The correlation between viscosity and slag structure was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy. Subsequently, main phases in the slag and their content changes were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Factsage 6.4 software package. The results show that the viscosity decreases when the MgO content increases from 10.00wt% to 14.00wt%. Moreover, the break-point temperature increases, and the activation energy for viscous flow initially increases and subsequently decreases. In addition, with increasing TiO_2 content from 5.00wt% to 9.00wt%, the viscosity decreases, and the break-point temperature and activation energy for viscous flow initially decrease and subsequently increase. FTIR analyses reveal that the polymerization degree of complex viscous units in titanium-bearing slag decreases with increasing MgO and TiO_2 contents. The mechanism of viscosity variation was elucidated. The basic phase in experimental slags is melilite. Besides, as the MgO content increases, the amount of magnesia–alumina spinel in the slag increases. Similarly, the sum of pyroxene and perovskite phases in the slag increases with increasing TiO_2 content.展开更多

It is concluded that the precipitation and growthof the alpha_2 phase can be controlled by suitable selection of the aging temperature. Aging athigher temperatures can result in the uniform precipitation and growth of alpha_2 ordered phase inalpha_p whereas the alpha_2 ordered phase precipitated only at the lamella boundaries anddislocations in beta_t. Aging at a moderate temperature can promote the tendency of uniformprecipitation of alpha_2 phase in both alpha_p and beta_t. Aging at a relatively low temperature issuitable for the uniform precipitation and growth of fine alpha_2 particles throughout both thealpha_p and beta_t matrix.展开更多

In order to reveal the grain-scale stress field and geometrically necessary dislocation(GND) density distribution around the slip traces and phase boundaries where the slip lines are blocked due to Burgers orientation relationship(OR) missing. We experimentally investigated tensile deformation on TA15 titanium alloy up to 2.0% strain at room temperature. The slip traces were observed and identified using high resolution scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD) measurements. The grain-scale stress fields around the slip traces and phase boundaries were calculated by the cross-correlationbased method. Based on strain gradient theories, the density of GND was calculated and analyzed. The results indicate that the grain-scale stress is significantly concentrated at phase/grain boundaries and slip traces. Although there is an obvious GND accumulation in the vicinity of phase and subgrain boundaries, no GND density accumulation appears near the slip traces.展开更多

The microstructure of ribbon samples were characterized with X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and environmental scanning electron microscope(ESEM). The microstructures of the alloy are composed of α phase and supersaturated β phase,and X-ray diffraction results show that all peaks of the α and β phases shift slightly to smaller angles,which can be explained by the disordering growth pattern caused by the rapid solidification process. After aging at 960 ℃ in vacuum,the ribbon is composed of homogeneous α phase and β phase.展开更多

It is indicated that the parameters for a stable discharge are voltage of 400 V, frequency of 100 Hz, duty cycle of 30% based on a large amount of experiment data. The morphology, structure and composition of the coated samples are studied by SEM, FTIR, XRD, XPS. The results demonstrate that the composite coatings are uniform, and some solid particles of inorganic salt containing calcium and phosphorus dispersed on the coatings. CA tests show that the samples treated by the liquid plasma became less hydrophilic. The variation of hydrophilicity on the CLPT treated titanium is attributed to the change of the function groups on the sample surface. Meanwhile, a possible formation mechanism of the composite coatings is discussed.展开更多

These alloys were designed with varied electron concentration values and named as Sn-rich alloys and Al-rich alloys, respectively. The precipita- tion and growth of α2 ordered phase in the tested alloys under various heat treatment conditions were investigated. Some compari- sons among the experimental results were performed and discussed in detail. Stronger precipitation and growth of α2 ordered phase were caused in Al-rich alloys but relatively weak change in Sn-rich alloys with increasing the electron concentration. The precipita- tion of α2 ordered phase in Al-rich alloys is stronger than that in Sn-rich alloys when the electron concentration value is the same for the two alloys.展开更多

Experimental results indicated that V(V) and Cr(VI) could be selectively enriched into the A-N1923 organic top phase and PEG-rich middle phase, respectively, while Al(III)and other co-existing impurity ions, such as Si(IV), Fe(III), Ti(IV), Mg(II) and Ca(II) in acidic leach solutions,could be enriched in the(NH_4)_2SO_4 bottom aqueous phase. During the process for extraction and separation of V(V) and Cr(VI), almost all of impurity ions could be removed. The separation factors between V(V) and Cr(VI) could reach 630 and 908, respectively in the organic top phase and PEG middle phase, and yields of recovered V(V) and Cr(VI) in the top phase and middle phase respectively were all above 90%.Various effects including aqueous p H, A-N1923 concentration, PEG added amount and(NH_4)_2SO_4 concentration on three-phase partitioning of V(V) and Cr(VI) were discussed. It was found that the partition of Cr(VI) into the PEG-rich middle phase was driven by hydrophobic interaction, while extraction of V(V) by A-N1923 resulted of anion exchange between NO_3^- and H_2V_(10)O_(28)^(-4). Stripping of V(V) and Cr(VI) from the top organic phase and the middle PEG-rich phase were achieved by mixing respectively with NaNO_3 aqueous solutions and Na OH-((NH_4)_2SO_4 solutions. The present work highlights a new approach for the extraction and purification of V and Cr from the complex multi-metal co-existing acidic leach solutions of high-chromium vanadium–titanium magnetite.展开更多
