The microstructures of Mo-Al2O3 alloys were studied by using XRD, SEM and TEM. The results show that Al2O3 particles, existing as a stable hexagonal phase(α-Al2O3), are uniformly dispersed in Mo matrix. The ultrafine α-Al2O3 particles remarkably refine grain size and increase dislocation density of Mo alloys. Moreover, a good interfacial bonding zone between α-Al2O3 and Mo grain is obtained. The crystallographic orientations of the interface of the Al2O3 particles and Mo matrix are [111]a-Al2O3//[111]Mo and(112)a-Al2O3//(0 11)Mo. Due to the effect of secondary phase and dislocation strengthening, the yield strength of Mo-2.0 vol.%Al2O3 alloy annealed at 1200 ℃ is approximately 56.0% higher than that of pure Mo. The results confirm that the addition of Al2O3 particles is a promising method to improve the mechanical properties of Mo alloys.展开更多

The results show that there are some strong interface combinations of calcium ion (Ca2+ ), car-boxyl (-COO- ) and phosphate radicle ion (PO_4~3- ) between copolymer and n-HA in the composite. The presence of the 2,4-phenylene sulfide acid in copolymer can increase the affinity to n-HA, which causes the formation of chemical bindings between the PPS-PPSA copolymer and n-HA. XRD analysis and IR surface analysis indicate that n-HA is not encapsulated by copolymer but exposed on the surface of the composite, and has same structure and properties with the origi-nal n-HA. The presence of the interface chemical bindings between the PPS-PPSA copolymer and n-HA can increase the content of n-HA in composite but does not cause the decrease of the composite mechanical strength.展开更多
