Abstract:An unified model is presented to establish the quantitative relations between yield strengths of aged Al alloys containing plate/disc like or rod/needle like precipitates and the sizes, volume percentages of precipitates, The nucleation, growth and coarse of the precipitates are integrated into the age strengthening model based on some acceptable assumptions. The aging strengthening of AA6061 and an Al Zn Mg alloy has been satisfactorily simulated and predicted. Furthermore, the dependence of aspect ratio of plate/disc like or rod/needle like precipitates on aging temperature and processing condition is discussed in detail.
Abstract:It was found that a homogeneous and porous titania layer containing Ca and P was formed and converted into a duplex oxidation layer with hydroxyapatite crystallography by the micro arc oxidation of titanium in calcium phosphate electrolyte. The layer morphology and phase composition were not significantly changed by the Ca concentration. Only the concentration of Ca2+ions in solution, the related Ca and P content and the Ca/P atom ratio in the layer increase with increase of Ca concentration in the lower concentration of Ca. It was noted that the HA crystal morphology, the phase ratio and the Ca/P ratio vary with the hydrothermal temperature and Ca concentration of the electrolyte. The HA crystals can be fined by shortening the hydrothermal time. The above results contribute to the optimization of the composition and morphology of the TiO2/hydroxyapatite composite layer on biomedical titanium.
Abstract:The processes of permeation and diffusion of hydrogen in Ti and Ti alloys can be described into three styles: the hydrogen permeating into Ti matrix and dissolved from and titanium hydride diffuses into Ti matrix under a hydrogen pressure; the hydride diffuses with the dislocation movement; and the titanium hydride forms and moves.
Abstract:P hydroxybenzoate esters were synthesis using ethanol, propanol, butanol and p hydroxybenzoic acid as reactants, and reaction conditions. It is shown that TiSiW12O40/TiO2 is an excellent catalyst for the synthesis of p hydroxybenzoate esters, and that the optimal reaction conditions are 4:1 for the molar ratio of alcohol to acid, 2.0%of total reactant mass for the catalyst, and 2 h for the reaction time. Under these conditions, yields of 87.5%, 89.2%and 91.1%can be reached for the ethyl ester, propyl ester, and butyl ester, respectively.
Abstract:A MoSi2 SiC p composite was prepared by a reactive sintering without pressure. The results showed that a dense MoSi2 SiC p composite can not be made directly from the molybdenum and silicon powders reacted with carbon powder, but from the alloyed MoSi2 powder reacted with silicon and carbon powders. The strength and electrical resistivity of MoSi2 SiC p composite with various silicon carbide contents were measured and analysed at the same time. The results showed that the highest strength was 157 MPa and the electrical resistivity increased with the increase of SiC content.
Abstract:The morphology and deformation behavior of the clustered, scattered and isolated hydrides in recrystallized Zr 4 have been studied by in situ SEM. It is shown that the hydride can deform plastically together with the matrix at room temperature. The deformation behavior of hydrides depends on their morphology. The clustered hydrides fracture at relatively low strain levels while the sparse hydrides are more ductile and usually fracture at a quite large strain. The isolated hydride has the best deformation capability and is difficult to fracture.
Abstract:Silver tin oxide(AgSnO2) was fabricated using the conventional powder metallurgy(PM) and a new reactive synthesis(RS) method. Electrical conductivity measurement and X ray diffraction analysis were carried out on bulk AgSnO2 microstructures were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on the bulk AgSnO2 and its cold drawn wire. The results show that SnO2 particles with finer size and fresh interface can be formed in silver matrix as a result of the fabrication of AgSnO2 electrical contact materials by reactive synthesis. micrometer size tin oxide particles were assembled from nanometer scale particles during the RS process. Compared to conventionally PM processed, AgSnO2 electrical contact materials those fabricated by the RS process have a higher conductivity. and workability as a result of a change of combination states of silver and tin oxide.
