The evolution of morphology, microstructure, and phase transformation of the agglomerated powder and as-sprayed coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results show that A1203 retains the same a phase as the raw material during sintering, while TiO2 changes from anatase to futile. During plasma spraying, some a-A1203 phases solidify to form metastable y-A1203, and the volume fraction of a-A1203 decreases as CPSP increases. However, peaks of the TiO2 phase are not observed from the as-sprayed coatings except for the coatings sprayed at the lower CPSP. As the CPSP increases, nanostructured TiO2 is dissolved easily in y-A1203 or z-A1203＇TiO2 phase. After heat treatment, y-A1203 in the coatings transforms to a-A1203, and rutile is precipitated.展开更多

Studies of lithology, sedimentary facies and the distribution regularity of SiO2 and Al2O3 contents and Al2O3/SiO2 ratio allow us to divide the Upper Pleistocene-Holocene Series represented by the MUanggouwan section ...Studies of lithology, sedimentary facies and the distribution regularity of SiO2 and Al2O3 contents and Al2O3/SiO2 ratio allow us to divide the Upper Pleistocene-Holocene Series represented by the MUanggouwan section in China＇s Salawnsu River valley into six segments： MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MGS5 and MGS6. The boundary ages for MGS1 （the Dishaogouwan and Dagouwan Formations）, MGS2 （the upper Chengchuan Formation）, MGS3 （the middle Chengchuan Formation）, MGS4 （the lower Chengchuan Formation）, MGS5 （most strata of the Salawusu Formation） and MGS6 （the bottom of the Salawusu Formation and the top of the Lishi Formation） correspond to those of MIS1, MIS2, MIS3, MIS4, MISS and MIS6, respectively, from deep sea sediments or continental glaciers. MGS5 can be subdivided into five subsegments （MGS5a, MGS5b, MGS5c, MGS5d and MGS5e） and the boundary ages of these subsegments correspond to those of MISSa, MISSb, MIS5c, MIS5d and MIS5e, respectively. Based on the paleoenvironment and paleoecology indicated by the primary chemical elements, fossil vertebrates, mollusks and pollen grains, we hypothesize that MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MGS5 and MGS6 and the subsegments of MGS5 match the corresponding stages for oxygen isotopes in the deep sea sediments and continental glaciers, and the substages of MIS5 in terms of climatic characters, further explaining the phenomena that determined the formation of the late Quaternary strata and the paleontology of the Salawusu River valley. These phenomena relate to fluctuations in the global climate （and particularly in the East Asian monsoon） during the glacial and interglacial periods.展开更多

The subsidence history of the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic can be divided into four stages： the stable subsidence during Cambrian and Silurian; the uplift and denudation during Devonian and Carboniferous; the subsidence （main process） during Permian to Late Cretaceous; and the rapid uplift and denudation since Late Cretaceous. The later two stages could be regarded as critical factors for the development of oil and gas in the lower association. The evolution of energy field such as temperature, pressure, and hydrocarbon phase in the lower association during the deep burial and uplift in the third stage might be induced as follows： （1） super-high pressure was developed during oil-cracking, previous super-high pressure was sustained, or changed as normal pressure during late uplift; （2） temperature increased with deep burial during persistent subsidence and decreased during uplift in late stage; （3） as a response to the change of the energy field, hydrocarbon phase experienced a series of changes such as organic material （solid）, oil （liquid）, oil-cracking gas （gaseous） ＋ bitumen （solid） ＋ abnormal high pressure, gas cap gas with super-high pressure （gaseous） ＋ bitumen （solid） ＋ water soluble gas （liquid）, and gas in pool （gaseous） ＋ water soluble gas （liquid） ＋ bitumen （solid）. The restoration of hydrocarbon phase evolution is of important value for the exploration of natural gas in the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic in Sichuan basin.展开更多

Differential scanning calorimeter, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer and X-ray diffractometer were employed.The results showed that Al12(Fe,V)3 Si and Si phases evolved into a needle-like Al4.5 Fe Si phase and a nano-sized V-rich phase during holding the alloy at 580-600℃. With increasing holding temperature to 620-640℃, Al4.5 Fe Si and nano-sized V-rich phases evolved reversibly into Al12(Fe,V)3 Si and Si phases, of which Al12(Fe,V)3 Si occupied a coarse and hexagonal morphology. During the alloy(after holding at 640 ℃) furnace cooling to 570 ℃ or lower, Si and Al12(Fe,V)3 Si phases evolved into strip-like Al4.5 Fe Si and the V-rich phases, which is a novel formation route for Al4.5 Fe Si phase different from Al-Fe-Si ternary system.展开更多

For com- parison, the sample was also synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The X-ray diffraction （XRD） results suggested that the final crystalline phases had great relations with the hydrothermal synthesis conditions. The field emission scanning electron microscopy （FE-SEM） images and the energy-dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） patterns indicated that the morphologies and the components of some representative samples also varied with the synthesis conditions. Eu3＋, acting as a probe, exhibited different optical proper- ties in the K-Lu-F system optical materials, which also indirectly proved the phase evolution of the final products. The results sug- gested that there were many crystalline phases with different symmetry in the K-Lu-F system. They would be good host matrices for the emitters.展开更多

Almost all the alloy ribbons. except for(Nd_0.95La_0.05)_9.5Fe_78M_2B_10.5(M=Mo and Mn),consist merely two magnetic phases, namely α-Fe and R_2Fe_14B, which display a better combination of _iH_c and magnetic energy product. Remanence (Br) and coercivity (i_H_c) values in the range of 8.0 to 9.1 kG and 9.5 to 18.9 kOe. respectively, can be achieved. Among compositions studied, the Ti and W-substitutions were found to be most effective in increasing the Br and i_H_c, respectively. For a fixed refractory metal substitution, namely, M=C_r, Ti or Nb, an increase in the total rare earth concentration resulted in nanocomposites of small grain sizes and a high volume fraction of the R_2Fe_14B phase, leading to an increase in the magnetic properties.展开更多

The ...An interaction between ferrite recrystallization and austenite transformation in low-carbon steel occurs when recrystallization is delayed until the intercritical temperature range by employing high heating rate. The kinetics of recrystallization and transformation is affected by high heating rate and such an interaction. In this study, different levels of strain are applied to low-carbon steel using a severe plastic deformation method. Then, ultra-rapid annealing is performed at different heating rates of 200–1100°C/s and peak temperatures of near critical temperature. Five regimes are proposed to investigate the effects of heating rate, strain, and temperature on the interaction between recrystallization and transformation. The microstructural evolution of severely deformed low-carbon steel after ultra-rapid annealing is investigated based on the proposed regimes. Regarding the intensity and start temperature of the interaction, different microstructures consisting of ferrite and pearlite/martensite are formed. It is found that when the interaction is strong, the microstructure is refined because of the high kinetics of transformation and recrystallization. Moreover, strain shifts an interaction zone to a relatively higher heating rate. Therefore, severely deformed steel should be heated at relatively higher heating rates for it to undergo a strong interaction.展开更多

The as-cast microstructure morphology changes from （γ＋α2） lamellar colony and β/β0＋γ mixture structure to β/β0 phase matrix widmannstatten structure, when Mo content increases from 2 at.% to 6 at.%. Affected by the relationship between β phase and α90℃phase, the angles between the lamellar orientation and the block β/β0 phase are roughly at 0℃, 45℃ and 90℃. Comparing with heat treatment microstructure, the hot compression microstructure contains less β/β0 phase, however, theβ/β0 phase containing 2Mo alloy and 3Mo alloy hot compressed at 1275 ℃ has the inverse tendency. In addition, （α2 ＋γ） colony is decomposed by the discontinuous transformation.2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials Science ＆ Technology.展开更多

Both the C-GST films without and with a thin SiO2 capping layer（C-GST and C-GST/SiO2） are deposited for comparison. Large differences are observed between C-GST and C-GST/SiO2 films in resistance-temperature, x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,Raman spectra, data retention capability and optical band gap measurements. In the C-GST film, resistancetemperature measurement reveals an unusual smooth decrease in resistance above 110℃ during heating. Xray diffraction result has excluded the possibility of phase change in the C-GST film below 170℃. The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy experimental result reveals the evolution of Te chemical valence because of the carbon oxidation during heating. Raman spectra further demonstrate that phase changes from an amorphous state to the hexagonal state occur directly during heating in the C-GST film. The quite smooth decrease in resistance is believed to be related with the formation of Te-rich GeTe4-n Gen（n = 0, 1） units above 110℃ in the C-GST film. The oxidation of carbon is harmful to the C-GST phase change properties.展开更多

文摘Coal and rock dynamic disasters are always major hidden dangers threatening mine safety production.Many researchers use cement concrete material as filling and energy-absorption materials.However,the current material toughness is not sufficient to meet the requirements of mine disaster prevention.Based on this,in order to find the optimal-ratio material that combines strength and toughness,the synergistic mechanism of lithium slag(LS),ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA)copolymer,and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)fiber mixtures in improving the mechanical properties of cement concrete,as well as the mechanism of microscopic phase evolution,was analyzed through macroscopic experiments,mesoscopic characterization,microscopic analysis,theoretical calculations,and comprehensive evaluation.The stress-strain curves obtained from the uniaxial compressive strength tests of specimens with different admixtures and fibers were investigated,and the characteristics of different stages were analyzed.The mechanical properties of different admixtures and fiber-reinforced materials,including their advantages and disadvantages,were compared through weighted comprehensive evaluation.The entire process of material failure,ranging from pore compaction,crack initiation,crack propagation,specimen instability to crack penetration,was explained via macroscopic fracture morphology,and the mechanical mechanism of how different admixtures affect the mechanical properties of concrete materials was revealed.The microscopic mechanism and the phase-evolution process of how the admixture affects concrete properties were elucidated using X-ray diffraction(XRD),hydration reaction theory,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR).Furthermore,scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy(SEM-EDS)was used to reveal the interfacial pore state and element distribution of the internal microstructure of concrete.The results show that PVA fiber bars can play the role of a“skeleton bridge”to improve the toughness of materials.LS can effectively promote the hydration process and cooperate with PVA fiber bars to enhance the mechanical properties of the material.EVA will inhibit the hydration reaction and degrade the material’s mechanical properties through the“organic isolation”effect.In addition,the on-site application has proven that the R3-group materials in this study can effectively inhibit the deformation of the roadway and possess strong reliability.Finally,the advantages and feasibility of LS-and-fiber-reinforced concrete were discussed from four perspectives:environmental protection,economy,disaster prevention,and development.This paper is expected to provide technical reference for the large-scale disposal of solid waste LS,the performance-optimization direction of concrete materials,and the prevention and control of coal and rock dynamic disasters.

文摘The detrimental phase transformations of sodium layered transition metal oxides(Na_(x)TMO_(2))during desodiation/sodiation seriously suppress their practical applications for sodium ion batteries(SIBs).Undoubtedly,comprehensively investigating of the dynamic crystal structure evolutions of Na_(x)TMO_(2)associating with Na ions extraction/intercalation and then deeply understanding of the relationships between electrochemical performances and phase structures drawing support from advanced characterization techniques are indispensable.In-situ high-energy X-ray diffraction(HEXRD),a powerful technology to distinguish the crystal structure of electrode materials,has been widely used to identify the phase evolutions of Na_(x)TMO_(2)and then profoundly revealed the electrochemical reaction processes.In this review,we begin with the descriptions of synchrotron characterization techniques and then present the advantages of synchrotron X-ray diffraction(XRD)over conventional XRD in detail.The optimizations of structural stability and electrochemical properties for P2-,O3-,and P2/O3-type Na_(x)TMO_(2)cathodes through single/dual-site substitution,high-entropy design,phase composition regulation,and surface engineering are summarized.The dynamic crystal structure evolutions of Na_(x)TMO_(2)polytypes during Na ion extraction/intercalation as well as corresponding structural enhancement mechanisms characterizing by means of HEXRD are concluded.The interior relationships between structure/component of Na_(x)TMO_(2)polytypes and their electrochemical properties are discussed.Finally,we look forward the research directions and issues in the route to improve the electrochemical properties of Na_(x)TMO_(2)cathodes for SIBs in the future and the combined utilizations of multiple characterization techniques.This review will provide significant guidelines for rational designs of high-performance Na_(x)TMO_(2)cathodes.

文摘The toughness of thermoplastic polymers such as polypropylene(PP)can be improved by adding elastomers-based toughening agents,and the phase morphology of these toughening agents is very important for the strength and toughness of PP.The low-temperature toughness of PP was improved by inserting high-density polyethylene(HDPE)between PP and polystyrene-b-ethylene-co-propyleneb-polystyrene(SEPS)to form an unusual SEPS@HDPE core–shell structure,with SEPS as the core and HDPE as the shell.Based on the microtopography and rheological behavior characterization,HDPE in PP/SEPS/HDPE composites was found to serve as an emulsifier,decrease the size of SEPS particles,and promote the homogeneous dispersion of dispersed phase particles in the matrix.An increase in the HDPE content shifted the toughening mechanism of PP composites from cavitation to matrix shear yielding.The reduction in the distance between the dispersed core–shell structure particles promoted shear yielding in the PP composites,leading to increased toughness.The creation of an intermediate HDPE layer with a moderate modulus was crucial for dispersing stress concentrations and significantly improving toughness without compromising the tensile strength.These findings will facilitate the fabrication of high-toughness PP products at low temperatures.

文摘A novel low-activation Ti_(1.5)ZrV_(0.5)Ta_(0.5)refractory high-entropy alloy(RHEA)was designed as a potential candidate for nuclear reactor application.At room temperature,it had an elongation of 8.4%and a yield strength of 1096 MPa.The phase evolution of this alloy and its effect on properties was investigated.At 400℃,the solid solution bcc 1 transformed into the fcc phase and bcc 2 phase,and theωphase andαphase also appeared.At 600℃,theωphase andαphase disappeared,and the microstructure of the alloy was composed of the fcc phase and bcc 2 phase.When the temperature was up to 1200℃,the fcc phase and bcc 2 phase re-transformed into solid solution bcc 1 phase.The precipitation ofωphase andαphase caused a sharp increase in strength and a decrease in plasticity.Meanwhile,the appearance of the fcc phase led to a simultaneous decrease in strength and ductility,due to larger stress concentrations at the fcc/bcc interface.Besides,the formation mechanism of each phase in the alloy was discussed in detail.

文摘Industrial wastes such as steel slag and coal gangue etc.were chosen as raw materials for preparing ceramic via the conventional solid-state reaction method.With steel slag and coal gangue mixed in various mass ratios,from 100%steel slag to 100%coal gangue at 10%intervals,microstructure and possible phase evolution of the coal gangue-steel slag ceramics were investigated using X-ray powder diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,mercury intrusion porosimetry and Archimedes boiling method.The experimental results suggest that the phase compositions of the as-prepared ceramics could be altered with the increased amount of coal gangue in the ceramics.The anorthite-diopside eutectic can be formed in the ceramics with the mass ratios of steel slag to coal gangue arranged from 8:2 to 2:8,which was responsible for the melting of the steel slag-coal gangue ceramics at relatively high temperature.Further investigations on the microstructure suggested that the addition of the proper amount of steel slag in ceramic compositions was conducive to the pore formation and further contributed to an increment in porosity.

文摘Hole transport material free carbon-based all-inorganic CsPbBr_(3)perovskite solar cells(PSCs)are promising for commercialization due to its low-cost,high open-circuit voltage(V_(oc))and superior stability.Due to the different solubility of PbBr_(2)and CsBr in conventional solvents,CsPbBr_(3)films are mainly obtained by multi-step spin-coating through the phase evolution from PbBr_(2)to CsPb_(2)Br_(5)and then to CsPbBr_(3).The scalable fabrication of high-quality CsPbBr_(3)films has been rarely studied.Herein,an inkjet-printing method is developed to prepare high-quality CsPbBr_(3)films.The formation of long-range crystalline CsPb_(2)Br_(5)phase can effectively improve phase purity and promote regular crystal stacking of CsPbBr_(3).Consequently,the inkjet-printed CsPbBr_(3)C-PSCs realized PCEs up to 9.09%,8.59%and 7.81%with active areas of 0.09,0.25,and 1 cm^(2),respectively,demonstrating the upscaling potential of our fabrication method and devices.This high performance is mainly ascribed to the high purity,strong crystal orientation,reduced surface roughness and lower trap states density of the as-printed CsPbBr_(3)films.This work provides insights into the relationship between the phase evolution mechanisms and crystal growth dynamics of cesium lead bromide halide films.

文摘Commercial nanosized alumina and titania particles were selected as raw materials to prepare the blended slurry with composition of A1203-13%TiO2 （mass fraction）, which were reconstituted into micrometer-sized granules by spray drying, subsequently sintering at different temperatures to form nanostructured feedstock for thermal spraying, and then A1203-13%TiO2 nanocoatings were deposited by plasma spraying. The evolution of morphology, microstructure, and phase transformation of the agglomerated powder and as-sprayed coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results show that A1203 retains the same a phase as the raw material during sintering, while TiO2 changes from anatase to futile. During plasma spraying, some a-A1203 phases solidify to form metastable y-A1203, and the volume fraction of a-A1203 decreases as CPSP increases. However, peaks of the TiO2 phase are not observed from the as-sprayed coatings except for the coatings sprayed at the lower CPSP. As the CPSP increases, nanostructured TiO2 is dissolved easily in y-A1203 or z-A1203＇TiO2 phase. After heat treatment, y-A1203 in the coatings transforms to a-A1203, and rutile is precipitated.

文摘Lithium-rich manganese-based oxide(LRMO)cathode has emerged as a particularly promising candidate for achieving high energy densities in lithium-ion batteries due to its capability to access anion redox reactions at high voltage.The successful implementation of LRMO in energy storage systems is contingent upon the enhancement of their rate capabilities.However,the underlying relationship between high-rate cycling and electrode degradation for LRMO,particularly concerning structural evolution,still remains unclear.Benefiting from the high time resolution abilities of liquid-metal-jet operando twodimensional X-ray diffraction,it is observed that the Li_(2)MnO_(3)phase in LRMO is gradually activated accompanied by the emergence of oxygen vacancies during cycling at 1 C(1 C=250 mA/g).Consequently,the crystal lattice flexibility of LRMO is systematically enhanced,thereby preventing the collapse of the bulk structure.While,continuous release of oxygen during extended cycling results in deteriorations of the self-adjusting damping effect of the structure,ultimately leading to a decline in capacity.The findings of this study not only contribute to a more profound understanding of the structural changes of LRMOs at high rates,but also provide novel perspectives for the rational design of LRMOs with superior rate performances.

文摘Studies of lithology, sedimentary facies and the distribution regularity of SiO2 and Al2O3 contents and Al2O3/SiO2 ratio allow us to divide the Upper Pleistocene-Holocene Series represented by the MUanggouwan section in China＇s Salawnsu River valley into six segments： MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MGS5 and MGS6. The boundary ages for MGS1 （the Dishaogouwan and Dagouwan Formations）, MGS2 （the upper Chengchuan Formation）, MGS3 （the middle Chengchuan Formation）, MGS4 （the lower Chengchuan Formation）, MGS5 （most strata of the Salawusu Formation） and MGS6 （the bottom of the Salawusu Formation and the top of the Lishi Formation） correspond to those of MIS1, MIS2, MIS3, MIS4, MISS and MIS6, respectively, from deep sea sediments or continental glaciers. MGS5 can be subdivided into five subsegments （MGS5a, MGS5b, MGS5c, MGS5d and MGS5e） and the boundary ages of these subsegments correspond to those of MISSa, MISSb, MIS5c, MIS5d and MIS5e, respectively. Based on the paleoenvironment and paleoecology indicated by the primary chemical elements, fossil vertebrates, mollusks and pollen grains, we hypothesize that MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MGS5 and MGS6 and the subsegments of MGS5 match the corresponding stages for oxygen isotopes in the deep sea sediments and continental glaciers, and the substages of MIS5 in terms of climatic characters, further explaining the phenomena that determined the formation of the late Quaternary strata and the paleontology of the Salawusu River valley. These phenomena relate to fluctuations in the global climate （and particularly in the East Asian monsoon） during the glacial and interglacial periods.

文摘The Sinian-Lower Paleozoic （also called the lower association） in Sichuan （四川） basin has undergone geologic evolution for several hundred million years. The subsidence history of the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic can be divided into four stages： the stable subsidence during Cambrian and Silurian; the uplift and denudation during Devonian and Carboniferous; the subsidence （main process） during Permian to Late Cretaceous; and the rapid uplift and denudation since Late Cretaceous. The later two stages could be regarded as critical factors for the development of oil and gas in the lower association. The evolution of energy field such as temperature, pressure, and hydrocarbon phase in the lower association during the deep burial and uplift in the third stage might be induced as follows： （1） super-high pressure was developed during oil-cracking, previous super-high pressure was sustained, or changed as normal pressure during late uplift; （2） temperature increased with deep burial during persistent subsidence and decreased during uplift in late stage; （3） as a response to the change of the energy field, hydrocarbon phase experienced a series of changes such as organic material （solid）, oil （liquid）, oil-cracking gas （gaseous） ＋ bitumen （solid） ＋ abnormal high pressure, gas cap gas with super-high pressure （gaseous） ＋ bitumen （solid） ＋ water soluble gas （liquid）, and gas in pool （gaseous） ＋ water soluble gas （liquid） ＋ bitumen （solid）. The restoration of hydrocarbon phase evolution is of important value for the exploration of natural gas in the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic in Sichuan basin.

文摘To make the ferroelectric BaTiO3 possess ferromagnetism simultaneously,magnetic Fe was doped into BaTiO3 ceramics at doping levels up to 10%(molar fraction).Both tetragonal and hexagonal phases coexisted in the Fe-doped BaTiO3 ceramics except at 1% doping level.X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that higher doping level of Fe,higher sintering temperature and longer sintering time promoted the formation of hexagonal phases in Fe-doped BaTiO3 ceramics.Ferroelectricity was observed in all samples at room temperature,but it was greatly depressed by Fe doping.Except at doping level of 1%,room-temperature ferromagnetism was observed in the BaTiO3 ceramics.The dependence of the saturation magnetization and coercivities of the Fe-doped BaTiO3 ceramics on doping level was systematically studied.Both the saturation magnetization and magnetic coercivities were found to be dependent on the doping level as well as the fraction of the hexagonal phase in the ceramics.
文摘The microstructure evolution law and the structure of precipitates produced during the tempering of steel AerMet100 based on TEM observation and the calibration of diffraction spot were revealed.The electronic structure and the stability of the MoxCr2-xC phase were calculated using the plane-wave pseudo-potential method on basis of density functional theory.TEM observations show that the precipitation phases Fe3C and Fe2-xCx(x=0.05～0.14) between martensite lath are produced at 425 and 480 ℃,respectively.The increase of tempering temperature or time can lead to the redissolution of both phases Fe3C and Fe2-xCx,and also lead to the precipitation of the phase Cr2C in martensite lath.The calculation results of formation energies and the density of state(DOS) demonstrate that in point of MoxCr2-xC structures formed during tempering,the early precipitation phase is Cr2C and finally later evolves into Mo2C phase with diffusing of incorporation of Mo atom into the Cr2C crystal cell,lattice,which can results in a energy decreases of the structure MoxCr2-xC phase with the increase of x.

文摘The AlSi20/8009 aluminum alloy was heated to high temperatures near the melting point and cooled to investigate the effect of external Si addition on the phase evolution of Al12(Fe,V)3 Si dispersion. Differential scanning calorimeter, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer and X-ray diffractometer were employed.The results showed that Al12(Fe,V)3 Si and Si phases evolved into a needle-like Al4.5 Fe Si phase and a nano-sized V-rich phase during holding the alloy at 580-600℃. With increasing holding temperature to 620-640℃, Al4.5 Fe Si and nano-sized V-rich phases evolved reversibly into Al12(Fe,V)3 Si and Si phases, of which Al12(Fe,V)3 Si occupied a coarse and hexagonal morphology. During the alloy(after holding at 640 ℃) furnace cooling to 570 ℃ or lower, Si and Al12(Fe,V)3 Si phases evolved into strip-like Al4.5 Fe Si and the V-rich phases, which is a novel formation route for Al4.5 Fe Si phase different from Al-Fe-Si ternary system.

文摘Using a hydrothermal method, by adjusting the reactant ratios, the hydrothermal temperatures, the hydrothermal time, and the pH values of prepared solutions, 1 mol.% Eu3＋ doped K-Lu-F system optical materials were synthesized under control. For com- parison, the sample was also synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The X-ray diffraction （XRD） results suggested that the final crystalline phases had great relations with the hydrothermal synthesis conditions. The field emission scanning electron microscopy （FE-SEM） images and the energy-dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） patterns indicated that the morphologies and the components of some representative samples also varied with the synthesis conditions. Eu3＋, acting as a probe, exhibited different optical proper- ties in the K-Lu-F system optical materials, which also indirectly proved the phase evolution of the final products. The results sug- gested that there were many crystalline phases with different symmetry in the K-Lu-F system. They would be good host matrices for the emitters.

Almost all the alloy ribbons. except for(Nd_0.95La_0.05)_9.5Fe_78M_2B_10.5(M=Mo and Mn),consist merely two magnetic phases, namely α-Fe and R_2Fe_14B, which display a better combination of _iH_c and magnetic energy product. Remanence (Br) and coercivity (i_H_c) values in the range of 8.0 to 9.1 kG and 9.5 to 18.9 kOe. respectively, can be achieved. Among compositions studied, the Ti and W-substitutions were found to be most effective in increasing the Br and i_H_c, respectively. For a fixed refractory metal substitution, namely, M=C_r, Ti or Nb, an increase in the total rare earth concentration resulted in nanocomposites of small grain sizes and a high volume fraction of the R_2Fe_14B phase, leading to an increase in the magnetic properties.

文摘In order to study the sintering characteristics of Ca-rich iron ore,chemical analysis,laser diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,XRD-Rietveld method,and micro-sintering were used to analyze the mineralogical properties and sintering pot tests were used to study the sintering behavior.In addition,a grey correlation mathematical model was used to calculate and compare the comprehensive sintering performance under different calcium-rich iron ore contents.The results demonstrate that the Ca-rich iron ore has coarse grain size and strong self-fusing characteristics with Ca element in the form of calcite(CaCO_(3)) and the liquid phase produced by the self-fusing of the calcium-rich iron ore is well crystallized.Its application with a 20wt%content in sintering improves sinter productivity,reduces fuel consumption,enhances reduction index,and improves gas permeability in blast furnace by 0.45 t/(m^(2)·h),6.11 kg/t,6.17%,and 65.39 kPa·℃,respectively.The Ca-rich iron ore sintering can improve the calorific value of sintering flue gas compared with magnetite sintering,which is conducive to recovering heat for secondary use.As the content of the Ca-rich iron ore increases,sinter agglomeration shifts from localized liquid-phase bonding to a combination of localized liquid-phase bonding and iron oxide crystal connection.Based on an examination of the greater weight value of productivity with grey correlation analysis,the Ca-rich iron ore is beneficial for the comprehensive index of sintering in the range of 0-20wt%content.Therefore,it may be used in sintering with magnetite concentrates as the major ore species.

文摘An interaction between ferrite recrystallization and austenite transformation in low-carbon steel occurs when recrystallization is delayed until the intercritical temperature range by employing high heating rate. The kinetics of recrystallization and transformation is affected by high heating rate and such an interaction. In this study, different levels of strain are applied to low-carbon steel using a severe plastic deformation method. Then, ultra-rapid annealing is performed at different heating rates of 200–1100°C/s and peak temperatures of near critical temperature. Five regimes are proposed to investigate the effects of heating rate, strain, and temperature on the interaction between recrystallization and transformation. The microstructural evolution of severely deformed low-carbon steel after ultra-rapid annealing is investigated based on the proposed regimes. Regarding the intensity and start temperature of the interaction, different microstructures consisting of ferrite and pearlite/martensite are formed. It is found that when the interaction is strong, the microstructure is refined because of the high kinetics of transformation and recrystallization. Moreover, strain shifts an interaction zone to a relatively higher heating rate. Therefore, severely deformed steel should be heated at relatively higher heating rates for it to undergo a strong interaction.

文摘In order to understand the effect of Mo alloying on the microstructural evolution of TiAl alloy, the as-cast microstructure, heat treated microstructure characteristic, and hot compression microstructure evolution of Ti-44Al alloy have been studied in this work. The as-cast microstructure morphology changes from （γ＋α2） lamellar colony and β/β0＋γ mixture structure to β/β0 phase matrix widmannstatten structure, when Mo content increases from 2 at.% to 6 at.%. Affected by the relationship between β phase and α90℃phase, the angles between the lamellar orientation and the block β/β0 phase are roughly at 0℃, 45℃ and 90℃. Comparing with heat treatment microstructure, the hot compression microstructure contains less β/β0 phase, however, theβ/β0 phase containing 2Mo alloy and 3Mo alloy hot compressed at 1275 ℃ has the inverse tendency. In addition, （α2 ＋γ） colony is decomposed by the discontinuous transformation.2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials Science ＆ Technology.

文摘We elucidate the importance of a capping layer on the structural evolution and phase change properties of carbondoped Ge2 Sb2 Te5（C-GST） films during heating in air. Both the C-GST films without and with a thin SiO2 capping layer（C-GST and C-GST/SiO2） are deposited for comparison. Large differences are observed between C-GST and C-GST/SiO2 films in resistance-temperature, x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,Raman spectra, data retention capability and optical band gap measurements. In the C-GST film, resistancetemperature measurement reveals an unusual smooth decrease in resistance above 110℃ during heating. Xray diffraction result has excluded the possibility of phase change in the C-GST film below 170℃. The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy experimental result reveals the evolution of Te chemical valence because of the carbon oxidation during heating. Raman spectra further demonstrate that phase changes from an amorphous state to the hexagonal state occur directly during heating in the C-GST film. The quite smooth decrease in resistance is believed to be related with the formation of Te-rich GeTe4-n Gen（n = 0, 1） units above 110℃ in the C-GST film. The oxidation of carbon is harmful to the C-GST phase change properties.
