Effect of Rare Earths on Diffusion Coefficient and Transfer Coefficient of Carbon during Carburizing

The diffusion coefficient of carbon in surface layer of steel-20 rare earth carburixed at 880 degreesC and 900 degreesC for 8 h was calculated by substituting the measured layer depths into the diffusion equation. The mathematical model of the transfer coefficient of carbon was deduced based on the kinetics of weight gain during gas carburizing. The calculated results show that the main reason why the gas carburizing process is accelerated is due to the obvious increase in the diffusion coefficient and transfer coefficient of carbon resulted from the addition of RE.

Investigations on structure and proton diffusion coefficient of rare earth ion (Y^(3+)/Nd^(3+)) and aluminum codoped α-Ni(OH)_2

Rare earth ion （Nd^3＋/Y^3＋） and Al^3＋ codoped α-Ni（OH）2 powers were synthesized by chemical coprecipitation method. The structttre was analyzed with X-ray diffraction （XRD） and thermal gravity （TG）. Cyclic voltammetry （CV） tests were performed to evaluate the proton diffusion coefficients of the samples. The results indicated that codoping of Y-Al and Nd-Al resulted in more water molecules contained within the crystal lattice and accordingly increased the interlayer spacing. In particular, the Y-Al codoped α-Ni（OH）2 showed a turbostratic structure. The calculated diffusion coefficients of the Y-Al codoped α-Ni（OH）2 and Nd-Al codoped α-Ni（OH）2 were 3.5×10^-10cm^2/s and 2.8× 10^-10 cm^2/s, respectively.

Effect of Rare Earths on the Wear Resistance and High Temperature Oxidation Resistance of H13 Steel Surface-Treated with S-N-C Co-diffusion

Steel H13 was put in non toxic salt bath with addition of CeO 2 for co diffusion of sulfur, nitrogen and carbon and followed by oxidation treatment. The effect of rare earths on the improvement of wear resistance and high temperature oxidation resistance of steel H13 was studied using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometry and X ray diffraction. The results show that compared to the surface treatment without rare earth addition, the treatment with addition of rare earths improves the wear resistance and high temperature resistance to oxidation of steel H13. Under the conditions of 30 N and 2 h, the wear weight loss was decreased by 40%, and the friction coefficient was reduced from 0 25 to 0 22; whereas for 150 N and 0 2 h, the wear weight loss was decreased by 24%, and the friction coefficient was reduced from 0 35 to 0 32. For the oxidation at 700 ℃ and 4 h, the rate of weight gain decreased to only about 1/30 of that without rare earths.

Sulfuric acid recovery from rare earth sulphate solutions by diffusion dialysis

Sulfuric acid recovery from rare earth sulphate solutions by diffusion dialysis was studied. The mass transfer model of diffusion dialysis was established, the comparison between the experimental results and mathematical results was carried out, and the numerical analysis on the effects of operational parameters was studied. The results indicate that the derived mathematical model shows good quantitative relation between sulphuric acid recovery ratio and operational parameters, and the mathematical results agree with the experimental results well. The numerical analysis results indicate that it is appropriate to keep the ratio of water and feed flow rates, processing capacity per membrane area and recovery ratio of sulphuric acid to be 1, 20 L/(m2·d) and 0.7?0.8, respectively.

Effect of rare earth (RE) on diffusion of aluminum atoms in aluminizing

The RE-aluminized coating and pure aluminized coating on 20 carbons steel were prepared by hot dip aluminizing method at 740℃. After diffusion treatment at 850℃for 4 h, the distribution of aluminum and lanthanum elements in the coating was analyzed with energy disperse spectroscopy(EDS) and electron probe microanalyses(EPMA), and the lattice parameter ofα-Fe in the matrix of the coating was measured precisely by X-ray diffractometer(XRD). The results show that RE permeates into the aluminized coating, leads to lattice disturbance and increases the depth of the aluminized coating. On the basis of the results, the expression of the diffusion coefficient of Al atoms is derived from the diffusion flow, and the effect of the high vacancy concentration and high concentration gradient of vacancies on the diffusion of Al atoms was analyzed by establishing the kinetics model of the vacancy mechanism of diffusion. The results show that the high vacancy concentration and high concentration gradient of vacancies in the RE-aluminized processes are the main reason why the diffusion coefficient of Al atoms in RE-aluminizing is bigger than that in pure aluminizing.

Effect of Temperature and Phase Constitution on Kinetics of La Diffusion

The diffusion of La in ε-Fe 2～3N(ε)and γ′-Fe 4N (γ′)phases produced by plasma nitriding was studied. It is found that with increasing nitriding time, the ε phase continuously decomposes into γ′ one under employed experimental conditions and compared with γ′ phase or ε+γ′ ones, the mono one ε has an impedient effect on depth of La diffusion. The growth of La layer in dual phases and mono one follows an approximate exponential law and a parabolic one, respectively, and this kinetics law does not change with increasing temperature. The effect of increasing temperature in the range of 520 to 560 ℃ on La diffusion depth is less than that of phase constitution change such as the decomposition of ε phase into γ′ one.

Synthesis of Y_2O_3:Eu^(3+) phosphors by surface diffusion and their photoluminescence properties

Y2O3:Eu3+ phosphors were synthesized by the surface diffusion method (SDM). X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) were used to characterize the structure, morphology and component of Y2O3:Eu3+ phosphors. The photoluminescent (PL) properties were also investigated. The results reveal that the PL intensity of Y2O3:Eu3+ phosphors prepared by the surface diffusion method (SDM) is much higher than that prepared by homogeneous co-precipitation. The luminescence efficiency of the sample (Y0.997, Eu0.003)2O3 prepared by the SDM is almost 1.9 times that by homogeneous co-precipitation. The concentration of Eu3+ in the phosphor Y2O3:Eu3+ prepared by the surface diffusion can be reduced greatly owing to the activator, Eu3+ ions, distributing mainly in the outer layer of the phosphors where the photon generation process occurs.

Character of geoelectric intermediate term precursory anomaly and judgment for intermediate term tendency of strong earthquake

Based on systematic processing to long-term geoelectric observation data, we mainly studied the character of earthresistivity tendency anomaly for MS>7.0 strong earthquakes and its relation with seismogenic process. The character of quick descending at early stage and then slow development with steady shape in geoelectricity is a basicfeature ofgeoelectric tendency anomaly for strong earthquake. Usually the ratio of average time between the earlyquick descend stage and the post slow development stage is about if4. In addition, for Tangshan Ms=7.8 andSongpan Ms=7.2 earthquake, we studied the diffusion character of the geoelectric tendency anomaly development.For Tangshan earthquake, we also studied the time-space-strength dynamic evolution character of its geoelectricprecursory information quantity. The results showed that diffusion velocity of geoelectric precursory tendencyanomaly for the two earthquakes is respectively 90 kmja and 100 km/a. The variation character of geoelectric tendency anomaly presents some indexes for judgment of strong earthquake tendency background and intermediateterm prediction.

Effect of Rare Earth Elements on Kinetics of Salt Bath Vanadizing

Adding rare earth into permeating agent has an obvious catalytic effect on vanadizing on steel surface, and the vanadizing rate can increase about 30%～40%. The case depth ( x ) of the samples which have undergone different periods of vanadizing time at 950 ℃ was measured. These depth values ( x ) and its corresponded time ( t ) were substituded into the experimental formula, i.e., x n=Kt (ln x=(1/n) ln K+(1/n) ln t ), and were processed by mono linear regression. It is found that x and t have the relationship of x 2=Kt . Addition of rare earth can promote reaction of the permeating agent, and increase vanadium potential of the agent. Rare earth, as a strong reductant, makes the oxide on the steel surface reduced, and thus activates the steel surface. Permeating of rare earth into steel and the VC layer intensifies the crystal fault density, and, together with its excellent chemical activation, makes carbon atoms diffuse easily. These functions of rare earth can decrease the diffusion activation energy of the carbon atoms, and therefore has catalytic effect on permeation.

EFFECT OF RARE EARTH ON VANADIZATION PROCESS IN BORAX BATH

This paper investigates the effect of rare earth elements on the kinetic process, microstructure and mechanical properties of vanadization in borax bath. The results show that addition of rare earth elements to vanadizing agent has obvious catalytic effect on the rate of vanadization, which has been enchanced by 30%. The wear and corrosion resistance of vanadium carbide layer were prompted by the addition of rare earth to the agent. Through increasing vanadium potential of the agent, activating the surface of workpieces and decreasing the activation energy of diffusion of carbon, rare earth elements accelerate the rate of vanadization process.

NWC人工甚低频台站信号产生“条缕状”准捕获电子能谱的模拟研究

遍布全球的人工甚低频台站发射的信号主要用于对潜通信,在夜间,这些信号可以泄漏进磁层与内辐射带中几十至几百keV电子发生回旋共振,从而导致电子沉降.这一过程是导致内辐射带电子损失的重要原因,也是磁层-电离层耦合过程中能量和物质输运的重要环节.被台站信号散射的电子呈现出能量随L增加而减小的“条缕状”能谱结构,与台站信号和电子的一阶回旋共振能量曲线相符.低轨卫星可以对“条缕状”能谱结构进行清晰地观测,为研究近地空间波粒相互作用提供了重要契机.本文基于Drift-Diffusion-Source模型,复现了DEMETER卫星于2009年3月19日多个轨道测量的NWC台站信号导致的“条缕状”能谱,量化了NWC台站信号对辐射带电子的散射作用,明晰了NWC台站信号的幅度和传播角,揭示了内辐射带电子漂移过程中的动态变化规律,为开发人工影响辐射带技术提供了重要理论参考.
