The aging effect on the structureand wear resistance of the cobalt-based PTA coating was also studied. The results show that theas-welded coating consists of cobalt-based solid solution with face-centered cubic structure andhexagonal (Cr,Fe)_7C_3. There are a lot of stacking faults existing in the cobalt-based solidsolution. After aging at 600 deg C for 60 h, the microstructure becomes coarse, and another carbide(Cr,Fe)_(23)C_6 precipitates. As a result, the wear mass loss of the aged sample is higher than thatof the as-welded sample.展开更多

Experimental results indicatedthat with the number of upsetting extrusion passes increasing, the grains of the alloy are graduallyrefined and the hardness increases correspondingly. After ten passes of upsetting extrusionprocessing, the grain size decreases to less than 200 nm in diameter and the sample maintains itsoriginal shape, while the hardness is double owing to equal-axial ultrafine grains and workhardening effect caused by large plastic deformation.展开更多

The effects of such factors as reaction time, reaction temperature and pH value on the loading capacity of TTA in resins were investigated. The results showed that the optimum reaction conditions are as follows: time 9-12 h; temperature 90-105'C; pH value 6-10. The loading capacities of TTA can reach 0.15, 0.14, and 0.11 mmol/g-1 when the functional group of FQ resin was - OCH2CH2NHC2H4NH2, - O(CH2CH2NH)2C2H4NH2 and - O(CH2CH2NH)3C2H4NH2), respectively. The structures of resins were characterized by FTIR spectra. The primary study on the adsorption properties of the resins for metal ions showed that there are two kinds of adsorption mechanisms i.e. ion exchange and chelate in the adsorption process. TTA-FQ resins have much higher adsorption selectivity for Pb2+and Zn2+ than for Cu2+ and Ni2+. These resins can probably be used for separating Pb2+ or Zn2+ in the mixture of metal ions or for treating wastewater containing heavy metal ions.展开更多

Calculation results reveal that the exchange-coupling interaction enhances and the effective anisotropy of material K_(eff) decreases with the reduction of grain size. The variation of K_(eff) is basically the same as that of coercivity. The decrease of effective anisotropy is the main reason of the reduction of coercivity for nanocrystalline Nd_2Fe_(14)B permanent magnetic material.展开更多

The grain sizes, the resistivity and the hardness ofthe electrodes before and after deep cryogenic treatment are measured by X-ray diffraction, the DCdouble arms bridge and the Brinell hardness testing unit respectively. The spot welding processperformance of hot dip galvanized steel plate is tested and the relationship between microstructureand physical properties of deep cryogenic treatment electrodes is analyzed. The experimental resultsshow that deep cryogenic treatment makes Cr, Zr in deep cryogenic treatment electrodes emanatedispersedly and makes the grain of deep cryogenic treatment electrodes smaller than non-cryogenictreatment ones so that the electrical conductivity and the thermal conductivity of deep cryogenictreatment electrodes are improved very much, which make spot welding process performance of the hotdip galvanized steel be improved.展开更多

Simulations of the growth under various impinging conditions and effective surface diffusivity have been carried out. Pattern and defect development in deposition on flat, trenched and ridged substrates have been investigated. We found that on flat and ridged substrates, both types of trajectories yield similar features, including formation of cone-like defects on surface ridges. While on trenched substrate, the straight-line impingement yielded more uniform step coverage than the scattered impingement.展开更多

The specimens corresponding to the nominal composition of eutectic with controlled RE(Ce)-Mg agent modifier additions have been unidirectional solidified with a constant growth rate of 2.18μm/s at a fixed temperature gradient of 800K/cm using vertical Bridgeman method. With the RE-Mg agent modifier, the transition of solid/liquid (S/L) interface from columnar to dendrite (CDT), refinement and developed branching of γ and (Fe,Mn)3C phases in the eutectics, and the transition of growth style from faceted-nonfaceted (F/NF) to nonfaceted-nonfaceted (NF/NF) for γ and (Fe,Mn)3C phases in the eutectic have been observed and investigated theoretically. Those can explain the granulation of γ+(Fe,Mn)3C eutectics in the as cast because the roundness increases with the developed lateral branching of primary austenite dendrites, refinement of eutectics, and NF/NF growth of γ and (Fe,Mn)3C phases in the eutectic.展开更多

Directional solidification of EAMC has been carried out using vertical Bridgman method at 50.6μms-1 with a constant temperature gradient about 800Kcm-1. The higher constitutional supercooling ahead of solid-liquid interface attributing to the larger results in the enlargement of γ-(Fe,Mn)3C coupled-zone and the increment of the nucleation rate of eutectics. Therefore, f increases with increasing . The branches of the primary austenite dendrites develop more greatly as increases, which limits the growth of eutectics.

The release performances of 5-FU microspheres in vitro were studied in PH 7.4 phosphate buffered saline. The therapeutic efficacy of 5-FU-loaded PLA microspheres in vivo were studied using MGC-803 (human stomach cancer) xenograft. 32 nude mice were divided into four groups (n =8), 5-FU loaded PLA microspheres were injected at tumor site. VEGF121 monoclonal antibody was connected with 5-FU loaded PLA nanoparticles through carbodimide. The targeted effect of VEGF 5-FU loaded nanoparticles in vivo were observed by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) after tail vein injection at 1 h and 2 h. SEM observation showed that microspheres were spherical, and the diameters of two kinds of microspheres were 1 μm and 5 μm respectively. The mean diameter of nanoparticles was 191.0 nm, and the index of polydispersity was 0.202. The drug was released following biphasic kinetics, initial burst and the following steady phase. 1 μm and 5 μm 5-FU-loaded microspheres both resulted in increased life span (1 μm microspheres median survival time=40.63 days, 5 μm microspheres median survival time=62.25 days), against 5-FU pure drug (median survival time=14.5 days). These results strongly suggest that 5-FU-loaded PLA microspheres increase life span of nude mice bearing MGC-803 tumors. After injection for 2 h, almost all the VEGF/5-FU loaded PLA nanoparticles could centralize at the human gastric cancer xenograft sites. That demonstrated VEGF monoclonal antibody remain its bioactivity after connection with nanoparticles, VEGF/5-FU loaded PLA nanoparticles had very exact targeting function for gastric tumor xenograft.展开更多
