Corrosion and mechanical properties of AM50 magnesium alloy after being modified by 1 wt.% rare earth element gadolinium

In order to improve the corrosion and mechanical properties of AM50 magnesium alloy, 1 wt.% Gd was used to modify the AM50 magnesium alloy. The microstructure, corrosion and mechanical properties were evaluated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS), electrochemical and mechanical stretch methods. The results indicated that β-Mg17Al12 phase decreased and Al2Gd3 and Al0.4GdMn1.6 phase existed after Gd addition. Because of the Gd addition, the grain of AM50 magnesium alloy was refined significantly, which improved the tensile strength of AM50 magnesium alloy. The decreasing of β phase improved the corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy. The fracture mechanism of the Gd modified AM50 magnesium alloy was quasi-cleavage fracture. The corrosion residual strength(CRS) of AM50 magnesium alloy was improved after 1 wt.% Gd addition.

添加Gd对烧结Nd-Fe-B永磁材料磁性能与抗蚀性的影响

选择不同Gd添加量制备了(Pr-Nd)32.4-xGdxFebalCu0.25Al0.65B1.08永磁材料,研究了Gd元素添加对材料磁性能、抗腐蚀性能的影响.添加3%的Gd显著改善材料的抗蚀性,较大幅度提高内禀矫顽力,但使剩磁略有下降;随着Gd添加量进一步增大,材料抗蚀性继续提高,剩磁明显下降,内禀矫顽力亦开始出现下降的趋势.Gd添加一定程度上细化磁体晶粒,减少显微组织中孔隙、疏松等缺陷的存在,同时Gd进入富稀土相而提高其化学稳定性而使材料性能得以提高.     

Biocompatible Nanocomplexes for Molecular Targeted MRI Contrast Agent

Accurate diagnosis in early stage is vital for the treatment of Hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of poly lactic acid–polyethylene glycol/gadolinium–diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid (PLA–PEG/Gd–DTPA) nanocomplexes using as biocompatible molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. The PLA–PEG/Gd–DTPA nanocomplexes were obtained using self-assembly nanotechnology by incubation of PLA–PEG nanoparticles and the commercial contrast agent, Gd–DTPA. The physicochemical properties of nanocomplexes were measured by atomic force microscopy and photon correlation spectroscopy. The T₁-weighted MR images of the nanocomplexes were obtained in a 3.0 T clinical MR imager. The stability study was carried out in human plasma and the distribution in vivo was investigated in rats. The mean size of the PLA–PEG/Gd–DTPA nanocomplexes was 187.9 ± 2.30 nm, and the polydispersity index was 0.108, and the zeta potential was −12.36 ± 3.58 mV. The results of MRI test confirmed that the PLA–PEG/Gd–DTPA nanocomplexes possessed the ability of MRI, and the direct correlation between the MRI imaging intensities and the nano-complex concentrations was observed (r = 0.987). The signal intensity was still stable within 2 h after incubation of the nanocomplexes in human plasma. The nanocomplexes gave much better image contrast effects and longer stagnation time than that of commercial contrast agent in rat liver. A dose of 0.04 mmol of gadolinium per kilogram of body weight was sufficient to increase the MRI imaging intensities in rat livers by five-fold compared with the commercial Gd–DTPA. PLA–PEG/Gd–DTPA nanocomplexes could be prepared easily with small particle sizes. The nanocomplexes had high plasma stability, better image contrast effect, and liver targeting property. These results indicated that the PLA–PEG/Gd–DTPA nanocomplexes might be potential as molecular targeted imaging contrast agent.

La2Ce2O7(LC) 由于具有比 YSZ 更低的热导率、 更高的热膨胀系数和良好的高温相稳定性, 是一种极具前 景的热障涂层陶瓷材料。 但该材料热膨胀系数在 200~400℃温度区间存在异常下降现象, 从而引起涂层过早失效 的问题。 目前, 通过掺杂 Gd2O3 可有效解决 LC 低温段热膨胀系数下降的问题, 但是, Gd2O3 改性 La2Ce2O7 热障 涂层最优掺杂浓度及涂层性能还未见报道。 本文采用化学共沉淀法制备了三种不同浓度 Gd2O3 改性 La2Ce2O7 材 料 ((LaxGd1-x)2Ce2O7(x=0,0.1,0.2,0.3)), 研究了掺杂浓度对其热物理性能及相稳定性的影响, 采用等离子喷涂工艺 制备了(La0.8Gd0.2)2Ce2O7 (LGC)涂层, 研究了涂层的抗热震性能和涂层的失效机理。 研究结果表明： (La0.8Gd0.2)2Ce2O7 (LGC) 材料具有较低的热导率, 室温到 1400℃无相变, 并且经 1400℃长时间热处理无相变; 其制备的双陶瓷结 构 LGC/YSZ 热障涂层 1100℃热震次数可达到 109 次, 较未改性 LC/YSZ 热障涂层提升了大约 60%; 两种涂层的 失效模式相似, 均为陶瓷顶层烧结引起的片状剥落失效。

Effect of Fe substitution on magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic Heusler alloy Ru2MnGe

The present study reveals that the correlation between the magnetic properties with composition x in the polycrystalline Ru₂Mn_1−xFe_xGe system. Hard ferromagnetic properties appeared at the intermediate composition between antiferromagnetic Ru₂MnGe with soft ferromagnetic Ru₂FeGe. Ru₂Mn_0.6Fe_0.4Ge shows an anisotropic and negative magnetoresistance (MR) effect more than 8% although the both end materials are small MR effect less than 1%. These experimental results correlate the variation in MR ratio with that of coercive field as a function of x. Moreover, the correlation is shown at the boundary of magnetism between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic. Therefore, the present experimental results imply that the coexistence of antiferromagnetic and soft ferromagnetic leads to induce the MR effect in this system.     

烧结助剂CuO对Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9性能影响的研究

采用传统的固相反应法制备了CGO(Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9)固体电解质,研究了CuO烧结助剂对CGO的体密度、相组成、微观结构及电性能的影响。结果表明,加入CuO的样品的体密度随烧结温度的升高而增大,1300℃烧结的样品致密化程度最高,当烧结温度为1350℃时,样品有过烧现象。与纯的CGO相比,CuO的加入使样品的烧结温度降低了将近300℃,而且经高温烧结后仍为立方萤石结构,无新相生成。CGO交流阻抗谱与电导率分析表明,当CuO的掺杂量为1%(摩尔分数),烧结温度为1300℃时电导率最高,所以CuO作为烧结助剂不仅降低了烧结温度,使晶粒尺寸减小,同时还提高了电导率,因而CuO是很好的烧结助剂。     

复合助烧剂对Gd2O3-UO2芯块微观结构的影响

Gd2O3-UO2可燃毒物燃料是近年来核电站采用较为普遍的可燃毒物之一。本文研究了在Gd2O3-UO2芯块中添加A12O3、TiO2、V2O5各150μg／g的复合助烧剂对芯块微观结构的影响。研究表明添加复合助烧剂后可以降低Gd2O3-UO2芯块的致密化温度．在H2气氛中，1500℃烧结4h后的Gd2O3-UO2芯块的密度可达～97％TD，芯块的闭口孔在1400～1750℃整个温度范围内一直呈下降趋势．烧结温度为1750℃时芯块中气孔数量比1600℃时减少．但单个气孔体积增大．其主要机制可能是小气孔之间发生融合。添加助烧剂后，在1400～1600℃温度之间晶粒生长速度出现不一致．部分晶粒开始迅速生长，晶粒大小分布出现双峰现象；当温度为1750℃时，晶粒大小分布为正态分布．双峰现象消失，平均晶粒尺寸约为25μm。
