Effect of substrate micro-morphology on heterogeneous nucleation

The heterogeneous nucleation process of NH4Cl crystals from a NH4Cl-70wt.%H2O solution on rough chilling substrates was considered in this paper. Scratched and etched substrates of aluminum were prepared with different surface morphologies. It was concluded that for nucleation to occur on a rough substrate surface, the wettability or the generally said roughness are not the key factors affecting the heterogeneous nucleation process. Rather the surface morphologies on the nanometer scale, which is close to the scale of the critical nucleation radius, are more important.

在电渣重熔轴承钢的过程中施加与电流方向垂直的静磁场,研究了不同电流密度和磁感应强度对轴承钢重熔锭的凝固组织、非金属夹杂物、杂质元素含量和硬度的影响。结果表明:施加的静磁场形成电磁激振效应,能够显著细化金属熔滴,提高非金属夹杂物和杂质元素的去除效率;有利于降低枝晶间距获得细晶组织,降低合金元素的偏析;提高铸锭的力学性能,因此施加静磁场是强化电渣重熔过程的重要手段。     

碳化镧锰水解氧化法制备La0.978Mn0.946O3氧化物

碳化镧锰合金在室温常压下进行水解氧化反应,洗涤并在50～80℃烘干得到La(OH)3和Mn3O4纳米粉。探讨了反应温度、反应时间、悬浮液浓度和碳化镧锰颗粒大小对晶粒尺寸的影响。优化工艺条件为:反应温度35℃,反应时间18 h,悬浮液浓度0.1 g/ml,碳化镧锰颗粒小于0.15 mm,得到比表面积为122.6 m2/g的La(OH)3和Mn3O4纳米粉。将该纳米粉分别在400、600、800℃和1 000℃煅烧2 h,最终得到晶化程度较好的La0.978Mn0.946O3氧化物。     

Zr-4合金疖状腐蚀与晶粒取向的关系

将Zr-4合金经过800 ℃/20 h热处理,用高压釜在500℃、10.3 MPa过热蒸汽中进行腐蚀实验,并采用电子背散射衍射分析( EBSD)技术研究Zr-4合金疖状腐蚀与合金基体表面晶粒取向的关系.结果表明:Zr-4合金经腐蚀后,以(-1 8 7 12)晶面为中心,面夹角在10°范围内的合金基体晶面上生长的氧化膜会发生疖状腐蚀,而在以(0001)晶面为中心,面夹角在17°范围内的晶面上生长的氧化膜不会发生疖状腐蚀.     

晶粒尺寸对（TiB2＋TiC）/Ni3Al复合材料循环氧化性能的影响（英文）

采用放电等离子烧结法制备（TiB2＋TiC）/Ni3Al复合材料。在950°C下烧结的（TiB2＋TiC）/Ni3Al复合材料的组织比在1050°C下烧结的（TiB2＋TiC）/Ni3Al复合材料的组织更细小。对烧结温度分别为950°C和1050°C的复合材料在900°C下进行循环氧化性能测试。结果表明,在950°C下烧结的复合材料的循环氧化质量损失要小于在1050°C下烧结的复合材料的。晶粒细化有助于在氧化过程汇总的选择性氧化,使得连续的TiO2和Al2O3氧化膜得以在复合材料表面形成,从而提高复合材料的抗氧化性能。

On the hydration of grain boundaries and bulk of proton conducting BaZr0.7Pr0.2Y0.1O3-δ

We report here for the first time bulk and grain boundary conductivities from impedance spectra of a ceramic proton conductor (BaZr_0.7Pr_0.2Y_0.1O_3-δ) taken during hydration and H/D isotope exchange transients (at 400 °C). The results suggest that water moves quickly along grain boundary cores, and then interact from there with the space charge layers and, in turn, grain interiors. Hydration and H/D isotope exchange have simple monotonic effects on the bulk conductivity in line with what is expected from it being dominated by protons. The transients for grain boundary conductivity exhibit however hysteresis: During hydration, the core charge and grain boundary resistance appear to go through transient minima related to non-equilibrium distributions of defects between the core and grain interior – notably because protons diffuse faster than oxygen vacancies between the grain boundary and grain interior. At equilibrium, hydration increases the core charge and the depletion of positive charge carriers in the space charge layers. During H/D isotope exchange relatively fast hysteretic transients indicate that the space charge layers experience changes in charge carrier (D⁺ vs. H⁺) mobility as well as in D₂O vs. H₂O hydration thermodynamics.     

Grain boundary transformation character in Fe-N austenite

The morphology and crystallography of the isothermal transformation of Fe-N austenite at 225 °C were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electronic microscope. Fe-N austenite was produced by through-nitriding thin pure iron sheets at 640 °C. Lath-shaped and periodically distributed (γ-austenite + γ′-Fe₄N + α-Fe) microstructures formed at the prior austenite grain boundaries, this kind of microstructure was shown to be bainite in nature and kept a Greninge-Troiano orientation relationship between the γ-austenite (γ´-Fe₄N) and α-ferrite. The formation mechanism of the grain boundary microstructure was shown to be the preferential precipitation of the proeutectoid γ′-Fe₄N at the grain boundary, followed by the transformation of the N-depleted austenite into α-ferrite and γ′-Fe₄N, thus forming a periodic γ-γ′-α-γ′-γ-γ′-α-γ′-γ-γ′ arrangement.
