Effect of reclaimed sand additions on mechanical properties and fracture behavior of furan no-bake resin sand

In this work, the effects of reclaimed sand additions on the microstructure characteristics, mechanical properties and fracture behavior of furan no-bake resin sand have been investigated systematically within the temperature range from 25 to 600 oC. The addition of 20%-100% reclaimed sand showed dramatic strength deterioration effect at the same temperature, which is associated with the formation of bonding bridges. Both the ultimate tensile strength(UTS) and compressive strength(CS) of the moulding sand initially increase with the increase of temperature, and then sharply decrease with the further increase of temperature, which is attributed to the thermal decomposition of furan resin. The addition amount of reclaimed sand has a remarkable effect on the room temperature fracture mode, i.e., with the addition of 0-20% reclaimed sand, the fracture mode was mainly cohesive fracture; the fracture mode converts to be mixture fracture mode as the addition of reclaimed sand increases to 35%-70%; further increasing the addition to 100% results in the fracture mode of typical adhesive fracture. The fracture surface of the bonding bridge changes from a semblance of cotton or holes to smooth with the increase of test temperature.

Controllable hydrothermal synthesis of star-shaped Sr3Fe2（OH）12 assemblies and their thermal decomposition and magnetic properties

Pure phase star-shaped hydrogarnet Sr3Fe2（OH）12 assemblies were synthesized by a mild hydrothermal method （210℃, 12 h）, and the effects of the preparation conditions on the phase composition of the product were investigated. It was found that the impurity phases could be decreased or eliminated by increasing the molar ratio of Sr2＋ to Fe3＋, and that high temperatures favored the formation of Sr3 Fe2（OH）12 and reduced the concentration of CO32- -containing byproducts. The thermal decomposition of the star-shaped Sr3Fe2（OH）12 assemblies was examined, and the results showed that the dehydration process at higher temperatures is accompanied by the formation of SrFeO3-δ. Above 655 ℃, a solid state reaction between the SrFeO3-δ and Sr（OH）2 or SrCO3 results in the formation of Sr4Fe3O10-δ.The mag- netic properties of the as-synthesized Sr3Fe2（OH）12 and of samples calcined at different temperatures were assessed. A sample calcined at 575 ℃ exhibited greatly enhanced ferromagnetic properties, with a remanent magnetization of 1.28 emu/g and a coercivity of 4522.1 Oe at room temperature.

Liquid phase in-situ synthesis of LiF coated boron powder composite and performance study

Among practical metal additives,boron(B) has a high volumetric heating value,making it a promising choice as a fuel additive.Although B can theoretically yield a large amount of energy upon complete combustion,its combustion is retarded by the initial presence of B oxide,which coats the surfaces of B particle.To improve the ignition and combustion properties of B powder,LiOH and NH4F were used as precursors to synthesize uniformly LiF-coated B composites(LiF-B) in situ.The LiF-B mixture was also prepared for comparison using a physical method.X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR),scanning electron microscope(SEM),and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS) were used to characterize the morphologies and compositions of the products.The thermal and combustion properties of the samples were characterized by thermal gravity-differential thermal gravity(TG-DTG),differential scanning calo rimetry(DSC) and closed bomb experiment.The XRD,FTIR,SEM and EDS results demonstrated the successful preparation of the coated LiF-B sample.The TG-DTG and closed bomb experiment results indicated that the addition of LiF decreased the ignition temperature of B powder,and increasing its reaction efficiency.DSC results show that when LiF-B was added,the released heat of underwater explosive increased by 6727.2,7280.4 and 3109.6 J/g at heating rates of 5,10,and 15℃/min,respectively.Moreover,LiF-B decreased the activation energy of secondary combustion reaction of explosive system as calculated through Kissinger’s method by 28.9%,which indicated an excellent catalytic effect for the thermal decomposition of underwater explosive.The results reveal that LiF can improve the combustion efficiency of B powder,thereby increasing the total energy of explosives.The mechanical sensitivity increased slightly after adding LiF-B to the underwater explosive.Co mpared to the underwater explosive with added B,the mechanical sensitivity of the explosive with added LiF-B was significantly lower.
