Modification of Nano-α-Al2O3 and Its Influence on the Surface Properties of Waterborne Polyurethane Resin Composite Passivation Films

Silane coupling agent KH560 was used to modify the surface of nano-α-Al2O3 in ethanol-aqueous solution with different proportions. The particle size of nano-α-Al2O3 was determined by nano-particle size analyzer, and the effects of nano-α-Al2O3 content, ethanol-aqueous solution ratio and KH560 dosage on the dispersion and particle size of nano-α-Al2O3 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-Al2O3 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-Al2O3 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-Al2O3.

Al^(3+)掺杂对Ca_(3)(Zr,Ti)Si_(2)O_(9):Bi^(3+)蓝色荧光粉发光性能的影响

文章通过高温固相法成功制备出了Ca_(3)(Zr,Ti)Si_(2)O_(9):Bi^(3+),Al^(3+)系列荧光粉,其发射峰位于420 nm,对应Bi^(3+)离子的6s→6p跃迁。采用Al3+离子替代的实验策略,优化了荧光粉的发光性能。发现Al3+离子的掺入使晶体颗粒分布均匀,荧光粉的发射强度增强,量子效率有效提高、荧光寿命减小。通过高斯拟合分析Bi^(3+)离子在该荧光粉中的格位占据情况发现Bi^(3+)离子占据两种不同Ca^(2+)的格位,而Al^(3+)离子的掺入,减小Bi3+离子发光中心之间的临界距离,以及促进Bi^(3+)离子格位-格位之间的能量转移,导致荧光粉的临界浓度减小。通过色坐标计算表明荧光粉的色纯度也有效提高。研究表明,阳离子替代的实验策略能够成功优化荧光粉的发光性能,在促进植物光合作用的LED照明器件中具有潜在应用价值。

Effect of Fe_2O_3 on non-isothermal crystallization of CaO-MgO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2 glass

The crystallization behavior and kinetics of CaO-MgO-Al2O3 SiO2（CMAS） glass with the Fe2O3 content ranging from zero to 5%were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry（DSC）.The structure and phase analyses were made by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FT-IR） and X-ray diffraction（XRD）.The experiment results show that the endothermic peak temperature about 760℃ is associated with transition and the exothermic peak temperature about 1000℃ is associated with crystallization.The crystallization peak temperature decreases with increasing the Fe203 content.The crystallization mechanism is changed from two-dimensional crystallization to one-dimensional growth,and the intensity of diopside peaks becomes stronger gradually.There is a saltation for the crystallization temperature with the addition of 0.5%Fe2O3 due to the decomposition of Fe2O3.Si-O-Si,O-Si-O and T-O-T（T=Si,Fe,Al） linkages are observed in Fe2O3-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass.

A review of β-Ga_2O_3 single crystal defects, their effects on device performance and their formation mechanism

As a wide-bandgap semiconductor(WBG), β-Ga_2O_3 is expected to be applied to power electronics and solar blind UV photodetectors. In this review, defects in β-Ga_2O_3 single crystals were summarized, including dislocations, voids, twin, and small defects. Their effects on device performance were discussed. Dislocations and their surrounding regions can act as paths for the leakage current of SBD in single crystals. However, not all voids lead to leakage current. There's no strong evidence yet to show small defects affect the electrical properties. Doping impurity was definitely irrelated to the leakage current. Finally, the formation mechanism of the defects was analyzed. Most small defects were induced by mechanical damages. The screw dislocation originated from a subgrain boundary. The edge dislocation lying on a plane slightly tilted towards the(102) plane, the(101) being the possible slip plane. The voids defects like hollow nanopipes, PNPs, NSGs and line-shaped grooves may be caused by the condensation of excess oxygen vacancies, penetration of tiny bubbles or local meltback. The nucleation of twin lamellae occurred at the initial stage of "shoulder part" during the crystal growth. These results are helpful in controlling the occurrence of crystal defects and improving the device performance.

Crystallization and dielectric properties of lead-free glass-ceramic composites with Gd_2O_3 addition

Lead-free glass-ceramic composites in barium sodium niobate silica system with Gd2O3 addition were synthesized through melt-casting fol-lowed by controlled crystallization technique. Crystallization and dielectric properties of the Gd2O3 adding glass-ceramic composites were investigated. With the increase in the concentration of Gd2O3, the glass transition temperature and the crystallization temperature of the pre-cursor glass shift towards the higher temperature. The crystallization behavior that occurred during the heat treatment procedure leads to the enhancement of dielectric constant. All the three compositions of glass-ceramic composites exhibit ferroelectricity when tested at room tem-perature. Both the values of the remanent polarization and coercive field are enhanced regularly with the gradual increase in the concentration of Gd2O3 additive under the same testing field.

Effects of Annealing Treatments on Luminescence and Scintillation Properties of Ce:Lu_3Al_5O_(12) Crystal Grown by Czochralski Method

Lu3Al5O12 single crystals grown in pure N2 atmosphere by Czochralski method were annealed in oxidizing atmosphere （air）and reducing atmosphere （H2 ＋ N2）, respectively. Effects of annealing treatments on luminescence and scintillation properties of the crystals were investigated. The crystal annealed in air showed the highest luminescence intensity under blue light or vacuum ultraviolet excitation in comparison with that annealed in reducing flux or the as-grown crystal. Under X-ray excitation, crystal annealed in reducing atmosphere had the lowest light yield, and crystal annealed in air had the fastest decay time under ^137Cs 662 keV γ-ray excitation. Different annealing treatments resulted in different luminescence and scintillation properties, which might related with oxygen vacancies or defect existing in the crystals.

Synthesis of YAG∶Ce^(3+) Phosphor by Polyacrylamide Gel Method and Promoting Action of α-Al_2O_3 Seed Crystal on Phase Formation

YAG： Ce^3 ＋ phosphor particles were prepared using polyacrylamide gel method. The structure evolution of powders during annealing process was followed by X-ray diffraction determination. It is found that some intermediate phases, including θ-Al2O3, YAM and YAP, are formed when calcining polyacrylamide gel, however, the pure YAG phase can be formed directly when calcining polyacrylamide gel with α-Al2O3 as seed crystal. These facts show that the existence of α- Al2O3 seed crystal can block the formation of θ-Al2O3, YAM and YAP, and accelerate its reaction with Y2O3 to form YAG phase directly at lower temperature. The emission peak of prepared YAG ： Ce^3 ＋ phosphor is wide with maximum at 550 nm and the exitation band has two peaks, the major one is around at 460 nm, which matches the blue emission of GaN LED and is suitable for the assemble of white LED. Some fluxes can enhance the photoluminescence intensity of phosphor particles, that can be attributed both to the improvement of crystallization processes of YAG and to the stabilization of trivalence cerium ion in YAG：Ce^3 ＋.

Dynamic recrystallization behavior and mechanical properties of bimodal scale Al2O3 reinforced AZ31 composites by soild state synthesis

In this paper,(500 nm 1%+5μm 3%)bimodal scale Al2O3p/AZ31 composites was fabricated by solid state synthesis and the effect of bimodal scale Al2O3 particulates on its dynamic recrystallization behavior and mechanical properties was investigated.The optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy and electron universal strength tester composites were used to characterize the composites.The results indicate that the grains size of the composites are significantly refined and the mechanical properties are obviously improved.Due to the presence of the bimodal scale Al2o3 particulates,the high-density dislocation zone is formed around nano-Al2o3p and the particle deformation zone is formed near micron-ABOap.These zones are ideal sites for the formation of recrystallization nucleus.Meanwhile,the addition of the bimodal scale Al2o3 particulates may delay or hinder the growth of matrix grain through the pining effect on the grain boundaries,resulting in significantly improving the yield strength and tensile strength of Al2O3p/AZ31 composites.

Preparation and Characterization of Gd_3Sc_2Ga_3O_(12) Polycrystalline Material by Co-Precipitation Method

Gd3Sc2Ga3O12 polycrystalline material for single crystal growth was prepared with Ga, Gd2O3 and Sc2O3 as starting materials and aqueous ammonia as the precipitator by co-precipitation method. The precursors sintered at various temperatures were characterized by infrared spectra （IR）, X-ray diffractometry （XRD） and transmitted electron microscopy （TEM）. The results showed that pure GSGG phase could be obtained at 900 ℃. The sintered powders were well-dispersed and less-aggregated in the sintered temperature range of 900 - 1000 ℃. XRD and TEM show that the polycrystalline particle sizes of the polycrystalline powders were about 20 - 50 nm. Compared with the method that Ga2O3, Gd2O3 and Sc2O3 were mixed directly and sintered to get polycrystalline materials, the synthesized temperature was lower and sintered time was shorter. Thus co-precipitation was a good method to synthesize GSGG polycrystalline material.

Effect of content of Al_2O_3 and MgO on crystallization of blast furnace slag during fiber formation

The simulation of blast furnace slag was prepared by pure chemical reagents.Test methods like DSC,XRD and SEM were used to study the effect of Al2O3 and MgO content on crystallization of blast furnace slag during fiber formation.The results show that as Al2O3 and MgO contents in the sample changed,blast furnace slag was crystallized at the average temperature below 1232 K.When the ratio of Mg/Al in the samples is 0.6 calculated by Kissinger equation,crystallization activation energy is at the maximum value and the system is in the most stable condition.The sample crystallization phases are mainly calcium akermanite(2CaO?MgO?2SiO2)and gehlenite(2CaO?Al2O3?SiO2).Secondary crystallization phases are anorthite(CaAl2Si2O8),wollastonite minerals(WOLLA)and pyroxene minerals(cPyrA).Meanwhile,the principal crystallization phases of the samples are different types and have different contents,and the microstructures of the sample sections are different due to the difference between MgO/Al2O3 ratio.

Effects of Nucleating Additives on Crystallization and Properties of CaO-B_2O_3-SiO_2 Glass-ceramics

ZrO2, TiO2 and P2O5 were doped in CaO-B2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics as nucleating additives. Effects of different nucleating additives on the phase separation and crystalline behaviors were investigated by using gradient temperature furnace, DTA and XRD. Then, sintering process of the glass-ceramics was investigated by testing sintering shrinkage, dielectric constant and loss. The experimental results shows that the glass-ceramics doped with nucleating additives represents higher crystallization, with ZrO2 as an exceptional effective dopant to promote the precipitation of wollastonite crystal. Finally, ZrO2 containing glass-ceramics was chosen to study the influence of sintering temperature and soaking time with the help of X-ray diffraction analysis and density measurement. The glass-ceramics can be well consolidated at 850 ℃ for 10 min, with low dielectric constant （5.87） and loss （3.21×10^-4）, which is desirable for LTCC application.

喷涂参数对Al_2O_3-13wt% TiO_2纳米涂层组织和性能的影响

研究了等离子喷涂特征参数(CPSP)对Al2O3-13wt%TiO2纳米涂层相组成、微观组织和性能的影响。结果表明,纳米涂层含有α-Al2O3、γ-Al2O3和金红石结构TiO2,其微观组织由全熔柱状晶区域和纳米结构的部分熔化区域组成。部分熔化区形貌与CPSP有关,低CPSP时主要为球状和部分条状,高CPSP条件下基本上都是不规则条状或块状。随CPSP增加,纳米涂层的结构缺陷减少,致密度提高。不同CPSP获得的纳米涂层的显微硬度和韧性均高于传统涂层,但CPSP过低或过高时,涂层中结构缺陷或结晶相较多,导致硬度和韧性降低。纳米涂层的耐磨性也随CPSP的变化而改变,并与涂层的组织、硬度和韧性的变化相对应。

Synthesis of Y_2O_3 particle enhanced Ni/TiC composite on TC4 Ti alloy by laser cladding

A Y2O3 particle enhanced Ni/TiC composite coating was fabricated in-situ on a TC4 Ti alloy by laser surface cladding. The phase component, microstructure, composition distribution and properties of the composite layer were investigated. The composite layer has graded microstructures and compositions, due to the fast melting followed by rapid solidification and cooling during laser cladding. The TiC powders are completely dissolved into the melted layer during melting and segregated as fine dendrites when solidified. The size of TiC dendrites decreases with increasing depth. Y2O3 fine particles distribute in the whole clad layer. The Y2O3 particle enhanced Ni/TiC composite layer has a quite uniform hardness along depth with a maximum value of HV1380, which is 4 times higher than the initial hardness. The wear resistance of the Ti alloy is significantly improved after laser cladding due to the high hardness of the composite coating.
