These excellent properties are directly related to its microstructure called "ausferrite" that is the result of austempering heat treatment applied to ductile irons. Alloying elements increase ADI austemperability and change speeds of austempering reactions. Thus, they can affect ADI resultant microstructure and mechanical properties. In this paper, the effects of alloying elements on ADI mechanical properties, microstructural changes, two-stage austempering reactions, processing windows, austemperability, and other aspects are reviewed.展开更多
Al2O3 and La2O3 layers were coated respectively on a FeCrAl alloy foil by a dip-coating technique and used as the second support for the active LaMnAl11O19 hexaaluminate （HA） phase in a metallic monolithic catalyst....Al2O3 and La2O3 layers were coated respectively on a FeCrAl alloy foil by a dip-coating technique and used as the second support for the active LaMnAl11O19 hexaaluminate （HA） phase in a metallic monolithic catalyst. A sample without an intermediate layer was employed for comparison. The properties and performances of the catalyst were examined with X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, ultrasonic vibration and thermal shock techniques. Methane catalytic combustion was performed to evaluate the activity of the catalyst. The results showed that the activity and adhesion of the HA to the alloy foil could be improved with the introduction of the intermediate layer. Al2O3 provided a strong adhesion, while La2O3 weakened the interaction between the active component and alloy foil. For the activity, the catalysts made with the two different intermediate materials also showed difference.展开更多

The nanomesh structure is prepared on a high-density SWNT network channel and enables a high on/off ratio while maintaining the excellent uniformity of the electrical properties of the SWNT TFTs. These effects are attributed to the effective elimination of metallic paths across the source/drain electrodes by forming the nanomesh structure in the high-density SWNT network channel. Therefore, our approach can serve as a critical foundation for future nanotube-based thin- film display electronics.展开更多
