[1] For the first time double borates RGa 3(BO 3) 4(R=Y 3+ ,Sm 3+ ,Eu 3+ ,Gd 3+ ,Tb 3+ and Dy 3+ )were synthesised by Blasse and Bril [2] at 750℃. The goal of the present work is to study the solid state reactions in the R 2O 3∶3Ga 2O 3∶4B 2O 3(R=La 3+ ,Y 3+ ,Ho 3+ ,Yb 3+ )systems.Such reactions can lead to RGa 3(BO 3) 4 formation. Reagent grade oxide powders were used as reactants and mixed together in desired rations in acetone.Then differential thermal analysis(DTA)was used to study the formations of borates and changes in structure of mixtures heated up to 1000℃.In addition pellets were prepared by using 15mPa pressure and sintered at different temperatures from 600℃ to 1100℃ for 20 hours in order to study the reactions by IR and X ray.展开更多

It was shown that the appropriate （La＋Yb）addition （0.3 wt.% or 0.6 wt.%） transformed the needle-likeβ-Al5FeSi phase into Chinese script or sphericalα-Al8Fe2Si phase. Eutectic silicon refined the long needle-like particles into granular or round particles at 0.6 wt.% （La＋Yb） content. Moreover, the La3Al11 and YbAl3 phases acted as strengthening phases during the heat treatment processing in the alloy with the addition of （La＋Yb）. Consequently, the alloy with 0.6 wt.% （La＋Yb） exhibited an en-hanced mechanical properties response with ultimate tensile strength, elongation, and hardness at 69.35%, 113.26% and 23.61% higher than those of the unmodified alloy, respectively. Further addition （0.9 wt.%） of （La＋Yb） resulted in the increasing of the black acicular RE-rich intermetallics during heat treatment, which could aggravate the situation of stress concentration leading to deteriora-tion of the mechanical properties of alloy.展开更多
