The boiling temperature of coated zinc is lower than the melting temperature of the base metal, which is steel. In the autogenous laser welding, the zinc vapor generates from the lapped surfaces expels the molten pool and the expulsion causes numerous weld defects, such as spatters and blow holes on the weld surface and porosity inside the welds. The laser-arc hybrid welding was suggested as an alternative method for the laser lap welding because the arc can preheat or post-beat the weldment according to the arrangement of the laser beam and the arc. CO2 laser-micro plasma hybrid welding was applied to the lap welding of zinc-coated steel with zero-gap. The relationships among the weld quality and process parameters of the laser-arc arrangement, and the laser-arc interspacing distance and arc current were investigated using a full-factorial experimental design. The effect of laser-arc arrangement is dominant because the leading plasma arc partially melts the upper steel sheets and vaporizes or oxidizes the coated zinc on the lapped surfaces. Compared with the result from the laser-TIG hybrid welding, the heat input from arc can be reduced by 40%.展开更多

Four-layered Mn oxides, Na-buserite (Na-bus) and three Co-doped Na-buserite samples prepared from oxidation of Mn(OH)2 with 5%, 10%, and 20% Co/(Mn + Co) molar ratios (5Co-Na-bus, 10Co-Na-bus, and 20Co-Na-bus), were used to prepare todorokite, a common Mn oxide on the Earth's surface, using Mg2+/Co2+ ions as a template. The results showed that todorokites could be obtained by reflux treatment of Mg2+-exchanged non-doped Na-buserite and three Co-doped Na-buserites at atmospheric pressure. However, the formation of todorokites was prohibited by reflux treatment of Co2+-exchanged Na-bus, 5Co-Na-bus, and 10Co-Na-bus samples. Instead, todorokite was obtained by the reflux treatment of Co2+-exchanged 20Co-Na-bus samples under atmospheric pressure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that doped Co existed as Co3+ in the MnOs layers of doped Na-buserites. The amount of substituted Co3+ in the MnO6 layers may play a key role in the conversion of buserite to todorokite using Co2+ ions as a template.展开更多
