Application of semisolid process to Zr-based metallic glass matrix composites

The effect of the cooling slope on the structure of Zr-based metallic glass matrix composites was investigated by changing the cooling slope.The synthesis of bulk metallic glass composites was made by a process combining cooling slope casting and Cu mold casting for Zr66.4Nb6.4Cu10.5Ni8.7Al8 alloys.The results show that the semisolid slurry which consists of the spheroidal or rosette-type BCC crystals and the liquid phase which forms metallic glass phase can be formed by the cooling slope process in this alloy system.However,the semisolid slurry cannot reach to the mold.It is considered that higher viscosity of the liquid phase which forms metallic glass phase causes this result.Thus,parameters of the cooling slope have to be examined further.

Platinum/rhodium Alloy Bushing for Drawing Glass Fibers in Centrifugal-spinneret-blow Process

In this paper,glass fibers were prepared by centrifugal-spinneret-blow(CSB) process.The molten glass got different flow rate from 390 kg/h to 270 kg/h by adjusting the electric current of platinum/10 rhodium alloy bushing.The diameter and microstructure of glass fibers have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and vertical optical microscope(VOM).The results indicated that the flow rate of molten glass was proportional to the diameter of glass fibers when the molten glass got main flow rate of 330 kg/h.The lower the flow rate was,the finer the average diameter was.

Characterization and Performance of Magnesium Doped Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles

The bioactive glass and related biomaterials have become increasingly popular, and have also attracted the research interest of many researchers in recent years due its special performance and tissue engineering application. In this study, to create a material with a variety of properties Mg doped hollow bioactive glass (Mg-HBG) of 80SiO2-5P2O5-10CaO-5MgO system had been produced by using a sol-gel method. The porous structure nanoparticles were specifically made by employing the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant. Magnesium was selected as a doped material with HBG, because it is the most existing cations in the human body which helps for bone metabolism as well as it has antibacterial property. Based on different investigations resulted nanoparticle with the inclusion of the lower molar fractions magnesium has good tested result. For a drug model vancomycin hydrochloride (VAN) was used in this study and it has also good antibacterial activity effect. These findings help the possibility of using Mg-HBG nanoparticles to treat infectious bone abnormalities by demonstrating their compatibility with antibiotics, drug loading and release behavior.

Generalized model for laser-induced surface structure in metallic glass

The details of the special three-dimensional micro-nano scale ripples with a period of hundreds of microns on the surfaces of a Zr-based and a La-based metallic glass irradiated separately by single laser pulse are investigated.We use the small-amplitude capillary wave theory to unveil the ripple formation mechanism through considering each of the molten metallic glasses as an incompressible viscous fluid.A generalized model is presented to describe the special morphology,which fits the experimental result well.It is also revealed that the viscosity brings about the biggest effect on the monotone decreasing nature of the amplitude and the wavelength of the surface ripples.The greater the viscosity is,the shorter the amplitude and the wavelength are.

Thermal Analysis and Immobilisation of Spent Ion Exchange Resin in Borosilicate Glass

The underground disposal of waste arising from the nuclear industry needs constant evaluation in order to improve upon it through minimizing the volume and cost by reducing the amount of glass used without compromising the safety of any leakage from the radioactive waste form. The immobilization of the spent resin (NRW-40) in borosilicate glass was investigated to meet the acceptance criteria for disposal of nuclear waste. The organic mixed bed resin in granular form was used as a waste target. The analysis of surrogate resin doped with radioactive and non-radioactive cesium (Cs) and cobalt (Co) was carried out to investigate their thermal and chemical properties and their compatibility with an alkaline borosilicate glass. The thermal analysis indicates that the structural damage caused by 1 mSv gamma radiation to the radioactive resin has altered its properties in comparison with the non-radioactive resin, same amount of cesium (8.88 wt%) and cobalt (1.88 wt%) were used in both resins. The immobilization of residue shows that the excess sulfur in the residue caused phase crystallization in the final glass matrix. It was found that the volatilization of Cs-137 and Co-60 from the successful radioactive resin-glass matrix (HG-3-IER-500) were more than that in the non-radioactive resin-glass matrix (HG-3-IEX-500). The study demonstrates comprehensive experimental and analytical works and shows that it is possible to minimise the volume of the waste while keeping the required safety levels, however further research needs to be carried out in this area.

Sol-gel preparation and phosphorescence property of Mn^(2+)-doped zinc boro-silicate glass thin films

Mn2＋-doped zinc borosilicate （ZBSM） glass thin films were first synthesized by sol-gel method. In the experiment, a thin gel film was depos-ited onto quartz glass substrates by dip-coating method and then heat-treated to form a Mn2＋-doped zinc borosilicate glass thin film. Long lasting phosphorescence （LLP） and photo-stimulated long lasting phosphorescence （PSLLP） were found in the film sample. According to fluorescence spectra, LLP emission spectra, and PSLLP emission spectra, both LLP and PSLLP emissions are attributed to the energy level transition of 4Eg→4A1g from Mn2＋. Both the phosphorescence intensity decay curves contain a fast decay component and another slow decay one. The thermoluminescence （TL） spectra show that the sample has two kinds of traps at least and their energy level values are about 0.8 eV and 1.02 eV, which could be estimated by the Randall and Willcins formula. The infrared absorption spectra （IR） consist of characteristic vi-bration bands of Si-O-Si, Si-O-Zn, B-O in [BO3], B-O group, and Zn-O in [ZnO4]. Moreover, image storage and logical operation of the ZBSM film were carried out successfully through an experiment analogues of optical storage.

为了探究烧结磨头不同磨头参数和磨削参数对蓝宝石玻璃磨削特性的影响,综合考虑了磨头粒度号、主轴转速、进给速度、磨削深度等因素,设计并开展了非超声和超声振动辅助磨削加工试验,研究了上述因素对蓝宝石磨削表面粗糙度、表面形貌及磨削力的影响。结果表明,超声和非超声磨削工况中,磨头粒度号增大对磨削力和表面粗糙度的影响整体均呈现先增大后减小的趋势。不同磨头粒度号工况下的超声磨削力和表面粗糙度普遍小于非超声结果,磨削力最大降幅为27.2%,表面粗糙度最大降幅为18.6%;采用粒度号200/230#的磨头进行磨削,可获得相对较小的切削力和表面粗糙度,是研究工况下的最佳粒度号,而140/170#的使用效果最差。相比于非超声磨削,超声可在所选的主轴转速、进给速度和磨削深度条件下实现磨削力和表面粗糙度不同程度的降低,在小主轴转速和小磨削深度工况下,超声磨削对蓝宝石表面质量的改善作用更显著。

Mineral Processing of Silica Sand in Hanout Area/South of Jordan

White sandstone samples from Hanout area of Late Cambrian-Early Ordovician sandstone in south of Jordan were studied and assessed as a source of glass sand. Upgrading the sand included removing or reducing the content of the contaminant oxides and the heavy minerals. The aim of this research was to achieve this upgrading by examining the best-suited and cost-effective processing method(s) with sufficient product recovery. Following the initial sample characterisation at “bench scale”, a pilot study was performed. A high-grade Glass Sand product of 500 - 125 μm size fraction was produced by wet screening, attrition scrubbing and the separation of heavy minerals using spirals. The high quality Glass Sand product compared well with Grade-A of the British Standard for glass sand. Due to the relatively low level of impurities in the raw material, a substantial silica sand recovery was produced with a high silica grade. The silica sand product was capable to be used in the high quality glass industry and in many other applications where pure silica is required. The mass flowrate of the feeds and the products in the spiral was calculated for the bulk sample as well as the amount of water required operating the process.

ACF-COG芯片互连电阻建模与工艺参数优化

玻璃覆晶封装技术是液晶显示器生产过程中的核心技术,主要采用热固性固化胶和若干导电颗粒组成各向异性导电胶膜倒装实现互连,而互连后的芯片电阻是材料选择与工艺参数的重要评估指标。本文旨在建立芯片互连电阻仿真体系并探究相同导电颗粒分布下芯片封装的最优工艺参数。首先,通过大量实验获取采用CP6530ID型号各向异性导电胶膜的芯片在不同工艺参数下的凸点互连电阻及凸点捕捉到的导电颗粒数目,并对实验数据进行统计分析。其次,在数值模拟实验中,为模拟键合温度与压力的耦合方式,采用顺序热力耦合方法。在得到热力耦合场下CP6530ID型号各向异性导电胶膜中导电颗粒的形变量后,通过建立的导电颗粒互连电阻的数学模型算出芯片互连电阻,将互连电阻计算结果与实验结果对比,验证仿真结果的有效性及对实验的指导意义。最后,将生产商索尼化学公司推荐的封装工艺参数范围作为优化起点,对随机化导电颗粒分布情况进行仿真,以仿真结果为参考探究芯片封装的最优工艺参数。在实现芯片有效封装的前提下,仿真结果显示,键合温度为190℃、键合压力为100MPa时,芯片互连电阻最小。芯片封装过程中,压力对互连电阻起决定性作用,温度对互连电阻的影响较为微弱。就压力因子而言,在不考虑导电颗粒被压裂的情况下,压力越大,最后形成的互连电阻越小;温度越高,导电颗粒的热膨胀越剧烈,导致互连电阻越大。
