The role of temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. With increasing rolling temperature from 580 to 610 °C, the disappearance of primary powder boundary and isolated pores, inter-diffusion of species and the change of grain boundary were accelerated. Moreover, the mechanism of microstructure evolution changes from the densification dominant regime to the coarsening dominant regime; the amount of η(MgZn2) phase decreased and more Al2 Cu particles precipitated at grain boundaries. The optimum temperature for semi-solid rolling of Al-5.8Zn-1.63Mg-2.22Cu-0.12 Zr powders was determined. The liquid fraction in the range of 53% to 67% corresponds with a high density level of green strips. The present experimental analysis suggests that semi-solid powder rolling can be optimized to manufacture strips with high mechanical properties.展开更多

One material was extruded to profile aluminum directly and the other was extruded to bar and then rolled to sheet. The damping capacity over a temperature range of 25-300 ℃was studied with damping mechanical thermal analyzer （DMTA） and the microstructures were investigated by optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The experimental results show that the damping capacity increases with the test temperature elevating. Internal friction value of rolled sheet aluminum is up to 11.5×10^-2 and that of profile aluminum is as high as 6.0×10^-2 and 7.5×10^-2 at 300 ℃, respectively. Microstructure analysis shows the shape of precipitation phase of rolled alloy is more regular and the distribution is more homogeneous than that of profile alloy. Meanwhile, the interface between particulate and matrix of rolled sheet alloy is looser than that of profile alloy. Maybe the differences at interface can explain why damping capacity of rolled sheet alloy is higher than that of profile alloys at high temperature （above 120 ℃）.展开更多

In O2, CO2 and water vapor atmosphere, high-carbon ferromanganese powders were decarburized in a fluidized bed. When the temperature is respectively higher than 273, 1 226 and 1 312 K, the gas-solid decarburization reaction will occur between ferromanganese carbide on the surface of the high-carbon ferromanganese powders and different gas decarbonizers. Since metal manganese is easy to be oxidized by O2, CO2 or water vapor, the decarburization reaction will transfer into a solid-solid phase reaction of ferromanganese carbide and ferromanganese oxide, promoting external diffusion of carbon to achieve a further decarburization of high-carbon ferromanganese powders.展开更多

Experimental results show that HCFPs containing calcium.car-bonate were heated up to 900, 1000, 1 100, and 1200 ℃ and held for 60 rain for decarburization by microwave heat-ing at decarburization ratios of 76.69%, 82.90%, 84.11%, and 85. 75%, respectively. These ratios are higher than the decarburization ratios used for conventional heating under the same experimental conditipns. The microwave heat- ing can significantly improve decarburization ratio. This indicates the microwave heating field features a non-thermal effect, which in turn, visibly enhances the carbon diffusion ability of HCFPs. It also improves the kinetic conditions of solid-phase decarburization.展开更多

Solid-phase decarburization kinelSics was investi- gated by isothermal method. The results show that the HCFPs show excellent microwave absorption at a higher av- erage heating rate of 80 ℃/min, while CCPs exhibit poor microwave absorption at a lower heating rate of 5--20 ℃/min; the heating characteristics are in-between when HCFPs and CCPs are mixed. The average heating rates of the mix- ture are 32.14, 31.25, 31.43, and 30.77 ℃/rain when the mixture is heated up to 900, 1000, 1100, and 1200 ℃, respectively. The good microwave absorption property of the mixed material lays the foundation for the solid-phase decarburization of HCFPs containing CCPs. Solid-phase decarburization of HCFPs containing CCPs is a first-order reaction by microwave heating. Apparent activation energy of solid-phase decarburization is 55.07 kJ/mol, which is far less than that of ordinary carbon gasification reaction and that of solid-phase decarburization under the same de- carburization condition by conventional heating. It indicates that microwave heating not only produces thermal effect, but also has non-thermal effect.展开更多

The effects of metal nanopowders on the thermal decomposition of AP are less than those of the composite metal nanopowders. The effects of metal and composite metal nanopowders on the thermal decomposition of AP are different from those on the thermal decomposition of the AP/HTPB composite solid propellant.展开更多

Recycling oily CRM sludge can not only reduce pollution but also bring social and environmental benefits. In this study, using oily CRM sludge as sources of iron oxide, the strontium ferrite powders were synthesized in multiple steps including vacuum distillation, magnetic separation, oxidizing roasting, and solidstate reaction. The optimal technological conditions of vacuum distillation and oxidizing roasting were studied carefully. To consider the effects of Fe203/ SrCO3 tool ratio, calcination temperature, milling time and calcination time on magnetic properties of prepared strontium ferrite powders, the orthogonal experimental method was adopted. The maximum saturation magneti- zation （62.6 mA-m2.g-1） of the synthesized strontium ferrite powders was achieved at the Fe203/SrCO3 mol ratio of 6, 5 h milling time, 1250 ~C calcination temperature, and 1 h calcination time. Strontium ferrite powders syn- thesis method not only provides a cheap, high quality raw material for the production of strontium ferrite powders, but also effectively prevents the environmental pollution.展开更多

Methods Orthogonal experiment was performed to determine the recipe of the disinfectant powder. Stability test, suspension quantitative bactericidal test, simulation field triM, and animal toxicity test were carded out to observe its bactericidal and toxicological effects. Results The orthogonal experiment showed that the type of water solution had no effect on the disinfectant powder and the best ratio of sodium chlorite to solid acid was 1：3. Ten grams of the disinfectant powder was fully dissolved in 20 mL water for 2 min, and diluted to 500 mL in water. After 5-10 min, the concentration of chlorine dioxide （CIO2） solution was 266 mg/L to 276 mg/L. After stored at 54℃ for 14 d, the average concentration of CIO2 was decreased by 5.03%. Suspension quantitative bactericidal test showed that the average killing logarithm （KL） value for both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in 100 mg/L CIO2 solution for 2 min was over 5.00. In simulation field triM, the average descending KL value for Escherichia coli in the solution containing 100 mg/L CIO2 for 5 min was over 3.00. The mouse acute LD50 in the solution 5 times exceeded 5000 mg/kg. The disinfectant powder was not toxic and irritative to rabbit skin and had no mutagenic effect on mouse marrow polychromatic erythrocytes （PCE）. Conclusion The stability and bactericidal efficacy of solid chlorine dioxide-based disinfectant powder in single-pack are good. The solution containing 100 mg/L CIO2 can kill vegetative forms of bacteria. The concentration of CIO2 on the disinfecting surface of objects is 100 mg/L. The disinfectant powder is not toxic and irritative.展开更多

Microstructure characterizations showed that S-RS P/M alloy consisted of magnesium matrix and oxide stringers of ~1 #m in width. TEM （transmission electron microscopy） observations illustrated nano-size magnesia particles （10-30 nm） constituted oxide stringer in detail. Due to a relatively higher volume of nano-size magnesia particle produced during S-RS P/M process, 0.2% yield strength of S-RS P/M ZKO0 alloy was found to be as high as 382 MPa, which is 10% higher than that of RS P/M alloy. The improvement in mechanical properties is mainly attributed to the combination effects of Orowan mechanism and coefficient of thermal expansion （CTE） mismatch because of the approximately same average grain size.展开更多

A total of 7050 aluminum alloy strips were prepared by semi-solid powder rolling and then used to study the post-treatment process and evaluate qualities of post-treated strips.Three post-treatment processes involving sintering, pre-sintering-cold deformation-sintering, and hot rolling were used to process the semi-solid powder rolled strips. The results show that both swelling of pores and densification occur during solid-state sintering while microhardness increases. The decrease in density is due to that the swelling of pores has a larger effect on the density change than that of densification. The relative density reaches 92.6% with the maximum microhardness of 300 HV after ＇＇pre-sintering-cold deformation-sintering＇＇ process. High microhardness is due to the ultrafine secondary particles uniformly distributed within the grains. The microhardness and relative density of a hot rolled strip are 176 HV and 99%, respectively, and the secondary particles disappear. Occurrence of recrystallization in these three post-treatment processes makes the grains finer.展开更多

This route is based on the gelling of nitrate solutions by the addition of citric acid and ammonium hydroxide, followed by an intense combustion process due to an exothermic redox reaction between nitrate and citrate ions. The optimum technical parameters are that the pH value is 5, and the molar ratio of citric acid to the total metallic ion is 1.5:1. X-ray diffraction characterization of calcined gel shows that pure phase was synthesized after calcination at 1400℃for 10 h, and the TEM result shovvs the calcined powder with average particle size is about 150 nm. The grain resistance contributes to the total resistance of sintered peliet below 500℃. The conductivity of the sintered peliet at 800℃ was 0.07 S-1·cm-1 higher than the conductivity of YSZ (0.05 S-1·cm-1 at 800℃)展开更多

文摘Oily cold rolling mill （CRM） sludge is one of the pollutants emitted by iron and steel plants. Recycling oily CRM sludge can not only reduce pollution but also bring social and environmental benefits. In this study, using oily CRM sludge as sources of iron oxide, the strontium ferrite powders were synthesized in multiple steps including vacuum distillation, magnetic separation, oxidizing roasting, and solidstate reaction. The optimal technological conditions of vacuum distillation and oxidizing roasting were studied carefully. To consider the effects of Fe203/ SrCO3 tool ratio, calcination temperature, milling time and calcination time on magnetic properties of prepared strontium ferrite powders, the orthogonal experimental method was adopted. The maximum saturation magneti- zation （62.6 mA-m2.g-1） of the synthesized strontium ferrite powders was achieved at the Fe203/SrCO3 mol ratio of 6, 5 h milling time, 1250 ~C calcination temperature, and 1 h calcination time. Strontium ferrite powders syn- thesis method not only provides a cheap, high quality raw material for the production of strontium ferrite powders, but also effectively prevents the environmental pollution.
文摘Objective To prepare and evaluate novel chlorine dioxide-based disinfectant powder in single-pack that is more convenient for use and transportation. Methods Orthogonal experiment was performed to determine the recipe of the disinfectant powder. Stability test, suspension quantitative bactericidal test, simulation field triM, and animal toxicity test were carded out to observe its bactericidal and toxicological effects. Results The orthogonal experiment showed that the type of water solution had no effect on the disinfectant powder and the best ratio of sodium chlorite to solid acid was 1：3. Ten grams of the disinfectant powder was fully dissolved in 20 mL water for 2 min, and diluted to 500 mL in water. After 5-10 min, the concentration of chlorine dioxide （CIO2） solution was 266 mg/L to 276 mg/L. After stored at 54℃ for 14 d, the average concentration of CIO2 was decreased by 5.03%. Suspension quantitative bactericidal test showed that the average killing logarithm （KL） value for both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in 100 mg/L CIO2 solution for 2 min was over 5.00. In simulation field triM, the average descending KL value for Escherichia coli in the solution containing 100 mg/L CIO2 for 5 min was over 3.00. The mouse acute LD50 in the solution 5 times exceeded 5000 mg/kg. The disinfectant powder was not toxic and irritative to rabbit skin and had no mutagenic effect on mouse marrow polychromatic erythrocytes （PCE）. Conclusion The stability and bactericidal efficacy of solid chlorine dioxide-based disinfectant powder in single-pack are good. The solution containing 100 mg/L CIO2 can kill vegetative forms of bacteria. The concentration of CIO2 on the disinfecting surface of objects is 100 mg/L. The disinfectant powder is not toxic and irritative.
文摘This study investigated the microstructures and mechanical properties of ZK60 alloy prepared by a simplified rapid solidification powder metallurgy （RS P/M） processing system （S-RS P/M）, which consists of warm press in dry air and hot extrusion. Microstructure characterizations showed that S-RS P/M alloy consisted of magnesium matrix and oxide stringers of ~1 #m in width. TEM （transmission electron microscopy） observations illustrated nano-size magnesia particles （10-30 nm） constituted oxide stringer in detail. Due to a relatively higher volume of nano-size magnesia particle produced during S-RS P/M process, 0.2% yield strength of S-RS P/M ZKO0 alloy was found to be as high as 382 MPa, which is 10% higher than that of RS P/M alloy. The improvement in mechanical properties is mainly attributed to the combination effects of Orowan mechanism and coefficient of thermal expansion （CTE） mismatch because of the approximately same average grain size.

文摘Semi-solid powder rolling is a strip manufacturing process, which combines powder rolling with semi-solid rolling in one step to prepare high-performance metallic strips. A total of 7050 aluminum alloy strips were prepared by semi-solid powder rolling and then used to study the post-treatment process and evaluate qualities of post-treated strips.Three post-treatment processes involving sintering, pre-sintering-cold deformation-sintering, and hot rolling were used to process the semi-solid powder rolled strips. The results show that both swelling of pores and densification occur during solid-state sintering while microhardness increases. The decrease in density is due to that the swelling of pores has a larger effect on the density change than that of densification. The relative density reaches 92.6% with the maximum microhardness of 300 HV after ＇＇pre-sintering-cold deformation-sintering＇＇ process. High microhardness is due to the ultrafine secondary particles uniformly distributed within the grains. The microhardness and relative density of a hot rolled strip are 176 HV and 99%, respectively, and the secondary particles disappear. Occurrence of recrystallization in these three post-treatment processes makes the grains finer.

文摘A nitrate-citrate combustion route to synthesize La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3-σ powder for solid oxide fuel cell application was presented. This route is based on the gelling of nitrate solutions by the addition of citric acid and ammonium hydroxide, followed by an intense combustion process due to an exothermic redox reaction between nitrate and citrate ions. The optimum technical parameters are that the pH value is 5, and the molar ratio of citric acid to the total metallic ion is 1.5:1. X-ray diffraction characterization of calcined gel shows that pure phase was synthesized after calcination at 1400℃for 10 h, and the TEM result shovvs the calcined powder with average particle size is about 150 nm. The grain resistance contributes to the total resistance of sintered peliet below 500℃. The conductivity of the sintered peliet at 800℃ was 0.07 S-1·cm-1 higher than the conductivity of YSZ (0.05 S-1·cm-1 at 800℃)
文摘The solidification microstructure and phase composition of Ni-base superalloy FGH95 pow- der with different mesh size have been investigated.The structure transition was found from dendrite in major into cellular structure as the powder size reduces and the cooling rate in- creases.The predominant phase was identified as MC-type carbide,with different morphologies,which may be related to their composition and the condition of solidification.Minor phases,such as boride,Laves and primary γ' are also present as ac- companiments of the carbide.

文摘The microstructural evolution of rapidly solidified（RS） ZK60 powders extruded at 250 C was investigated.It was shown that formation of new ultrafine grains took place through continuous dynamic recrystallization（CDRX）,accompanied by the perfect bonding of powders via severe plastic deformation.At a low strain level,a well-defined structure made up of equiaxed and elongated subgrains was developed.Simultaneously,the operation of basal and non-basal dislocation slip led to the formation of low-angle dislocation cells（LADC） within the elongated subgrains.With increasing strain,the number and average misorientation of LADC increased,resulting in fragmentation of original elongation subgrains into a finally homogeneous fine-grained structure.Almost full-recrystallized structure with an average grain size of 0.4 μm was finally evolved after large cumulative strain.The results suggested that structural change was connected with thermal strain,where dislocation activities dominated this process.

文摘It is difficult to synthesize Al2O3/ZrO2 solid solution because of its low solubility under equilibrium solidification conditions.In this work,a new combustion synthesis combined with water atomization(CS-WA)method was developed to prepare supersaturated Al2O3/ZrO2(CeO2)solid solution powders.The ultrahigh cooling rate supplied by CS-WA greatly extends solid solubility of Al2O3 in ZrO2.The precipitation mechanism of solid solution was investigated by systematic heat treatments.The initial temperature of the metastable phase decomposed into Al2O3 and ZrO2 is 1050℃,and it could be completely precipitated at 1400℃in 0.5 h.The precipitated ZrO2 particles were uniformly dispersed in Al2O3 matrix and grew into submicron scale at annealing temperature of 1450℃.Subsequently,together with detailed microstructure,phase composition,as well as mechanical properties were collaboratively outlined to discuss spark plasma sintering(SPS)behavior.The solid solution precipitated Al2O3 matrix and ZrO2 particles during the SPS process.Partial ZrO2 particles were uniformly distributed within Al2O3 matrix,while the residuary ZrO2 located at the grain boundaries and formed special transgranular/intergranular structure.The average size of nanoscale transgranular ZrO2 particles was only^11.5 nm.The compact ZrO2 toughened Al2O3 nano ceramic(N-ZTA)exhibits excellent mechanical properties.This work provides a guidance to produce nanostructured ZTA with high performance.
