The compound methods of "vacuum distillation + oxidizing roasting" and "vacuum distillation + hydrogen reduction" were employed for the recycle of oily cold rolling mill sludge. First, the sludge was dynamically vacuum distilled in a rotating furnace at 50 r/rain and 600℃ for 3 h, which removed almost hazardous organic components, obtaining 89.2wt% ferrous resultant. Then, high purity ferric oxide powders (99.2wt%) and reduced iron powders (98.9wt%) were obtained when the distillation residues were oxidized and reduced, respectively. The distillation oil can be used for fuel or chemical feedstock, and the distillation gases can be collected and reused as a fuel.展开更多

The effects of the carrier gas flow rate and molybdenum powder feeding rate on the shape and size of the final products were studied. The molybdenum powder morphology was examined using high-resolution scanning electron microscopy. The powder phases were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The tap density and apparent density of the molybdenum powder were investigated using a Hall flow meter and a Scott volumeter. The optimal process parameters for the spherical molybdenum powder preparation are 50 g/min powder feeding rate and 0.6 m^3/h carrier gas rate. In addition, pure spherical molybdenum powder can be obtained from irregular powder, and the tap density is enhanced after plasma processing. The average size is reduced from 72 to 62 μm, and the tap density is increased from 2.7 to 6.2 g/cm^3. Therefore, RF plasma is a promising method for the preparation of high-density and high-purity spherical powders.展开更多

The current--voltage coefficient and the maximum induced voltage in lead zirconate titanate at 1~kHz and resonance (60.1~kHz) frequencies increased linearly with the number of the coil turns and the applied current. The resonance frequency corresponds to the electromechanical resonance frequency. The current--voltage coefficient can be significantly improved by optimizing the magnetoelectric structure geometry and/or increasing the number of coil turns. Hollow cylindrical lead zirconate titanate/nickel structures can be potentially used as current sensors.展开更多

Nd2Fe17 phase with planar magnetic anisotropy is present in the microstructure when x= 4at%-5.88at%, which does not reduce the coercivity of the bonded magnets. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show that Nd2Fe17 phase exists in the form of nanocrystals in the Nd2Fe14B matrix. There is an exchange-coupling interaction between the two phases so that the coercivity of HDDR Nd12.5Fe81.5-xCo6Bx bonded magnets is hardly reduced with a decrease in boron content.展开更多

The morphology and chemical composites of the corrosion products were investigated by scanning electron microscope, grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The results demonstrate that the initial corrosion products on the pure zinc mainly consist of zinc oxide/hydroxide and zinc/calcium phosphate compounds. The pure Zn encounters uniform corrosion with an estimated corrosion rate of 0.02-0.07 mmy;during the immersion, which suggests the suitability of pure Zn for biomedical applications.展开更多

The constitutive equation of the alloy based on the hyperbolic-sine equation was established to characterize the flow stress as a function of strain rate and deformation temperature. The critical conditions for the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization were determined based on the alloy strain hardening rate curves. Based on the dynamic material model, the processing maps at the strains of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 were obtained. When the true strain was 0.5, greater power dissipation efficiency was observed at 800-850 ℃ and under 0.001-0.1 s-1, with the peak efficiency of 47%. The evolution of DRX microstructure strongly depends on the deformation temperature and the strain rate. Based on the processing maps and microstructure evolution, the optimal hot working conditions for the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy are in the temperature range of 800-850 ℃ and the strain rate range of 0.001-0.1 s-1.展开更多

Equiaxed ferrite grains were refined from 400 to 150 nm, and the cementite lamellae were fully spheroidized, with a decrease of the particle diameter from 150 to 100 nm as the impact times increased. The cementite dissolution was enhanced significantly. Correspondingly, the lattice parameter of α-Fe and microhard- hess increased with the impact times.展开更多

The rare earth (RE) elements in CTMA were dissolved by HC1 completely after alkaline fusion. Relationships between the alkaline fusion temperature and various properties of the compounds were examined by various techniques to elu- cidate their roles in the expected CTMA disintegration. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates the phase transformation sequence. A scientific hypothesis of crystal structure disintegration presents that sodium ions substitute for the europium and barium ions in the mirror plane and magnesium ions in the spinel block successively, resulting in that more oxygen vacancies and interstitial sodium ions appear. The unit cell [P63/mmc (194)] breaks from the mirror plane. Then it is decomposed into NaA102, and magnesium, cerium, and terbium ions combine with free OH- into MgO, Tb2O3 and CeO2; Tb2O3 and CeO2 change into Ceo.6Tbo.O2-x. In the end, the rare earth oxide is recycled easily by the acidolysis. The mechanism provides fundamental basis for recycling of REEs from waste phosphors.展开更多

Oxide nanotubular array layer can be formed on Ti alloy surface by electrochemical anodization treatment. In this work, the morphology of nanotubes formed on Ti-Nb alloys(Nb content of 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt% and40 wt%) was investigated using an electrolyte containing ethylene glycol and NH_4 F. Oxide layers consisting of highly ordered nanotubes with a range of diameters(approximately40-55 nm for the inner diameter and 100-120 nm for the outer diameter) and lengths(approximately 10-20 lm) can be formed on alloys in the Ti-x Nb system, independent on the Nb content. The nanotubes formed on the Ti-Nb alloy surface were transformed from the anatase to rutile structure of titanium oxide. The oxide nanotubular surface is highly hydrophilic compared with the intact Ti Nb foil. The surface wettability varies with the nanotube diameter. As the nanotube diameter increases while the nanotube layer thickness remains constant, the capillary wetting of the nanotube surface decreases and the surface becomes less hydrophilic.Annealing changes the nanotubular surface wettability further and establishes less hydrophilic surface conditions due to the removal of hydroxyl groups and residue fluoridecontaining species. It is believed that the surface wettability is changed due to the decreasing content of hydroxyl groups in ambient atmosphere. This work can provide guidelines for improving structural and environmental conditions responsible for changing surface wettability of Ti Nb surfaces for biomedical applications.展开更多

Resulted microstructure was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Microhardness of annealed 0.6μm ultra-fine grained aluminum increased by 67% from 24 to 40 HV. Many 0.3 μm sub-grains appeared at the shock wave center after a single pass laser shock, while high density dislocation networks were observed in some grains at the shock wave edges. Accordingly, microhardness at the impact center increased by 37.5% from 40 to 55 HV. From the impact center to the edge, microhardness decreased by 22% from 55 to 45 HV.展开更多

The reaction temperature range of 290-375 ~C and the reaction mecha- nism were determined using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Activation energy was determined by the four model-free methods, and calculated results showed that the Kissinger method value of 579.5 KJ/mol was close to the average value of the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) methods of 563.5 kJ/mol. The calculated activation energy variation tendency versus conversion factor agreed with the proposed mechanism.展开更多

文摘Hot deformation behavior of the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy was investigated using hot compressive tests in the tem- perature range of 650-850℃ and strain rate range of 0.001-10 s-1. The constitutive equation of the alloy based on the hyperbolic-sine equation was established to characterize the flow stress as a function of strain rate and deformation temperature. The critical conditions for the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization were determined based on the alloy strain hardening rate curves. Based on the dynamic material model, the processing maps at the strains of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 were obtained. When the true strain was 0.5, greater power dissipation efficiency was observed at 800-850 ℃ and under 0.001-0.1 s-1, with the peak efficiency of 47%. The evolution of DRX microstructure strongly depends on the deformation temperature and the strain rate. Based on the processing maps and microstructure evolution, the optimal hot working conditions for the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy are in the temperature range of 800-850 ℃ and the strain rate range of 0.001-0.1 s-1.

文摘In this paper,a novel Cu-1.5 Ni-1.1 Co-0.6 Si-0.1 Cr(wt.%)alloy with high strength and electrical conductivity was designed.After aging,excellent properties of 857±12 MPa yield strength,300±8 HV microhardness,42.8±2.5%IACS conductivity,and 7±0.5%elongation were obtained.According to the atomic structure,part of Ni atoms in Ni_(2)Si can be replaced by Co atoms to form nano-precipitates(Ni,Co)_(2)Si.The alloy’s high strength and conductivity are mainly attributed to the fine and uniformly distributed(Ni,Co)_(2)Si and Cr nano precipitates.The alloy strength was also enhanced by twins,dislocations,and grain refining strengthening.Based on the investigations of deformation microstructure and the orientation relationship between the(Ni,Co)_(2)Si precipitates and the Cu matrix,the main reason for elongation increase is attributed to the formation of deformation twins and the small lattice mismatch strain at the coherent interfaces of precipitates and the Cu matrix.

文摘Surface microstructure and microhardness of (ferrite+ cementite) microduplex structure of the ultrafine- grained high carbon steel after laser shock processing (LSP) with different impact times were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microhardness measurements. Equiaxed ferrite grains were refined from 400 to 150 nm, and the cementite lamellae were fully spheroidized, with a decrease of the particle diameter from 150 to 100 nm as the impact times increased. The cementite dissolution was enhanced significantly. Correspondingly, the lattice parameter of α-Fe and microhard- hess increased with the impact times.

文摘Comprehensive CeMgA111O19: Tb3+ (CTMA) disintegration via alkaline fusion was discussed. The rare earth (RE) elements in CTMA were dissolved by HC1 completely after alkaline fusion. Relationships between the alkaline fusion temperature and various properties of the compounds were examined by various techniques to elu- cidate their roles in the expected CTMA disintegration. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates the phase transformation sequence. A scientific hypothesis of crystal structure disintegration presents that sodium ions substitute for the europium and barium ions in the mirror plane and magnesium ions in the spinel block successively, resulting in that more oxygen vacancies and interstitial sodium ions appear. The unit cell [P63/mmc (194)] breaks from the mirror plane. Then it is decomposed into NaA102, and magnesium, cerium, and terbium ions combine with free OH- into MgO, Tb2O3 and CeO2; Tb2O3 and CeO2 change into Ceo.6Tbo.O2-x. In the end, the rare earth oxide is recycled easily by the acidolysis. The mechanism provides fundamental basis for recycling of REEs from waste phosphors.

文摘Heavy metal containing pickling sludge(PS) is one of the by-products of the stainless-steel-making industry,which has been considered hazardous due to contained chromium and nickel.Traditional methods of PS disposing are landfill and cement solidification.This research is aimed at disposing PS by solidification/stabilization and reusing it as a nucleation agent of glass–ceramics.The crystallization behavior and the properties of a glass in the CaO–MgO–SiO2–Al2O3 system were studied by considering PS as the nucleation agent.Experimental results confirm that introducing 14 wt% PS as the nucleation agent of glass–ceramics can decrease crystallization temperature by 110.8 °C,refine the grain size by forming isometric crystals with size of 2 lm,enhance Vickers hardness by 2690 MPa and decrease water absorption from(1.21 ± 0.10) wt% to(0.04 ± 0.01) wt%.Therefore,it is reasonable to conclude that PS can be utilized as a nucleation agent to improve the crystallization and mechanical properties of the glass–ceramics.The testing results of US EPA toxicity characteristic leaching procedure(TCLP)confirm the safety of this reusing method.

文摘Titanium and its alloys have been extensively used as implant materials owing to their high specific strength, good biocompatibility and excellent corrosion resistance. Oxide nanotubular array layer can be formed on Ti alloy surface by electrochemical anodization treatment. In this work, the morphology of nanotubes formed on Ti-Nb alloys(Nb content of 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt% and40 wt%) was investigated using an electrolyte containing ethylene glycol and NH_4 F. Oxide layers consisting of highly ordered nanotubes with a range of diameters(approximately40-55 nm for the inner diameter and 100-120 nm for the outer diameter) and lengths(approximately 10-20 lm) can be formed on alloys in the Ti-x Nb system, independent on the Nb content. The nanotubes formed on the Ti-Nb alloy surface were transformed from the anatase to rutile structure of titanium oxide. The oxide nanotubular surface is highly hydrophilic compared with the intact Ti Nb foil. The surface wettability varies with the nanotube diameter. As the nanotube diameter increases while the nanotube layer thickness remains constant, the capillary wetting of the nanotube surface decreases and the surface becomes less hydrophilic.Annealing changes the nanotubular surface wettability further and establishes less hydrophilic surface conditions due to the removal of hydroxyl groups and residue fluoridecontaining species. It is believed that the surface wettability is changed due to the decreasing content of hydroxyl groups in ambient atmosphere. This work can provide guidelines for improving structural and environmental conditions responsible for changing surface wettability of Ti Nb surfaces for biomedical applications.

文摘Ultra-fine-grained commercial purity aluminum was produced by severe cold rolling, annealing and then strain- ing at ultra-high rate by a single pass laser shock. Resulted microstructure was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Microhardness of annealed 0.6μm ultra-fine grained aluminum increased by 67% from 24 to 40 HV. Many 0.3 μm sub-grains appeared at the shock wave center after a single pass laser shock, while high density dislocation networks were observed in some grains at the shock wave edges. Accordingly, microhardness at the impact center increased by 37.5% from 40 to 55 HV. From the impact center to the edge, microhardness decreased by 22% from 55 to 45 HV.

文摘Knowledge of the kinetics and mechanism of BaMgAl10017:Eu2+ (BAM) fusion with sodium hydroxide will benefit recy- cling rare earth elements (REEs) from the waste phosphors. The reaction temperature range of 290-375 ~C and the reaction mecha- nism were determined using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Activation energy was determined by the four model-free methods, and calculated results showed that the Kissinger method value of 579.5 KJ/mol was close to the average value of the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) methods of 563.5 kJ/mol. The calculated activation energy variation tendency versus conversion factor agreed with the proposed mechanism.
