The particle size of nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> was determined by nano-particle size analyzer, and the effects of nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> content, ethanol-aqueous solution ratio and KH560 dosage on the dispersion and particle size of nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> were investigated. The material structure before and after modification was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Aqueous polyurethane resin and inorganic components are combined with modified nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> dispersion to form chromium-free passivation solution. The solution is coated on the galvanized sheet, the adhesion and surface hardness are tested, the bonding strength of the coating and the surface hardness of the substrate are discussed. The corrosion resistance and surface morphology of the matrix were investigated by electrochemical test, neutral salt spray test and scanning electron microscope test. The chromium-free passivation film formed after the modification of nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> increases the surface hardness of galvanized sheet by about 85%. The corrosion resistance of the film is better than that of a single polyurethane film. The results show that the surface hardness and corrosion resistance of polyurethane resin composite passivation film are significantly improved by the introduction of nano-α-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>.展开更多

The main phases in the clinker after sintering at 1350 °C are 12CaO?7Al2O3, 2CaO?Al2O3?SiO2 and 2CaO?SiO2 when the mass ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 is 3.0 and the molar ratio of CaO to Al2O3 is 1.0. The proportion of 12CaO?7Al2O3 increases with the increase of Na2O addition when the molar ratio of Na2O to Al2O3 is from 0 to 0.4, while the proportion of 2CaO?Al2O3?SiO2 decreases with the increase of Na2O addition. Na2O forms solid solution in 12CaO?7Al2O3, which increases the volume of elementary cell of 12CaO?7Al2O3. The formation temperature of 12CaO?7Al2O3 is decreased by 30 °C when the molar ratio of Na2O to Al2O3 increases from 0 to 0.4 determined by DSC. The alumina leaching property of clinker increases obviously with the increase of Na2O addition.展开更多
