Trace Tb element doping can simultaneously improve the magnetostriction and ductility of Fe–Ga alloy. However, the im-pact of trace Tb doping on the microstructure and magnetostriction of Fe–Ga thin sheets is an open question. In this paper, the effects oftrace Tb addition on the secondary recrystallization and magnetostriction of Fe–Ga thin sheets are systematically studied by comparing thecharacteristics evolution of precipitation, texture, and nanoinclusions. The results indicate that trace Tb addition accelerates the secondaryrecrystallization of Goss texture due to the combined action of the bimodal size distributed precipitates, smaller grains, and more HEGBsin primary recrystallization. After quenching at 900℃, the magnetostriction value in 0.07 at %Tb-doped Fe_(81)Ga_(19) thin sheets increases by 30% to that of Fe_(81)Ga_(19) thin sheets. The increase in magnetostriction is attributed to the decrease in the number of Tb-rich precipitates andthe higher density of the nanometer-sized modified-D0_(3) inclusions induced by the dissolving of trace Tb elements after quenching. Theseresults demonstrate a simple and efficient approach for preparing Fe–Ga thin sheets with a large magnetostrictive coefficient by a combin-ation of trace RE element addition and conventional rolling method.展开更多

These properties are experimentally determined at different temperatures using the hot wire method of the “FP2C” machine, where the hot wire probe is inserted between two specimens. The values of the thermal conductivity in powdered Borassus wood range from 0.170 W/mK to 0.182 W/mK for female wood (FNTF) and from 0.169 W/mK to 0.173 W/mK for male wood. For the female and male fibers, the thermal conductivity values range from 0.137 W/mK to 0.157 W/mK for the female and from 0.138 W/mK to 0.168 W/mK for the male. The thermal effusivity of the residues and fibers of Borassus wood varies from: 509.6 Ws1/2/m2K to 543 Ws1/2/m2K for the powder of female wood and from 524.6 Ws1/2/m2K to 547 Ws1/2/m2K for the powder of male wood. For the fibers of Borassus wood, the values range from 410.6 Ws1/2/m2K to 523.6 Ws1/2/m2K for the female wood fibers and from 420.3 Ws1/2/m2K to 480.3 Ws1/2/m2K for the male wood fibers. These results are important for the applications of Borassus wood residues and fibers in construction works regarding the thermal insulation of habitats.展开更多
