:Ce^(3+) prepared from high-temperature solid-state reaction(HSSR)(500-700 nm).The incorporation of low-dose Sc^(3+) in YAG:Ce^(3+) moved the emission peak towards the short wavelength.

文摘Ultra-coarse grained cemented carbides are often used under conditions of concurrently applied stress and high temperature.Improvement of high-temperature mechanical performance of ultra-coarse grained cemented carbides is highly desirable but still a big challenge.In this study,it is proposed that the hightemperature compression strength of ultra-coarse cemented carbides can be enhanced by modulating hard matrix grains by activated Ta C nanoparticles,through solid solution strengthening of Ta atoms.Based on the designed experiments and microstructural characterizations combined with finite element simulations,the grain morphology,stress distribution and dislocation configuration were studied in detail for ultra-coarse grained cemented carbides.The mechanisms of Ta dissolving in WC crystal and strengthening ultra-coarse grains through interaction with dislocations were disclosed from the atomic scale.This study opens a new perspective to modulate hard phases of cemented carbides for improving their hightemperature performance,which will be applicable to a variety of cermet and ceramic-based composite materials.

文摘Centimeter-sized Mg_(65)Zn_(30)Ca_(5)bulk amorphous alloys were fabricated by the spark plasma sintering process from the amorphous powders with a size smaller than 5 la m prepared by ball-milling.The sintered Mg65Zn30Ca5 samples were in an amorphous state when the spark plasma sintering was performed at a temperature of 383 K under a pressure of 600 MPa.The data of polarization curves presented that the sintered Mg_(65)Zn_(30)Ca_(5)bulk amorphous alloys exhibited higher corrosion resistance than pure Mg and AZ31B alloy owing to high content of Zn and homogeneous structure.A calcium phosphate compound layer was formed on the sintered Mg_(65)Zn_(30)Ca_(5)bulk amorphous sample after immersion in Hanks'solution,which is effective in improving corrosion resistance and bioactivity.The sintered MgZnCa bulk amorphous alloys with large dimensions broaden the potential application of bulk amorphous alloys in the biomedical fields.

文摘A novel low temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) material was fabricated by zinc titanate(ZnTiO_3) ceramics doped with B_2O_3-BaO-SiO_2-ZnO-Li_2O(BBSZL) glass. The influences of BBSZL glass on wetting behavior, sintering activation energy, phase composition, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties were investigated. The experimental results show that the sintering temperature of ZnTiO3 ceramics can be reduced from 1 100 to 925 ℃, meanwhile the sintering activation energy is decreased from 465.32 to 390.54 kJ·mol^(-1) by BBSZL glass aid, respectively. Moreover, BBSZL glass can inhibit the high Q×f ZnTiO_3 phase decompose into the low Q×f value Zn_2TiO_4 phase, which is propitious to obtain high Q×f value LTCC material. The ZnTiO_3-BBSZL composite sintered at 925℃ displays the excellent microwave dielectric properties with ε_r of 21.8, Q×f value of 42000 GHz, and τ_f of-75 ppm·℃^(-1).
文摘Silicon carbide ceramics were prepared with SiC powder treated by the fluidized bed opposed jet mill as raw materials, and the effects of the ultra-fine treatment mechanism on the compaction and sintering behavior of SiC ceramics were investigated. The results showed that the compacts had higher density and microstructure homogeneity when the sintering temperature of the compact was decreased; and that the surface microstructure, densification and mechanical properties of the sintered body could be ameliorated obviously.
文摘Specularite concentrates have advantages of high ferrous grade, less harmful impurities and low price. However, the small size and poor granulation behavior of specularite concentrates consequently deteriorate the permeability of sinter bed and reduce the productivity of sinter, resulting in un-effective utilization in sintering process. The granulation experiments were carried out when specularite concentrates matched with five kinds of fine or coarse ores, and the effects of surface property and wettability of fine or coarse ores on granulation behavior of specularite concentrates were investigated. Then, the optimized ore blending recipes were proposed to strengthen the granulation behavior of specularite concentrates. The results indicated that the growth index increased with increasing the specific surface area of fine ores and had a positive linear correlation with the circularity degree of coarse ores, whereas negative correlations exist between the growth index and the contact angle of fine or coarse ores. Compared with the concentrates, the growth index increased by approximately 22% scheme of blended ores containing 15 mass% specularite in the case of using Ore-A and Ore-E with greater surface property and higher wettability to replace all of Ore-B and half of Ore-D, respectively. Furthermore, the vertical sintering speed and the productivity of sinter improved by approximately 23% and 20%, respectively.
