Structure of Bi_2O_3-ZnO-B_2O_3 system low-melting sealing glass

Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3 system glass is a kind of lead-free low melting sealing glasses. The structure of Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3 system low-melting sealing glass was investigated by DSC, FT-IR, XRD and SEM. The results show that with the increase of B2O3 content, the transition temperature Tg and softening temperature Tf of Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3 system low-melting sealing glasses increase, which leads to the liquid phase precipitation temperature increasing and promotes the structure stability in the glass. With increasing the heat treatment temperature, a large number of liquid phases appear in samples and the sinter efficiency of the samples increases. The FT-IR spectra of the glasses show the presence of some bands that are assigned to vibrations of Bi--O bond from [BO3] pyramidal and [BiO6] octahedral units and B--O from [BO3] and [BO4] units. With the decrease of B203 content, the crystallization tendency of the glass increases. In glass samples Bl and B〉 crystallization starts at 460 ℃ and 540 ℃, respectively. Both of them precipitate Bi24B2O39 phases.

Effect of SrO Content on Structure,Thermal Properties and Chemical Stability of Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO-SrO Low-melting Glass for Si-Al Alloy Package

The 40Bi2O3-30B2O3-(30-x)ZnO-xSrO (x=0-15mol%,BBZSr) glass system was prepared by the conventional melt quenching method.The effect of SrO addition on structure,thermal properties,chemical stability and sealing performance of BBZSr glass were investigated thoroughly.The experimental results show that the total proportions of [BO3] group and [BO4] group decrease and the vibrations of [BiO3] group and [BiO6] group become weaker with the increase of SrO addition content,suggesting the glass network structure is strengthened owing to the SrO addition.Hence,both the thermal and chemical stability were significantly improved as the SrO content was increased.When the SrO content increased from 0 to 15mol%,the glass transition temperature and softening temperature slightly increased from 380 to 388 ℃ and from 392.7 to 402.2 ℃,respectively,meanwhile the coefficient of thermal expansion also increased from 10.49×10^-6 to 11.16×10^-6/℃ (30-300 ℃).The BBZSr glass with 15mol% SrO exhibited excellent comprehensive properties with low glass transition temperature(384.9 ℃),low softening temperature(400.3 ℃),high coefficient of thermal expansion (11.14×10^-6 ℃,30-300 ℃),good thermal and chemical stability.Besides,the glass had the good wetting behavior and sealing performance for Al-50%Si alloy.

Preparation and Characterization of Low-melting Glasses Used as Binder for Protective Coating of Steel Slab

The low-melting phosphate glass was prepared for production of glass binders for protective coating of steel slab. Effects of different O/P ratios on glass structures and properties were analyzed. Differential thermal analysis （DTA） and infrared spectroscopy （IR） techniques were applied for low-melting glass binder. It was found that the glass transition temperature（T） was about 300 ℃ and softening temperature（T1） was about 480 ℃. The choice of O/P ratio was very important to the glass transition and softening temperatures. When more P=O bonds existed in the glass networks, P-O-P bond angle was deformed with decreasing of the ratio of O/E The coatings could adhere to the substrates instantaneously at 800 ℃ when the content of binder exceeded 3wt%. The optimal content of glass binder was 5wt%.

The morphology and dynamic viscoelasticity for PPS/low-melting temperature glass hybrids prepared by melt blending

Polyphenylene sulfides（PPS） and low-melting temperature glasses（LMTG） were used to prepare a PPS/LMTG organicinorganic hybrid material by melt blending.The etched surfaces of the hybrids were observed by scanning electron microscope （SEM） and the images showed different dispersed phase morphologies compared to traditional filled composites,which maybe induced by shear.Advanced rheometric expanded system（ARES） was used to investigate the rheological behaviors of the hybrids and the results showed that the strain y dependence of dynamic storage modulus G＇ for the hybrids with high contents of LMTG did not appear Payne effect.

Coercivity enhancement of hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B magnets with Pr-Cu alloy addition

Effects of low-melting Pr-Cu alloy addition on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the hot-deformation Nd-Fe-B magnets were investigated.A small amount of Pr-Cu addition enhances the coercivity of the hot-deformation Nd-Fe-B magnets obviously.The coercivity of the hotdeformation Nd-Fe-B magnets with 4.0 wt%Pr_(85)Cu_(15)addition increases to 1271 kA·m^(-1),75.69%higher than that of Pr-Cu-free magnet(723 kA·m^(-1)),and then decreases with5 wt%Pr_(85)Cu_(15)addition.It is observed that there a uniform RE-rich phase is formed wrapping the Nd2Fe14B main phase in the sample with 4.0%Pr_(85)Cu_(15)addition by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),which promotes the coercivity.The angular dependence of coercivity for the hot-deformation Nd-Fe-B magnets indicates that the coercivity mechanism is nucleation combined with domain wall pinning.The domain wall pinning is weakened,while the nucleation is enhanced after Pr-Cu addition.Theremanence,intrinsic coercivity,and maximum magnetic energy product of the original Nd-Fe-B magnet are 1.45 T,723 kA·m^(-1),and 419.8 kJ·m^(-3),respectively,and those of the sample with 4.0%Pr_(85)Cu_(15)alloy addition are 1.30 T,1271 kA·m^(-1),and 330.0 kJ·m^(-3),respectively.
