Preparation of semisolid A356 alloy slurry with larger capacity cast by serpentine channel

The integral microstructure of semisolid A356 alloy slurry with larger capacity cast by serpentine channel was studied and the influence of cooling ability of serpentine channel on the microstructure was investigated. The results indicate that ideal slurry with larger capacity can be prepared through serpentine channel with good cooling ability. When the serpentine channel was continuously cooled, both the longitudinal and the radial microstructure of the slurry was composed of granular primary phase and the integral microstructure uniformity of the slurry was good. However, uncooled serpentine channel can only produce larger slurry with fine grains in positions adjacent to its centre and with a large number of dendrites in positions close to its edge, thus, the radial microstructure of larger slurry is nonuniform. The pouring temperature is set up to 680 °C and the solid shell inside the channel can be avoided at this pouring temperature.

Electrochemical performances of AB_5-type hydrogen storage alloy modified with Co_3O_4

Anodic electrodes with the mixture of hydrogen storage alloys and different contents of Co3O4（2%,4%,6% and 8%,mass fraction） powders were made.The effects of Co3O4 on the electrochemical performance of the alloy electrodes were studied.The constant charge-discharge tests show that the discharge capacity of alloy electrodes with Co3O4 significantly increases,and the maximum discharge capacities of electrodes with 2%,4%,6% and 8% Co3O4 are higher than the electrode with no Co3O4 by 0.83%,4.86%,7.18% and 9.21%,accordingly.Linear polarization（LP） and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS） tests suggest that charge-transfer resistance decreases by the addition of Co3O4.Cyclic voltammogram（CV）,scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and energy dispersive spectrum（EDS） tests indicate that Co3O4 can partly dissolve and experience a reversible oxidation-reduction process of Co to Co（OH）2,leading to the improvement in the electrochemical performance of hydrogen storage alloy.

Hydrogen storage behavior of nanocrystalline and amorphous La-Mg-Ni-based LaMg_(12)-type alloys synthesized by mechanical milling

Nanocrystalline and amorphous LaMg11Ni+x%Ni(x=100,200,mass fraction)alloys were synthesized by mechanicalmilling.The electrochemical hydrogen storage properties of the as-milled alloys were tested by an automatic galvanostatic system.The gaseous hydrogen absorption and desorption properties were investigated by Sievert’s apparatus and differential scanningcalorimeter(DSC)connected with a H2detector.The results indicated that increasing Ni content significantly improves the gaseousand electrochemical hydrogen storage performances of the as-milled alloys.The gaseous hydrogen absorption capacities andabsorption rates of the as-milled alloys have the maximum values with the variation of the milling time.But the hydrogen desorptionkinetics of the alloys always increases with the extending of milling time.In addition,the electrochemical discharge capacity andhigh rate discharge(HRD)ability of the as-milled alloys both increase first and then decrease with milling time prolonging.

Calculation Model for Current-voltage Relation of Silicon Quantum-dots-based Nano-memory

Based on the capacitive coupling formalism, an analytic model for calculating the drain currents of the quantum-dots floating-gate memory cell is proposed. Using this model, one can calculate numerically the drain currents of linear, saturation and subthreshold regions of the device with/without charges stored on the floating dots. The read operation process of an n-channel Si quantum-dots floating-gate nano-memory cell is discussed after calculating the drain currents versus the drain to source voltages and control gate voltages in both high and low threshold states respectively.

In vitro degradation and biocompatibility of Mg-Li-Ca alloys—the influence of Li content

Mg-Li based alloys hold much attention as potential biomedical materials due to their excellent ductility. A reduced mechanical strength and concern for biocompatibility are exhibited for Mg-Li binary alloys due to the presence of Li element. Addition of the Ca element into Mg-Li alloys leads to an improvement in mechanical strength and biocompatibility.In the present work, the microstructure, mechanical property and corrosion behaviors of three kinds（α, α＋β, β） of as-extruded Mg-Li（1, 9 and 15 wt.%）-1 Ca alloys were investigated using optical microscope, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, tensile,immersion and electrochemical polarization measurements.In vitro biocompatibility was evaluated by cytotoxicity assays,hemolysis and four coagluation tests. The results indicated that the Mg-1 Li-1 Ca and Mg-15 Li-1 Ca alloys were characterized by α-Mg and β-Li phases besides Mg2 Ca particles, respectively; while the Mg-9 Li-1 Ca by dual（α-Mg＋β-Li） phase together with Mg2 Ca phase. The Mg-1 Li-1 Ca alloy had the highest ultimate tensile strength（UTS） and yield strength（YS）and the lowest elongation（EL） to failure（10.1±1.24%） as well.The EL for the Mg-9 Li-1 Ca alloy was the highest（52.2±0.01%）.The long-term immersion tests revealed a decrease in corrosion resistance with increasing Li content. The results of cytotoxicity assays clearly showed that the Mg-Li-Ca alloys demonstrated no toxicity to L-929 cells in 10% concentration of extracts. The Mg-1 Li-1 Ca alloy also exhibited an acceptable hemolysis ratio. The results of four coagulation tests designated no sign of thrombogenicity for the Mg-Li-Ca alloys except for the Mg-15 Li-1 Ca alloy.
