Structure of the Intermetallic Compound Ni_3Al Synthesized under Compression of the Powder Mixture of Pure Elements Part Ⅰ: Phase Composition and Microstructure of Main Phase

It was shown by TEM and X-ray analysis that there are four types of grains of the main Ni3Al phase in the structure of the intermetallic obtained by the self-propagation high temperature method (SHS). Every type of grains has its own domain and dislocation structure. There are mono- and polydomains with and without dislocations. The grains of the main phase of monoand polydomains without dislocations and polydomains with dislocations were formed by diffusion in the solid phase. In these conditions NiAl3 phase is located on the grain boundary of the main phase. The Ni2Al3 phase is located at the triple joints of the main phase.

High performance RE–Fe–B sintered magnets with high-content misch metal by double main phase process

Double main phase process is applied to fabricate [(Pr, Nd)1 – xMMx]13.8FebalM1.5B5.9 (x = 0.5 and 0.7;M = Cu, Al, Co, and Nb) sintered magnets with high misch metal (MM) content. In comparison to the magnets by single main phase process, the enhanced magnetic properties have been achieved. For magnets of x = 0.7, Hcj increases to 371.9 kA/m by 60.5%, and (BH)max is significantly enhanced to 253.3 kJ/m3 by 56.9%, compared with those of the single main phase magnets of the same nominal composition. In combination with minor loops and magnetic recoil curves, the property improvement of magnets with double main phase method is well explained. As a result, it is demonstrated that double main phase technology is an effective approach to improve the permanent magnetic properties of MM based sintered magnets.

Determining the Main Gas-generation Phase of Marine Organic Matters in Different Occurrence States using the Kinetic Method

This paper probes the determination of the main gas-generation phase of marine organic mattes using the kinetic method. The main gas-generation phase of marine organic matters was determined by coupling the gas generation yields and rates in geological history computed by the acquired kinetic parameters of typical marine organic matters （reservoir oil, residual bitumen, lowmaturity kerogen and residual kerogen） in both China and abroad and maturity by the EasyRo（%） method. Here, the main gas-generation phase was determined as Ro%=1.4%-2.4% for type Ⅰ kerogen, Ro%=1.5-3.0% for low-maturity type Ⅱ kerogen, Ro%=1.4-2.8% for residual kerogen, Ro%=1.5-3.2% for residual bitumen and Ro%=1.6-3.2% for reservoir oil cracking. The influences on the main gas-generation phase from the openness of the simulated system and the ＂dead line＂ of natural gas generation are also discussed. The results indicate that the openness of simulation system has a definite influence on computing the main gas-generation phase. The main gas-generation phase of type Ⅱ kerogen is Ro%=1.4-3.1% in an open system, which is earlier than that in a closed system. According to our results, the ＂dead line＂ of natural gas generation is determined as Ro=3.5 % for type Ⅰ kerogen, Ro=4.4-4.5% for type Ⅱ kerogen and Ro=4.6% for marine oil. Preliminary applications are presented taking the southwestern Tarim Basin as an example.

Abnormal corrosion behavior of dual-main phase sintered(Ce,Nd)-Fe-B magnets in different sodium solutions

Sintered(Ce,Nd)-Fe-B magnets with high cost performance were prepared by substituting of Ce for Nd with the dual-main phase method.The corrosion behaviors of dual-main phase sintered(CexNd1-x)30Fe69B1(x=0.15 wt%,0.3 wt%) magnets,which were named as Ce15 and Ce30,were studied in 3.5 wt% NaCl,6.6 wt% Na2 SO4 and 3.0 wt% NaOH aqueous solutions,respectively.The galvanic corrosion of Ce30 is stronger than that of Ce15.However,the mass loss value of Ce30 is smaller than Ce15 after free corrosion for 33 d in NaCl solution.In the other two solutions,all the results show that the corrosion resistance of Ce30 is better than that of Ce15.The scanning electron microscope results show that the crack and shedding of the magnetic phase of Ce30 is less than that of Ce15.Combined above,the abnormal corrosion behavior shows that Ce30 magnets perform better corrosion resistance than Ce15,and the degradation degree of magnetic phase mainly affects the corrosion resistance of magnets.

Effect of La-Y co-substitution on magnetic properties and microstructure of NdFeB alloy ribbons

Committed to obtaining cost-effective NdFeB based permanent magnets,Nd_(27-x)La_(3)Y_(x)Fe_(bal)Al_(0.1)Cu_(0.1)B_(1)(x=0-3)alloys were fabricated to detect the magnetic properties and microstructure.When x=1.8,coercivity of 1004 kA/m and the magnetic remanence of 0.75 T are obtained,which are close to those of the original Nd_(30)Fe_(bal)A_(l0.1)Cu_(0.1)B_(1)alloy ribbons.The temperature coefficient of coercivity(β)and the temperature coefficient of remanence(α)of the LaY-substituted alloys are better than those of the original alloys.The research results manifest that La is mainly distributed in the grain boundary phases and plays the role of refining the main grains,optimizing the grain boundary phases and improving the wettability between the main phases and the grain boundary phases,while Y tends to enrich in the main phases and enhances the short-range exchange coupling.
