Effect of thermal insulation on microstructural homogeneity and onset temperature of flash sintered materials

The present work aimed to reduce the microstructure heterogeneity inherent to flash sintering by using alumina blankets as a thermal insulator around ZnO cylindrical samples during the sintering process, under different electric field conditions. Thermal insulation significantly reduced the flash onset temperature and the grain size heterogeneity. For higher electric fields, a temperature reduction as high as 480 °C was observed, which also led to lower densification. These findings were discussed in terms of changes in the heat loss dynamics coupled with the adsorbed water retention, both promoted by the applied thermal insulation. A model to estimate the temperature at stage III of flash sintering was proposed. The final temperature reached with thermal insulation did not differ significantly from the ones without it. Thus, thermal insulation could represent an alternative route to flash sinter materials with lower furnace temperatures with energy savings up to 78 % and a more homogeneous microstructure.     

FE approach and experiments for an axisymmetric micro-yoke part forming using grain element and grain boundary element

Until present, an axisymmetric yoke part of electro-magnetic micro-speaker/receiver had manufactured by machining through the material’s removal. However, this machining process have some problems such as long production time, high precision of tool and costs. In this study, a program based on finite element method developed to establish milli-structure forming technology for micro-yoke component, one of the key parts in the multi-functioned micro-speaker/receiver. This developed program is applied for the milli-part forming in order to replace the machining process of micro-yoke. A new numerical approach is proposed to simulate intergranular milli-structure in forming the miniature yoke, in which grain elements and grain boundary elements are introduced. The results of the finite element analysis for micro-yoke part are confirmed by a series of experiments.     

HPb59-1黄铜变质细化晶粒组织的热稳定性

对微量B变质细化的HPb59—1黄铜晶粒组织在热加工温度范围保温时晶粒长大情况，以及添加微量Zr对它的稳定作用进行了试验研究。结果表明，热加工温度下材料内部正常晶粒长大不会使其丧失变质细化效果，晶粒仍比无变质细化的铸棒细得多。然而在较长时间或较高温度下材料出现了始于表面、迅速向心部推进的反常晶粒长大，晶粒粗化至mm级。微量Zr的加入对变质细化效果和正常晶粒长大速率的影响都不大，然而有效地抑制了上述反常晶粒长大。
