贵州三穗地区钒矿地质特征及成矿规律研究

总结贵州省三穗地区钒矿矿区地层、区域构造和区域岩浆岩特征，探讨矿区钒矿成矿规律。研究表明：区内钒矿赋存在陡山沱组白云岩的上部以及老堡组和九门冲组的下部，含矿岩性为黑色炭质黏土岩；成矿来源主要是由于海底裂谷的热气流作用，携带深部钒等多金属元素向陆棚与台地运动、迁移，出现钒的横向分导现象；沉积下来的钒金属又在后期低温热液作用下，以水云母的形式存在，而炭质吸附的部分钒元素进入水云母晶格中，形成钒矿。     

双相不锈钢表面激光熔覆钴基合金组织和性能研究

目的提高2205双相不锈钢的耐磨性和耐腐蚀性能。方法采用激光熔覆技术,在2205双相不锈钢基体表面制备钴基合金熔覆层。用X射线衍射仪、光学显微镜检测钴基合金熔覆层的相组成和显微组织,用能谱仪测定熔覆层和基体界面区域的Fe和Cr元素分布,确定熔覆层界面过渡区域的宽度。用显微硬度计和湿砂磨粒磨损试验机,测试熔覆层硬度和耐磨性能。采用扫描电镜观察摩擦表面的磨损特性,分析钴基合金熔覆层的磨损机理。用电化学工作站测试熔覆层的电化学腐蚀特性,并用2205双相不锈钢作为对比试样做相应的性能试验。结果熔覆层由γ-Co固溶体和少量的Cr7C3、Cr2Ni3化合物相组成,界面处的熔覆层相组织是少量的平面晶和胞状晶,其他区域是发达的树枝晶。由于熔覆层由多道搭接和多层熔覆形成,树枝晶生长有方向性,但不是成固定的方向,并出现明显的分层现象。熔覆层过渡区范围为50μm左右,熔覆层平均显微硬度达477HV(0.1),远高于2205双相不锈钢基体(265HV(0.1))。当磨程达到3354m时,熔覆层的质量损失仅为10.3 mg,约为基体质量损失的1/3。在3.5%NaCl溶液中,熔覆层具有较高的极化电阻与电荷转移电阻和较小的自腐蚀电流。结论熔覆层组织致密,无气孔、裂纹等缺陷,与基体呈良好的冶金结合,钴基合金熔覆层具有良好的耐磨粒磨损性能和耐腐蚀性能。     

Temperature Effects on the Microstructures of Mg-Gd-Y Alloy Processed by Multi-direction Impact Forging

A high strain rate multi-directional impact forging(MDIF) was applied to a solutionized Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy in the temperature range of 350-500℃.Results demonstrate that the dominant deformation mode is twinning at a temperature below 400℃,whereas at a medium temperature of 450℃ considerable continuous dynamic recrystallization was promoted by{10-12} extension twins.At a higher temperature of 500℃,twinning activation was suppressed.New DRX grains were observed but their sizes were much bigger than those resulting from the MDIFed 50 passes at 450℃,which are ascribed to the larger grain boundary mobility and atomic diffusion at 500℃.Moreover,a non-basal weak texture was gained afterward MDIF at each temperature,which is credited to the MDIF process and the minor strain applied in each pass.     

Silica based hybrid organic-inorganic materials for PEMFC application

It is of key importance to develop membrane assembly electrodes (MEAs) offering high conductivity, thermal stability and suitable performance in the fuel cell. The mesoporous materials functionalized with acid groups are appropriate candidates to improve membrane's properties. The goal of this work was to assess the addition of functionalized porous silica, bearing different acid groups, on the MEA performance in a PEM type single fuel cell. Ni₅₉Nb₄₀Pt_0.6Fe_0.4 -based amorphous alloys were applied as anode electrocatalysts. The synthesis of functionalized mesoporous silica (UGM-fx) with different acid groups, namely [SO₃H], [COOH] and [PO(OH)₂], was carried out following a nonaqueous sol gel method. The results showed that the MEA containing silica with PO(OH)₂ groups leads to an outstanding fuel cell performance compared to that of the other organic groups-based MEAs and that it outperformed a commercial Pt-based sample. This might be due to the higher proton conductivity exhibited by the phosphonic groups.     

Evaluation of Ca-doped BaZrO3 as the crucible refractory for melting TiAl alloys

In this study, a new Ca-doped BaZrO₃ refractory was designed by using thermodynamics approaches and tested for its applicability for vacuum induction melting (VIM) of TiAl alloys. The influence of CaO on the BaZrO₃ phase constitution and microstructure, as well as the key features of the TiAl melt interaction with the Ca-doped BaZrO₃ crucibles were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results revealed that the Ca-doped BaZrO₃ refractory consisted of Ba_1-xCa_xZrO₃ and CaO phases. An obvious interaction occurred during the melting of the TiAl alloy in the Ca-doped BaZrO₃ crucible along with the generation of BaAl₂O₄ as a reaction product, with formation of a reaction layer up to 5?µm thick. Dissolution of Ca-doped BaZrO₃ refractory in the TiAl melt was the main reason for the alloy-crucible reaction. Moreover, the Ca-doped BaZrO₃ crucible was found to substantially reduce the contamination of the TiAl alloy, with lower oxygen concentration as compared with other conventional oxide crucibles. Overall results confirmed that vacuum induction melting using the Ca-doped BaZrO₃ refractory can be considered as an appropriate method for the fabrication of TiAl alloys.     

Extraction of Vanadium(V) from Mixed Chloride/Thiocyanate Solutions with Two Commercial Solvating Extractants

Studies on the extraction and separation of vanadium(V) from mixed hydrochloric acid/ammonium thiocyanate solution with CYANEX 921 and CYANEX 925 in kerosene were carried out. The effects of various factors affecting the extraction process as well as temperature were investigated. Addition of thiocyanate to the chloride solution was found to enhance markedly the extraction of vanadium. HCl solution efficiently stripped V(V). The number of stages required for extraction and stripping of vanadium ions was determined from the McCabe–Thiele diagram. Based on the obtained results, the separation of V(V) from spent catalyst leach indicates the efficiency of the proposed process.     

Effect of intermetallics on susceptibility of Mg alloy welds to liquation cracking

ABSTRACT

The circular-patch welding test was used to study the liquation and liquation cracking of AZ-series Mg alloys. A heat treatment was carried out on the as-received AZ91 alloy to dissolve the γ(Mg₁₇Al₁₂) particles before welding. The circular-patch welding test was then conducted on the heat-treated, as-received AZ91 alloy using AZ61 and AZ91 filler wires. The results showed that the susceptibility of AZ91 alloy to liquation and liquation cracking was significantly reduced by the dissolution of massive γ(Mg₁₇Al₁₂) particles via a heat treatment before welding as the liquation mechanism was changed. Both constitutional liquation and incipient melting occurred in the partially melted zone of the as-received AZ91 welds, while only incipient melting occurred in the heat-treated AZ91 welds.     

Anomalous crystal structure of γ" phase in the Mg-RE-Zn(Ag) series alloys:Causality clarified by ab initio study

The crystal structure of the single-unit-cell thickness γ " phase,as a key strengthening phase in Mg-REZn(Ag) series alloys,has been extensively studied,and several structural models have been proposed in the past two decades.However,these reported models,and even the lattice constants at the same proposed structure,are scattered severely,which has led to considerable confusion and not available for further mechanical property simulation and prediction of Mg alloys containing this phase.In this study,by using first-principles calculations,the crystal structure of y" phase is clarified,resolving the discrepancies among different experiments,and its intrinsic mechanical properties have also been studied for the first time.It is verified that the γ " phase contains quasi-five atomic layers,instead of the previously reported tri-layer,and surprisingly,its crystal structure has many variants,which would change with the alloy composition.Besides,with the help of the simulated selected area electron diffraction(SAED) patterns,it is found that the atoms in the central layer remain partially ordered distribution,and this ordered extent primarily depends on the atomic ratio of RE:Zn(Ag) and the solute content in an alloy.That is,the ordered extent increases with decreasing the atomic ratio of RE:Zn(Ag) and/or increasing solute content of alloy,and vice versa.Ag and Zn dissolved in the γ" phase would produce almost opposed mechanical anisotropy for the γ " phase under the identical crystal structure,and the addition of Ag shows more efficient on increasing the shear modulus of γ" phase.
