Microstructure,mechanical and wear properties of aluminum borate whisker reinforced aluminum matrix composites

The microstructural features and the consequent mechanical properties were characterized in aluminium borate whisker (ABOw) (5, 10 and 15 wt.%) reinforced commercially-pure aluminium composites fabricated by conventional powder metallurgy technique. The aluminium powder and the whisker were effectively blended by a semi-powder metallurgy method. The blended powder mixtures were cold compacted and sintered at 600 °C. The sintered composites were characterized for microstructural features by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Porosity in the composites with variation in ABOw contents was determined. The effect of variation in content of ABOw on mechanical properties, viz. hardness, bending strength and compressive strength of the composites was evaluated. The dry sliding wear behaviour was evaluated at varying sliding distance at constant loads. Maximum flexural strength of 172 MPa and compressive strength of 324 MPa with improved hardness around HV 40.2 are obtained in composite with 10 wt.% ABOw. Further increase in ABOw content deteriorates the properties. A substantial increase in wear resistance is also observed with 10 wt.% ABOw. The excellent combination of mechanical properties of Al−10wt.%ABOw composites is attributed to good interfacial bonds, less porosity and uniformity in the microstructure.     

不同干密度尾矿料压缩特性探究

为研究不同干密度尾矿料的压缩特性,采用筛分法将尾矿料分别配制成不同干密度的尾矿砂及尾矿土,进行渗透、压缩试验。试验表明:尾矿砂的沉降主要发生在施加荷载的早期阶段,且沉降量较大。压缩模量随着干密度的增大而增大,压缩系数随着干密度的增大而减小,在相同压力增量下,尾矿土的压缩性更强。     

煤 /重油加氢共炼中SDBS对煤担载铁镍催化剂的改性效果

以广西褐煤为载体煤,铁盐和镍盐为活性组分,考察了以十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)作为表面活性剂,对沉淀-氧化法制备煤担载型铁镍催化剂(FeNi/C)的影响以及制备的催化剂在煤/重油加氢共炼中的反应性能。采用XRD和TEM分析了FeNi和FeNi-SDBS的物相组成与微观形貌变化,并以SEM-mapping手段对比了Fe元素和Ni元素在FeNi/C及FeNi-SDBS/C表面的分散效果,采用高压釜实验评价了不同催化剂的反应性能,并对反应后的固体产物采用元素分析、FTIR和SEM进行组成和结构性质研究。结果表明:SDBS的加入显著降低了催化剂的平均粒径,α/γ-FeOOH和Fe0.67Ni0.33OOH等活性相的晶体结构特征减弱,在载体煤上得到了更好的分散效果;FeNi-SDBS/C催化剂相比FeNi/C催化剂有更高的油收率和干基无灰煤转化率,催化活性明显提高;采用SDBS改性的催化剂反应后得到固体产物的n(H)∶n(C)高、脂肪链长度低、芳环取代度大、结构疏松且平均粒径小,表面改性后的FeNi-SDBS/C催化剂拥有更强的促进煤加氢转化和抑制体系缩合生焦的作用。     

干耦合超声波测试技术及其岩石动静参量测试应用

岩体非线性特征随深度增加不断凸显,其力学参量现场实时精确测量及长期监测,为地应力解除过程中岩体变化特征及应力监测提供了必要的基础。然而目前岩石力学参量测定多基于室内力学试验,时效性及拟合方法都会对测试结果带来误差。传统耦合超声波发射、接收探头对接触面平整性要求高,无法实现布置于现场钻孔内的长效监测。基于干耦合点接触声波探头测速技术,通过对声波发射、接收探头设计,电路板稳定性及去噪算法研究,研发出具有瞬时采集、无线传输功能的数字化波速采集系统。通过对同一区域取自现场加工的?50 mm×100 mm花岗岩岩样及地应力解除岩芯,分别进行室内力学试验及波速测定,以计算获取相应静态、动态弹性模量。结果表明:首先,自研发基于干耦合点接触声波测速采集系统,对不同工作接触面适应性较好,数据误差在规范允许范围内。其次,对于同一区域相同岩性不同尺度、形态的岩样,其动态、静态弹性模量关系彼此间具有适用性。这就为现场基于干耦合点接触声波测速计算获得的岩体动态弹性模量,推算其静态弹性模量提供了依据。进一步的,基于干耦合点接触声波测速数字化采集系统,岩体动、静态力学参数在现场地应力岩芯解除过程及岩体长期监测过程中的实时采集及分析研究,具有一定的可行性。     

输水状态下挖方渠道衬砌干地修复渗控方案

南水北调中线工程运行以来,发挥了巨大社会效益,沿途及京津冀地区对其调水需求日增,渠道停水检修将带来较大风险,因此面临输水状态下渠道衬砌板破坏抢修难题。部分挖方渠道衬砌板下有复杂的渗控措施,输水状态下采用围堰干地抢修渠底和较深部位的渠坡衬砌板时,需解决围堰基坑内外水位差可能带来的基坑内渠坡抗浮和渗透破坏问题。鉴于此,在渠道渗控设计及围堰布置基础上,根据“前堵后排”思想,提出一种围堰基坑“外、中、内”三防线渗控方案,即围堰基坑外围渠基透水管封堵,基坑周边安装水泵抽排。三维渗流场模拟结果表明,该方案可显著降低基坑周边衬砌板下砂垫层内水平渗透比降和基坑涌水量,能保证基坑渗流安全。研究成果可为南水北调中线输水状态下挖方渠道围堰干地抢修提供理论依据和技术支持。     

Impact of pre-treatment (soaking or germination) on nutrient and anti-nutrient contents,cooking time and acceptability of cooked red dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) grown in Ethiopia

Pulses are processed in diverse ways prior to consumption. Soaking and germination are among the most common traditional, household-level food processing strategies. This study was carried out to determine the effects of soaking, germination, cooking and their combinations on the contents of selected nutrients and anti-nutrients of red dry bean and chickpea. In addition, the effects of pre-treatment on cooking time and the acceptability of dishes prepared from red dry bean and chickpea were determined. The nutrient compositions (zinc, iron and calcium) of most soaked-cooked and germinated-cooked red dry bean and chickpea samples were not significantly different than those of respective controls. However, soaking and germination pre-treatments significantly lowered the phytate and tannin contents of the red dry bean and chickpea samples, with a few exceptions, and overall, polyphenol contents were lower after soaking-cooking than after germination-cooking. Most scores for sensory attributes of bean-based and chickpea-based dishes prepared from soaked or germinated samples were not significantly different than those of the controls. For most red dry bean and chickpea samples, longer germination times yielded superior results in terms of reductions in cooking time, tannin content, and phytate:zinc and phytate:iron molar ratio.     

Dry forming of aluminum alloys – Wear mechanisms and influencing factors

Tribological contacts in sheet metal forming are accompanied by several wear phenomena. One of which is the transfer of material from the softer sheet material to the harder tool surface, namely adhesive wear. Forming of aluminum alloys makes high demands on forming processes. Aluminum alloys show a strong tendency of adhesion on common tool materials. Adhesions on tools reduce the surface quality, the dimensional accuracy of the parts and the process stability. In order to avoid adhesive wear during forming, nowadays a high amount of lubricant is applied to the aluminum sheets. Though economically and ecologically attractive, dry forming processes with aluminum sheets seem not to be possible. In order to develop advantageous tribological systems a comprehensive understanding of the acting mechanisms is necessary. This paper discusses the influence of the alloy composition and the influence of oxide layers on the adhesive wear in aluminum forming.     

Multi-breath dry powder inhaler for delivery of cohesive powders in the treatment of bronchiectasis

A series of co-engineered macrolide–mannitol particles were successfully prepared using azithromycin (AZ) as a model drug. The formulation was designed to target local inflammation and bacterial colonization, via the macrolide component, while the mannitol acted as mucolytic and taste-masking agent. The engineered particles were evaluated in terms of their physico-chemical properties and aerosol performance when delivered via a novel high-payload dry powder Orbital^? inhaler device that operates via multiple inhalation manoeuvres. All formulations prepared were of suitable size for inhalation drug delivery and contained a mixture of amorphous AZ with crystalline mannitol. A co-spray dried formulation containing 200?mg of 50:50?w/w AZ: mannitol had 57.6%?±?7.6% delivery efficiency with a fine particle fraction (≤6.8?µm) of the emitted aerosol cloud being 80.4%?±?1.1%, with minimal throat deposition (5.3?±?0.9%). Subsequently, it can be concluded that the use of this device in combination with the co-engineered macrolide–mannitol therapy may provide a means of treating bronchiectasis.
