The present study examines the combined effects of chemical reactions taking place between a gas jet and molten metal, the cooling effect of the jet and the evaporation of metal, during a CO2 laser cutting process. A laminar boundary layer approach was used to develop a theoretical model for the oxygen gas jet laser cutting mechanism. An experiment was carried out to monitor the keyhole formation using a video recorder and detect the light emitted from the entrance and exist surfaces of the workpiece using a fibre-optic probe during the cutting process. The experimental study was extended to employ two different workpiece materials (stainless steel and mild steel) at two thicknesses, and varying oxygen assisting gas pressures. It is found that the theoretical model developed in the present study is valid for a cutting speed of about 30 mm s−1 and all jet velocities up to sonic, since the effect of shock is excluded in the model. 相似文献
The fluorescence decay of the 4F3/2 transition in neodymium-doped silica optical fibers is analyzed with respect to neodymium concentration and temperature. New experimental data are compared with theoretical calculations based on (i) Grant's supposition [W.J.C. Grant, Phys. Rev. B 4 (1971) 648] and (ii) the Förster [T. Förster, Ann. Phys. (Paris) 2 (1948) 55] and Dexter [D.L. Dexter, J. Chem. Phys. 21 (1953) 836] model. Grant's predictions are in reasonable agreement with the data. The nonexponential decay predicted by Förster and Dexter is insufficient to explain the experimental data. 相似文献
The solid–solid interactions between cobalt and ferric oxides to produce CoFe2O4 were followed up using XRD investigation. The effect of Li2O-doping on the ferrite formation was also studied. The electrical and dielectric parameters of pure and doped mixed solids precalcined at 1273 K were measured using d.c and a.c instruments.The dopant concentration was varied between 0.5 and 6 mol% Li2O. The results obtained revealed that Li2O doping much enhanced the ferrite formation due to an increase in the mobility of the reacting species.
The addition of the smallest amount of Li2O (0.5 mol%) resulted in measurable variations in the electrical constants (ρ, Ea, ′, ″ and tan δ). Resistivity increased upon increasing the dopant concentration up to 1.5 mol% exceeding the values measured for the undoped sample. Furthermore, the presence of 6 mol% Li2O brought about a significant decrease of electrical resistivity. Also, the activation energy decreased with increasing the dopant concentration. The dielectric constant behaves according to ε=const. 1/ρ1/2.
The Li2O-doping modified the values of different dielectric constants, the change in these constants was found to be strongly dependent on the amount of Li2O added.These results have been discussed in terms of the potentiality of Li2O in increasing the mobility of the reacting species involved in the ferrite formation. 相似文献
0.9Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)–0.1BaTiO3 (0.9PZN–0.1BT) of perovskite structure has been successfully prepared by mechanically activating mixed oxides of PbO, ZnO, Nb2O5, BaO and TiO2. The novel mechanochemical technique skips the phase-forming calcination step at an intermediate temperature that is always required in both the conventional solid state reaction and chemistry-based precursor routes. Ultrafine 0.9PZN–0.1BT particles of perovskite structure were formed when the constituent oxides were mechanically activated for more than 10 h. The powder was sintered to a density of 96% theoretical density at 1100°C for 1 h. The sintered 0.9PZN–0.1BT exhibits perovskite structure and a peak dielectric constant of 8800 at the Curie temperature of 60°C when measured at a frequency of 100 Hz. 相似文献
