The experimental results of the Australian ores and Brazilian ores differ in terms of the initial temperature, temperature range and endothermic amount of CW decomposition,and besides, the content of CW. It is estimated that for every percent increase of CW content in sintering raw material, the extra thermal amount absorbed in the process is about 1.83 x 104 kJ, which equals to the thermal capacity of 0.625 kg of standard coal burning up completely. As to the decomposition of Fe203 ,the initial temperatures, terminal temperatures and temperature ranges of the Australian and Brazilian ores are quite close. However, the endothermic amount of Fe2O3 decomposition of the two turns out rather different: the endothermic capacity of Fe2O3 decomposition of the Australian ores is greater than that of the Brazilian ores. Furthermore, the liquid amount generated in the softening-melting process is closely related to the SiO2 content in iron ore. The higher SiO2 content the ore contains, the more liquid volume it will generate in the softening-melting process of iron ore.展开更多

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-Si...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.展开更多

Additionally, influenced mechanism of Indonesia VTM on metallurgical properties of sinter was studied. It is found that adding Indonesia VTM in sintering process quickly increases the RDI of sinters, and decreases the RI from 78.02% to 68.43%. Moreover, both beginning temperature(T_4) and final temperature(TD) of softening/melting increase gradually, and cohesive zone temperature range(T_D–T_4) enlarges from 219 oC to 315 oC. As a result, the permeability of cohesive zone gets worse, which is proven by the higher maximum pressure drop(δPmax) in softening/melting experiments. It is concluded that, after comprehensively considering all metallurgical properties mentioned above, the proper proportion of Indonesia VTM in sintering process is proposed in the new raw materials conditions.展开更多

A Gleeble system is adopted to analyze the quasi-static properties and thermal softening effects of heat treated 10^# steel,while a Hopkinson bar apparatus is used to investigate its dynamic characteristics under different strain rates. The results showthat yield stress of heat treated 10^# steel is more than that of untreated one at room temperature. When the specimens are tested at different temperatures,yield stresses decrease with increasing temperature except 573 K. Moreover,the influence of strain rate on yield stress are verified,which shows that the yield stress increases sharply from 500 s^-1 to 1 890 s^-1,while it changes a little from 1 890 s^-1 to 4 850 s^-1. The results indicate that yield stress is mainly influenced by hardening effect at lowstrain rate and controlled by both thermal softening effect and strain rate hardening effect at high strain rate.展开更多
