It is found that sintering temperature has a significant effect on the TRS of Fe-based diamond composites. The optimal sin tering temperature is 780～860 ℃. On the contrary, the effects of RE additi v es on values of TRS of the diamond composites have on distinct difference no mat ter the RE is in the state of mixture or compound or oxidization. Experimental r esults demonstrate that Fe-based diamond composites with RE additives exhibit h igher TRS, which results in an increase in diamond retention capacity. The degre e of increment of TRS is different at different sintering temperatures. The opti mal amount of rare earth was found to be about 1% in weight. The effect of RE is more significant at lower sintering temperature. The experimental results also reveal that TiH 2 additive has a negative effect on the TRS of Fe-based compos ites. Microscope observations demonstrate that specimen without TiH 2 additives , shows fewer pores and denser structures in the base metal. It can also be seen from the SEM observation of the resulting fracturing surface of bending test sp ecimens that the bonding of the diamond-matrix interface is better in the speci men without TiH 2 than in the specimen with TiH 2. Also the fracture surface o f the specimen without TiH 2 reveals ductile cup and cone behavior.展开更多

The results show that, adding 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.5% （mass fraction） urea, the emission concentrations of dioxin are 0.287 0.258 and 0.217 ng-TEQ/m3, respectively. The dioxin emission rates drop substantially compared to 0.777 ng-TEQ/m3 flee of urea. With an increase of the urea content, the concentration of SO2 emission reduces sharply. （NH4）2SO4, formed by the reaction of SO2 and NH3, goes into the dust and part of NH3 is released before reaction with the emission of exhaust gas. The NO~ emission presents an increasing trend because the reaction of NH3 and 02 at high temperature produces NOx. Based on the consideration of factors such as the effect of reducing dioxin emission, and the chemical composition of exhaust gas, 0.05% is the optimum adding content of urea.展开更多

The addition of Si_3 N_4 on Ti-6 AI-4 V was varied from 5% to 15%(wt fraction). The effect of Si_3 N_4 addition on the densification, microstructure, and microhardness and corrosion behaviour of Ti-6 Al-4 V was investigated.An increase in microhardness value was recorded from 325.46 HV_(0.1) to 585.73 HV_(0.1). X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis showed that the intensity of diffraction peaks of Si3 N4 phase in the composites increased.The sintered Ti-6 Al-4 V reinforced with Si_3 N_4 compacts revealed the non-existence of intermediate phases, such as TiSi_2(titanium silicide) which was expected. SEM analysis of the spark plasma sintered composites revealed a and β phase microstructures in Ti-6 Al-4 V with uniform distribution of Si3 N4 particulates in the matrix. The corrosion resistance property of the material was improved by the addition of Si_3 N_4 from 0.986629 mm/year to 0.030547 mm/year.展开更多

The results show that densification, crystallization, microstructures and dielectric properties of the composites are found to strongly depend on the type of filler. The densification process of glass/ceramic composites with various fillers is mainly from 600 ℃ to 925 ℃, and the initial compacting temperature of samples is 600 ℃. The initial rapid densification of samples starts at its glass softening temperature. LTCC compositions containing Al2O3, silica glass, AlN and MgO-SiO2 fillers start to have the crystallization peaks at 890, 903, 869 and 844 ℃, respectively. The crystallization peaks are believed as correlated to the crystallization of CaAl2SiO8, β-SiO2, Ca2Al2SiO7 and β-SiO2. The composite ceramic with Al2O3, silica glass and TiO2 ceramic have a better dense structure and better smooth fracture surface. Sample for Al2O3 has the lowest dielectric loss tanδ value of 0.00091, whereas the sample for MgO.SiO, has the highest dielectric loss tanδ value of 0.02576. The sample for TiO2 has the highest dielectric constant value of 14.46, whereas the sample for AIN has the lowest dielectric constant value of 4.61.展开更多

Compared with the alloy sintered in vacuum, the carbon content of the specimen sintered in N_2 and Ar is lower by 0.5%; and the nitrogen content is higher by 0.3% when sintered in nitrogen. The central part of the ring structure may be carbide with either a high W or Ti content. The ring structures are (Ti, W, Ta, Mo, Co, Ni)C solid solutions with different metallic elements and distributions. The composition of the binder phase is (Co, Ni) solid solution with different Ti, W, Ta, Mo, C contents. The structures are uniform for the cermets sintered in vacuum and the properties are the best. When sintered in Ar or N2, the O_2 and N2 in the atmosphere take part in the sintering reaction to break the carbon balance in the cermets to form a shell structure and defects, which results in poor density, microhardness (HV) and transverse rupture strength (TRS).展开更多

The results show that there is no change of structure for NiO or NiFe2O4; there is apparent oxygen absorbing and releasing behavior during the heating process in air for 10NiO-NiFe2O4 composites. Introduction of CaO can accelerate the densification of 10NiO-NiFe2O4 composites. The maximum value of relative density is 98.75% for composite doped with 2.0% CaO and sintered at 1 200 ℃, which is beyond about 20% for the undoped composites. The sintering activated energy of sample containing 2% CaO decreases by 15.87 kJ/mol, compared with that of the undoped sample.展开更多

文摘Ceramic dielectric materials with high dielectric strength and mechanisms of their internal factors affecting dielectric strength are significantly valuable for industrial application,especially for selection of suitable dielectric materials for high-power microwave transmission devices and reliable power transmission.Pure magnesium oxide(MgO),a kind of ceramic dielectric material,possesses great application potential in high-power microwave transmission devices due to its high theoretical dielectric strength,low dielectric constant,and low dielectric loss properties,but its application is limited by high sintering temperature during preparation.This work presented the preparation of a new type of multiphase ceramics based on MgO,which was MgO-1%ZrO_(2)-1%CaCO_(3-x)%MnCO_(3)(MZCM_(x),x=0,0.25,0.50,1.00,1.50,in molar),and their phase structures,morphological features,and dielectric properties were investigated.It was found that inclusion of ZrO_(2) and CaCO_(3) effectively inhibited excessive growth of MgO grains by formation of second phase,while addition of MnCO_(3) promoted the grain boundary diffusion process during the sintering process and reduced activation energy for the grain growth,resulting in a lower ceramic sintering temperature.Excellent performance,including high dielectric strength(Eb=92.3 kV/mm)and quality factor(Q×f=216642 GHz),simultaneously accompanying low dielectric loss(<0.03%),low temperature coefficient of dielectric constant(20.3×10^(–6)℃^(–1),85℃)and resonance frequency(–12.54×10^(–6)℃^(–1)),was achieved in MZCM1.00 ceramics under a relatively low sintering temperature of 1350℃.This work offers an effective solution for selecting dielectric materials for high-power microwave transmission devices.

文摘A pre-reduction sintering process with flue gas recirculation(PSP_(fsg)-FGR)was developed to mitigate alkalis harm to the blast furnace and reduce the flue gas emission in the whole ironmaking process.The results indicated that the pre-reduction sintering process(PSP)can effectively remove 58.02%of K and 30.68%of Na from raw mixtures and improve yield and tumbler index to 74.40%and 68.69%,respectively.Moreover,PSP was conducive to reducing NO_(x) and SO_(2)emissions and simultaneously increasing CO content in flue gas.Circulating CO-containing flue gas to sintering bed effectively recycled CO and further improved K and Na removal ratio to 74.11%and 32.92%,respectively.Microstructural analysis revealed that the pre-reduced sinter mainly consisted of magnetite,wustite and a small quantity of metallic iron,and very few silicate glass phase was also formed.This process can simultaneously realize alkali metal elements removal as well as flue gas emission reduction from the integrated ironmaking process.

文摘ZnAl_(2)O_(4) and ZnAl_(2)O_(4)-based ceramics have attracted much attention from researchers due to their good microwave dielectric,thermal and mechanical properties.In this work,the influence of 5%(in mass)CuO-TiO_(2)-Nb_(2)O_(5)(CTN)ternary composite oxide additives with different composition ratios on sintering behavior and properties of ZnAl_(2)O_(4) microwave dielectric ceramics was investigated.When the molar fraction ranges of Cu,Ti and Nb elements in 5%CTN additives are 0.625-0.875,0-0.250 and 0.125-0.625,respectively,sintering temperature of ZnAl_(2)O_(4) ceramics can be reduced from above 1400℃to below 1000℃.The sintering additives CN(Cu:Nb=1:1,molar ratio)and CTN(Cu:Ti:Nb=4:1:3,molar ratio)can reduce sintering temperature of ZnAl_(2)O_(4) ceramics to 975 and 1000℃,respectively,while maintaining good dielectric properties(dielectric constantε_(r)=11.36,quality factor Q׃=8245 GHz andε_(r)=9.52,Q׃=22249 GHz)and flexural strengths(200 and 161 MPa),which are expected to be applied in preparation of low temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC)materials with copper electrodes.Low-temperature sintering of the ZnAl_(2)O_(4)+CTN system is characterized as activated sintering.Nanometer-level amorphous interfacial films containing Cu,Ti,and Nb elements are observed at the grain boundaries,which may provide fast diffusion pathways for mass transportation during the sintering process.Valence changes of Ti and Cu ions,along with changes of oxygen vacancies,are confirmed,which provides a potential mechanism for reduced sintering temperature of ZnAl_(2)O_(4) ceramics.In addition,a series of reactions occurring at the grain boundaries can activate these boundaries and further promote the sintering densification process.These results suggest a promising way to design a novel LTCC material with excellent properties based on the low temperature sintering of ceramics with the sintering aid of CuO-TiO_(2)-Nb_(2)O_(5) composite oxide.
文摘Effects of sintering temperature in hot pressing, t yp es, states and amounts of rare earth as well as TiH 2 on the transverse rupture strength (TRS) of Fe-based composites are studied by means of orthogonal test and variance analysis in this paper. It is found that sintering temperature has a significant effect on the TRS of Fe-based diamond composites. The optimal sin tering temperature is 780～860 ℃. On the contrary, the effects of RE additi v es on values of TRS of the diamond composites have on distinct difference no mat ter the RE is in the state of mixture or compound or oxidization. Experimental r esults demonstrate that Fe-based diamond composites with RE additives exhibit h igher TRS, which results in an increase in diamond retention capacity. The degre e of increment of TRS is different at different sintering temperatures. The opti mal amount of rare earth was found to be about 1% in weight. The effect of RE is more significant at lower sintering temperature. The experimental results also reveal that TiH 2 additive has a negative effect on the TRS of Fe-based compos ites. Microscope observations demonstrate that specimen without TiH 2 additives , shows fewer pores and denser structures in the base metal. It can also be seen from the SEM observation of the resulting fracturing surface of bending test sp ecimens that the bonding of the diamond-matrix interface is better in the speci men without TiH 2 than in the specimen with TiH 2. Also the fracture surface o f the specimen without TiH 2 reveals ductile cup and cone behavior.
文摘Cubic boron nitride(CBN) composites starting with CBN-Al mixtures were sintered on WC-16 wt%Co substrate under static high pressure of 5.0 GPa at temperatures of 800 to 1 400℃for 30 min.Vickers hardness of the sintered samples increased with increasing CBN content and the highest hardness of 32.7 GPa was achieved for the CBN-5 wt%Al specimens sintered at 1 400℃.The reactions between CBN and Al started to occur at about 900℃and the reaction products strongly depended on the Al content,sintering temperature and Co diffused from the substrates according to the x-ray diffraction(XRD) observations.The CBN composite sintered at 1 200℃from a CBN-15 wt%Al mixture showed the best cutting performance.

文摘With the addition of urea as an inhibitor, four groups of reducing dioxin emission experiments in sintering pot were conducted. The results show that, adding 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.5% （mass fraction） urea, the emission concentrations of dioxin are 0.287 0.258 and 0.217 ng-TEQ/m3, respectively. The dioxin emission rates drop substantially compared to 0.777 ng-TEQ/m3 flee of urea. With an increase of the urea content, the concentration of SO2 emission reduces sharply. （NH4）2SO4, formed by the reaction of SO2 and NH3, goes into the dust and part of NH3 is released before reaction with the emission of exhaust gas. The NO~ emission presents an increasing trend because the reaction of NH3 and 02 at high temperature produces NOx. Based on the consideration of factors such as the effect of reducing dioxin emission, and the chemical composition of exhaust gas, 0.05% is the optimum adding content of urea.

文摘In this research,the effect of the sintering and cooling process on geometry distortion and mechanical properties of PTFE/Al reactive material is investigated.Six particularly selected sintering temperatures,three different cooling modes(annealing cooling,normalizing cooling and rapid cooling),three different initial cooling temperature s,as well as six different final cooling temperatures were designed to compare the effects of sintering temperature,cooling rate,initial cooling temperature and final cooling temperature on the properties of reactive materials.Geometry distortion was quantitatively analyzed by a statistic on the dimensional changes of the specimens and microscopic morphology.A mechanical response properties transition from brittle to ductile was found and analyzed.By combining the thermodynamic properties of PTFE and unsteady heat conduction theory,mechanisms of cooling induced morphology change,temperature induced distortion and strength decrease were obtained.The results showed that the cooling rate has the most significant effect on the morphology transformation,while initial cooling temperature has more significant effect on the dimensional distortion than final cooling temperature.As to the mechanical properties transition from brittle to plastic,a more prominent effect of initial cooling temperature than cooling rate and final temperature was revealed.

文摘Ti-6 Al-4 V-Si3 N4 composites were effectively fabricated by spark plasma sintering(SPS) technique. The addition of Si_3 N_4 on Ti-6 AI-4 V was varied from 5% to 15%(wt fraction). The effect of Si_3 N_4 addition on the densification, microstructure, and microhardness and corrosion behaviour of Ti-6 Al-4 V was investigated.An increase in microhardness value was recorded from 325.46 HV_(0.1) to 585.73 HV_(0.1). X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis showed that the intensity of diffraction peaks of Si3 N4 phase in the composites increased.The sintered Ti-6 Al-4 V reinforced with Si_3 N_4 compacts revealed the non-existence of intermediate phases, such as TiSi_2(titanium silicide) which was expected. SEM analysis of the spark plasma sintered composites revealed a and β phase microstructures in Ti-6 Al-4 V with uniform distribution of Si3 N4 particulates in the matrix. The corrosion resistance property of the material was improved by the addition of Si_3 N_4 from 0.986629 mm/year to 0.030547 mm/year.

文摘The characteristic of easy sintering of aluminum nanoparticle(ANP)limits its application in solid propellants.Coating ANP with fluoropolymer could effectively improve its combustion performance.To find out how the coating layer inhibits sintering and promotes complete combustion of particles from an atomic view,a comparative study has been done for bare ANP and PTFE coated ANP by using reactive molecular dynamics simulations.The sintering process is quantified by shrinkage ratio and gyration radius.Our results show that,at the same heating rate and combustion temperatures,bare ANPs are sintered together after the temperature exceeds the melting point of aluminum but the decomposition of PTFE coating layer pushes particles away and increases reaction surface area by producing small Al-F clusters.The sintering of ANPs which are heated in PTFE is alleviated compared with particles heated in oxygen,but particles still sinter together due to the lack of intimate contact between PTFE and alumina surface.The effect of temperature on the combustion of PTFE coated ANPs is also studied from 1000 to3500 K.The number density analysis shows the particles will not be sintered at any temperature.Aluminum fluoride prefers diffusing to the external space and the remained particles are mainly composed of Al,C and O.Fast ignition simulations are performed by adopting micro canonical ensemble.With the expansion of aluminum core and the melting of alumina shell,bare ANPs are sintered into a liquid particle directly.For PTFE coated ANPs,the volatilization of gaseous aluminum fluoride products continually endows particles opposite momentum.

文摘Copper porous materials have been manufactured by the method of powder metallurgy.Electrolytic copper powders and atomized copper powders are used as matrix material.Methylcellulose and paraffin are used as porogen.The influence of porogen type and copper powder morphology on the property of copper porous materials is investigated as well.The results show that copper porous materials with paraffin as porogen have lower porosity and permeability compared with materials using methylcellulose as porogen,due to the different pore-forming mechanisms.The pore forming mechanism of methylcellulose is thermal decomposition,while the pore forming mechanism of paraffin is melting–evaporation.The morphology of copper powders affects the contact state between adjacent powders,which further influence the sintering shrinkage.The porous materials using arborescent copper powders as matrix have lower porosity,smaller pore size and lower permeability,compared with materials with atomized copper powders as matrix.
文摘ZnO varistors are prepared using the 0.1-0.3mm ZnO powders. The effects of the sintering temperature, contents of In2O3 doping on the non-linear properties of ZnO varistors have been investigated. Theresults show that this kind of ZnO powder has a high sintering activity. It is suitable for making the low voltage varistors. The Vc decreases with the increase of sintered temperature, when the In2O3 content is fixed(0. 98 %, mass fraction), and increases with the increase of In2O3 contents when the temperature is steady.

文摘Alumina ceramics are widely used in many fields such as cutting tools,laser shock materials,roadbed board and refractory.Herein,Al_(2)O_(3)ceramics are prepared by a low-cost pressureless sintering technology,using the binary sintering aids of MgO and SiO_(2).The effects of sintering temperature and the ratio of binary sintering aids on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Al_(2)O_(3)ceramics are investigated.A spinel second phase(MgAl_(2)O_(4))is found out by the analysis of the results of XRD and EDS when MgO and SiO_(2)are introduced in the samples.The optimum properties are found when MgO content is 20 wt.%based on the total sintering aids and the sintering temperature is 1550℃.The bending strength and the bulk density reach a maximum value of 314 MPa and 3.73 g/cm^(3),respectively.The addition of appropriate amount of SiO_(2)makes the formation of liquid phase sintering and the removal of large pores.Meanwhile,a small amount of magnesium oxide doping has an effect on the grain refinement from the microstructure of the sample.Therefore,it is believed that MgO and SiO_(2)are the ideal sintering aids for promoting the densification and property of alumina ceramics.

文摘The almost completely dense copper was prepared by ultrafine copper powder prepared with both methods of electrolysis and novel water-gas atomization through cold isostatic pressing(CIP)and sintering under atmospheric hydrogen.Fine copper powder possesses the higher sintering driving force,thereby promoting shrinkage and densification during the sintering process.The grain size of sintered samples by electrolytic copper powder is smaller than that prepared by the atomized copper powder,and the twin crystals are particularly prone to forming in the former sintered microstructure due to the raw powder with low oxygen content and high residual stress originating from the CIP process.The relative density of samples by electrolytic and atomized powder at 1000℃ sintering temperature achieves 99.3%and 97.4%,respectively,significantly higher than that of the powder metallurgy copper parts reported in the literature.Correspondingly,the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of samples by both kinds of copper powder are approximately similar,while the elongation of the sintered sample by the electrolytic powder(60%)is apparently higher than the atomized powder(44%).The superior performance of samples fabricated by electrolytic powder is inferred from the full density and low oxygen level for there is no cuprous oxide in the grain boundaries.

文摘Low-temperature sintering and properties of LTCC （low temperature co-fired ceramics） materials based on CaO-BaO-Al2O3-B2O3-SiO2 glass and various fillers such as Al2O3, silica glass, christobalite, AlN, ZrO2, MgO-SiO2, TiO2 were investigated. The results show that densification, crystallization, microstructures and dielectric properties of the composites are found to strongly depend on the type of filler. The densification process of glass/ceramic composites with various fillers is mainly from 600 ℃ to 925 ℃, and the initial compacting temperature of samples is 600 ℃. The initial rapid densification of samples starts at its glass softening temperature. LTCC compositions containing Al2O3, silica glass, AlN and MgO-SiO2 fillers start to have the crystallization peaks at 890, 903, 869 and 844 ℃, respectively. The crystallization peaks are believed as correlated to the crystallization of CaAl2SiO8, β-SiO2, Ca2Al2SiO7 and β-SiO2. The composite ceramic with Al2O3, silica glass and TiO2 ceramic have a better dense structure and better smooth fracture surface. Sample for Al2O3 has the lowest dielectric loss tanδ value of 0.00091, whereas the sample for MgO.SiO, has the highest dielectric loss tanδ value of 0.02576. The sample for TiO2 has the highest dielectric constant value of 14.46, whereas the sample for AIN has the lowest dielectric constant value of 4.61.

文摘Ti185 alloy is widely used in key industrial fields such as aerospace due to its excellent mechanical properties.The traditional method of preparing Ti185 alloy will inevitably appear“βfleck”,resulting in the decrease of mechanical properties,and the high price of V element limits the wide application of Ti185.In this paper,a low-cost master alloy V-Fe powder is used,a dense block is prepared by spark plasma sintering(SPS)technology,and a high-performance Ti185 alloy is prepared by controlling the sintering parameters.XRD and SEM were used to investigate the phase and microstructure of the samples prepared under different parameters.The compressive strength and friction properties of the directly prepared samples were studied.The samples with a sintering temperature of 1350 ℃ and a holding time of 30 min exhibited the most excellent comprehensive performance,with the highest compressive strength and lowest friction coefficient of 1931.59 MPa and 0.47,respectively.

文摘The effect of the sintering atmospheres (vacuum, N_2, Ar) on the microstructures and properties of the TiC based cermets was studied using XRD, SEM/BSE and energy dispersive spectrometer. Compared with the alloy sintered in vacuum, the carbon content of the specimen sintered in N_2 and Ar is lower by 0.5%; and the nitrogen content is higher by 0.3% when sintered in nitrogen. The central part of the ring structure may be carbide with either a high W or Ti content. The ring structures are (Ti, W, Ta, Mo, Co, Ni)C solid solutions with different metallic elements and distributions. The composition of the binder phase is (Co, Ni) solid solution with different Ti, W, Ta, Mo, C contents. The structures are uniform for the cermets sintered in vacuum and the properties are the best. When sintered in Ar or N2, the O_2 and N2 in the atmosphere take part in the sintering reaction to break the carbon balance in the cermets to form a shell structure and defects, which results in poor density, microhardness (HV) and transverse rupture strength (TRS).

文摘Process control is an effective approach to reduce the NO_(x) emission from sintering flue gas.The effects of different materials adhered on coke breeze on NO_(x) emission characteristics and sintering performance were studied.Results showed that the coke breeze adhered with the mixture of CaO and Fe_(2)O_(3) or calcium ferrite significantly lowers the NO_(x) emission concentration and conversion ratio of fuel-N to NO_(x).Pretreating the coke with the mixture of lime slurry and iron ore fines helped to improve the granulation effect,and optimize the carbon distribution in granules.When the mass ratio of coke breeze,quick lime,water and iron ore fines was 2:1:1:1,the average NO_(x) emission concentration was decreased from 220 mg/m^(3) to 166 mg/m^(3),and the conversion ratio of fuel-N was reduced from 54.2%to 40.9%.

文摘The effects of CaO content in the range from 0 to 4.0%, and sintering temperature on the phase composition, relative density and electrical conductivity of 10NiO-NiFe2O4 composites doped with CaO were studied. The results show that there is no change of structure for NiO or NiFe2O4; there is apparent oxygen absorbing and releasing behavior during the heating process in air for 10NiO-NiFe2O4 composites. Introduction of CaO can accelerate the densification of 10NiO-NiFe2O4 composites. The maximum value of relative density is 98.75% for composite doped with 2.0% CaO and sintered at 1 200 ℃, which is beyond about 20% for the undoped composites. The sintering activated energy of sample containing 2% CaO decreases by 15.87 kJ/mol, compared with that of the undoped sample.
