Densification and magnetic properties of low-fire NiCuZn ferrites

The mixing of (Ni_0.38Cu_0.12Zn_0.50)Fe₂O₄ powders with Bi₂O₃ was performed using the solid-state mixing as well as wet chemical coating processes such as ammonia precipitation coating, urea precipitation coating, and solution coating. Ferrites prepared from the wet chemical coating processes could be densified at a lower sintering temperature without significant impact on the microstructural evolution compared with that prepared by solid-state mixing. In addition, samples prepared from the wet chemical coating process have a higher B_r and B_s and a lower H_c compared with that from solid-state mixing. Considering both the effects of sintering temperature and sintered density (>95% T.D.), ferrites with 1.5 wt% Bi₂O₃ addition by ammonia precipitation coating sintered at 900°C can provide the best permeability and quality factor (191 and 68.2, respectively) among all the cases studied.

五彩湾煤灰的烧结特性及不同添加剂的影响规律

采用热机械分析仪、高温热台显微镜、XRD及FactSage软件相结合的方法,研究了五彩湾煤灰的烧结特性及不同添加剂的影响规律。结果表明,沙子(SiO_2含量约为80%)和煤矸石(SiO_2含量为54%,Al_2O_3含量为42%)能改变煤灰的烧结特性(烧结温度和烧结速率),但不同添加剂改变的程度不同。添加10%的沙子能使烧结温度提高70℃,而0-15%煤矸石不能使烧结温度升高。此外,烧结速率随添加剂增多而减小,烧结区间随添加剂增多而延长。进一步研究表明,添加剂能够改变煤灰初始液相温度、组成、含量、煤灰中硫酸盐的分解温度及初始液相温度从而改变煤灰的烧结特性。     

On the influence of inter-layer time and energy density on selected critical-to-quality properties of PA12 parts produced via laser sintering

Laser Sintering (LS) of polymers is an Additive Manufacturing technique progressively used to produce functional parts. However, LS parts still present a certain quality variability. Efficient consolidation of the polymeric powder, necessary to obtain a dense part, mainly depends on the viscosity of the molten polymer and on the time given for the polymer to coalesce. The polymer viscosity is a function of the temperature and, consequently, of the energy density (ED) input by the laser. The sintering time strongly depends on the surface area to be laser-scanned in each layer, which in turn is strongly related to the product complexity and the number of parts within one build. The aim of this work is to investigate how this thermo-temporal effect, influenced by the ED and the inter-layer time, influences the resulting LS PA12 part quality at both micro-level (e.g., porosity, crystallinity) and macro-level (e.g., dimensional accuracy, mechanical performance).

以B和TiO2为初始原料,依据压力可抑制原子长程扩散的动力学效应,通过高温高压(4~5GPa,1 200~1 500℃)一步反应烧结法制备B6O/TiB2复合材料。当B和TiO2物质的量之比为14.0∶0.8时,在5GPa、1 200℃、保温30min条件下得到的烧结样品性能较好,非晶硼(纯度93%~94%)过量混合粉末样品的硬度最高约为29GPa,高纯晶体硼(纯度99.99%)过量混合粉末样品的硬度最高约为32GPa,相对密度可高达99%。实验结果表明:高压抑制晶粒过度长大,同时又有利于B6O的合成,使其合成温度比常压下有所降低;在高压反应烧结过程中,合成的第二相TiB2晶粒和样品中的非晶相有效地消耗了残余应力,起到了增韧作用。     

Effects of In-substitution on the microstructure and magnetic properties of Bi-CVG ferrite with low temperature sintering

[Y_1.05Bi_0.75Ca_1.2](Fe_4.4−xIn_xV_0.6)O₁₂(In_x:Bi-CVG) ferrite material has been prepared successfully by a solid-state reaction method. The effects of In³⁺ substitution and sintering temperatures on the bulk density, microstructure and magnetic properties are performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), materials automatic test system (MATS) and microwave ferrite parameters meter. The results show that In³⁺ can lower the sintering temperatures and enhance the magnetic properties of Bi-CVG ferrite. Besides, all sintered specimens with different In³⁺ contents show a single garnet crystal structure. The specimen of [Y_1.05Bi_0.75Ca_1.2](Fe₄In_0.4V_0.6)O₁₂ sintered at 1075 °C shows homogenous distribution of grain size and densified microstructures. The ferromagnetic resonance linewidth (ΔH) has an increase with In³⁺ contents. Additionally, the sample has the optimum magnetic properties: ρ=5.23 g/cm³, B_r=31.3 mT, H_c=378.8 A/m, 4πM_s=506.2×10⁻⁴ T.     

Energy dependence of pion interferometry scales in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions

A study of energy behavior of the pion spectra and interferometry scales is carried out for the top SPS, RHIC and LHC energies within the hydrokinetic approach. The latter allows one to describe evolution of quark–gluon and hadron matter as well as continuous particle emission from the fluid in agreement with the underlying kinetic equations. The main mechanisms that lead to the paradoxical, at first sight, behavior of the interferometry scales, are exposed. In particular, a slow decrease and apparent saturation of Rout/Rside$R_{\text{<italic>out</italic>}}/R_{\text{<italic>side</italic>}}$ ratio with an energy growth happens due to a strengthening of positive correlations between space and time positions of pions emitted at the radial periphery of the system. Such en effect is a consequence of the two factors: a developing of the pre-thermal collective transverse flows and an increase of the initial energy density in the fireball.     

Preparation, characterization and luminescence properties of porous Si3N4 ceramics with Eu2O3 as sintering additive

Porous Si₃N₄ ceramics with photoluminescence properties were prepared by pressureless sintering using α-Si₃N₄ powder as raw material and Eu₂O₃ as sintering additive. Chemical composition, phase formation, microstructure and photoluminescence properties of porous Si₃N₄ ceramics were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence measurements (PL/PLE). The results show that single Eu₂O₃ additive promotes α→β transformation but not significant densification. A broad band emission center at 570 nm assigned to Eu²⁺ is observed, Eu³⁺ in Eu₂O₃ is (partially) converted to Eu²⁺ by reaction with Si₃N₄, which results in a lower β aspect ratio and β-content compared to the other Ln (Ln=lanthanide) oxide additives.     

反应气氛对不同煤灰烧结温度影响的研究

煤灰的烧结温度对流化床燃烧及气化炉的设计和运行有着很重要的作用。利用所建的压差法煤灰烧结温度测量装置,在分析了灰样放置方式对煤灰烧结温度测量影响的基础上,测量了不同反应气氛下不同煤灰的烧结温度,并获得了煤灰成分以及反应气氛对煤灰烧结特性的影响。结果表明,煤灰的酸碱比越大,其烧结温度越高,同时煤灰的含铁量增加将明显降低其烧结温度;还原性气氛下煤灰的烧结温度低于氧化性气氛下煤灰的烧结温度,而在H2气氛下,具有适当的Fe2O3、Na2O、SO3配比的煤灰容易产生低温共熔体Na2S-FeS,使得H2气氛下的烧结温度低于CO气氛下的煤灰烧结温度;典型流化床气化下煤灰的烧结温度介于CO气氛和H2气氛下煤灰烧结温度之间,并且更接近于CO气氛。
