The effect of varying silicon, copper and iron contents was investigated using a design of experiment (DOE) approach. Semi-solid slurries were prepared using the SEED process and injected into a high pressure die casting press. The hot tearing sensitivity results were reported for different alloy variants. The microstructure evolution during the semi-solid preparation was presented along with actual die cast components. The effects of silicon, copper and iron on mechanical properties in the T7 condition were also analyzed. Beyond the benefit of reducing hot tearing, it is shown that the tensile and fatigue properties remain compatible with the automotive industry requirements.展开更多

The current methodology is based on usage of an expert system which seizes and filters the plant data, analyses situations of equipment stops and mostly instruments failures. It is still possible to internally create a strategy to check the data of an instrument failure. The system is coupled to software with a Lagrangian model of mass balance closure that receives the pre-treated data. Thus, the data goes through filtering and reconciling processes to generate a reliable mass balance of the ore treatment plant. This made it possible to obtain a system that is able to tell the real productivity of an ore plant through reliable mass balances. Residence times on equipment are critical to the balance, thus, they require good logic to eliminate errors due to the characteristics of non-steady state. Among the next challenges is the inclusion of a soft sensor as a replacement of an instrument required for mass balance closure.展开更多

The water flowed upward, covering the ranges of pressure of 23.4 MPa to 25.8 MPa, mass flux of 90 kg/m^2s to 3,281 kg/m^2s, local bulk temperature of 102-384 ℃, inner wall temperature of 167-669℃ and heat flux of up to 2.41 MW/m^2. The results exhibited severe deteriorated and enhancement heat transfer. The experimental results can be calculated by the Jackson＇s correlation and the Bishop＇s correlation mostly. But some data with strong effects of the buoyancy force and the variations of flow regimes can not be predicted properly.展开更多
This paper reports on the preparation of Fe82.7-85.7Si2-4.9B9.2-11.2P1.5.2.7C0,8 soft magnetic amorphous alloys with a distinctly high Fe content of 93.5-95.5 wt.% by component design and composition adjustment.

All alloys can be readily fabricated into completely amorphous ribbon samples with good surface quality by the single copper roller melt-spinning method. These alloys show good bending ductility and excellent magnetic properties after annealing, i.e., low coercivity （He） of 3.3-5.9 A/m, high permeability （μe） of 5000-10000 and high flux saturation density （Bs） of 1.63-1.66 T. The mechanism of the good glass forming ability （GFA）and soft-magnetic properties are explored. The amorphous alloys with the high Fe content comparable to that of the desired high Si alloy can be promising candidates for the potential application in electric devices.展开更多

In this paper, a series of Fe81-xCoxMO1P7.5C5.5B2Si3 （x = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20） bulk amorphous alloys （BAAs） with high saturation magnetization have been developed by copper mold casting method with fluxed ingot. It has been found that using Co replacing Fe in the Fe-Mo-P-C-B-Si alloy could significantly enhance the glass-forming ability and magnetic property. For the BAA with Co content of 0 at%, 5 at%, 10 at%, 15 at% and 20 at%, its saturation magnetization Js（Js=μoMs） was 1.55, 1.60, 1.62, 1.65 and 1.59 T, respectively. Among these alloys, the Fe66Co15- Mo1P7.5C5.5B2Si3 BAA exhibited a critical size of 2 mm in diameter and a high Js of 1.65 T. It suggested that these alloys with high magnetic element content possessed great potential in application due to their high glass-forming ability and high magnetic property.展开更多
