The oxidation of two ternary Ni-Cu-10 at.% Al alloys in 1 atm of pure O2 at 800-900 °C

The oxidation of the ternary alloys Ni-45Cu-10Al and Ni-30Cu-10Al has been studied at 800-900 °C under 1 atm O₂. The presence of 10 at.% Al reduces significantly the oxidation rate of the corresponding Cu-Ni alloys during the initial oxidation stages, even before the establishment of a complete Al₂O₃ layer. The weight of individual sample of the two ternary Ni-Cu-10Al alloys at 800 °C increases more rapidly than at 900 °C during the initial oxidation stage. As oxidation proceeds, the weight gain at 800 °C slows down to a degree that the total weight gain after 24 h oxidation at 800 °C is less than that at 900 °C. Due to a faster formation of the Al₂O₃ layer, which suppresses earlier the further oxidation of Cu and Ni, the external region of the scales grown on Ni-45Cu-10Al contain much less Cu and Ni oxides than those grown on Ni-30Cu-10Al. The transition from the internal oxidation to the selective external oxidation of the most reactive component Al in Ni-Cu-Al alloys is favored by higher values of the Al content, of temperature and of the Cu/Ni ratio.     

Quantification of the layer dispersion degree in polymer layered silicate nanocomposites by transmission electron microscopy

As the performance of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites strongly depends on their interior layer dispersion, quantification of the layer dispersion degree is needed. In this work, a new methodology was developed to determine the dispersion parameter D_0.1, based on the measurement of the free-path spacing distance between the single clay sheets from the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. Several examples of exfoliated, intercalated, and immiscible composites were studied. It was found that the exfoliated composites had D_0.1 over 8%, while that of intercalated composites were between 4 and 8%. In the case of intercalation, a high frequency peak appeared at a short spacing distance in the histogram, which was a characteristic of the intercalation, distinct from the exfoliation. The main utility of this TEM methodology is for the quantification of exfoliated or intercalated samples with small number of layers with stacks. The dispersion parameter D_0.1 below 4% was suggested to classify as immiscible. A unique advantage of the TEM measurement is that the dispersion degree of different fillers can be counted individually.     

Fire performance of wood (Pinus radiata) treated with fire retardants and a wood preservative

In this work, we co‐formulated an oil‐borne copper naphthenate/permethrin wood preservative system with synthetic polymer‐based fire‐retardant additives prior to the impregnation of Pinus radiata sapwood. We evaluated what effect, if any, the preservative had upon the fire performance properties of the fire retardants and whether the fire retardants impacted on the fungicidal and termiticidal efficacy of the preservative. The fire retardants included halogenated and phosphorus‐based systems. A mass loss calorimeter, in conjunction with a thermopile, was used to measure the time to ignition and the peak heat release rate (PHRR) from which the fire performance index (FPI) was determined. The preservative properties were evaluated using termite and soil‐block decay bioassays. In summary, we found that the rate of fire growth was reduced when the fire retardants were used in combination with the wood preservative. We also found that the PHRR was a better determinant of fire performance than the FPI. The performance of the wood preservative was enhanced against fungal decay and termite attack when used in combination with the fire retardants. The fire retardants also demonstrated some wood preservative properties of their own. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Eight mole percent yttria stabilized zirconia powders by organic precursor route

An organic precursor-mixing route has been developed for preparation of 8 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) ceramics. Polymeric salt of succinic acid with yttrium and zirconium has been prepared separately by treating sodium succinate with yttrium chloride and zirconyl chloride followed by washing with water and drying at 120 °C. Thorough mixing of the two salts in stoichiometric proportions by planetary ball milling followed by calcination at 850 °C resulted in a precursor powder containing nanocrystalline (∼40 nm) monoclinic zirconia, tetragonal YSZ, cubic YSZ and yttria. Compacts prepared after deagglomeration of powder by planetary ball milling produce 8YSZ ceramics having density 99.3% TD on sintering at 1550 °C for 2 h.

Design of the ECRH/ECCD Launcher System for HL-2A Tokamak

An ECRH/ECCD system with two 68GHz/500kW/1S gyrotrons will be built up in HL-2A tokamak. The location of the Gaussian beam waist is 580 mm away from the center of the plasmas and the beam radius is 37 mm at the center of the plasmas. Compared to the minor plasma radius （420 mm）, it is small enough for localized control. The launcher system covers a wide toroidal and poloidal steering range by the two steering plane mirrors. Therefore it is possible to explore the on- and off-axis heating over half of the plasma minor cross section and the co-current drive.     

静载荷和疲劳载荷作用下 C/Al 正交层压板的力学响应

本文讨论静载荷及疲劳载荷作用下 C/Al 正交层压板的力学响应,并考虑损伤过程中的临界现象,以此作为结构设计准则的基础。对静载荷作用的情况:(1)90°铺层的门槛应变ε_(FPF)随着约束程度增加而增加,而且开裂后的行为也受约束程度的影响。(2)经历加载-卸载再重新加载至断裂的过程后,初始试样存在一个剩余永久变形,其损伤状态可以用刚度的变化来表征;而疲劳试样在加载-卸载过程中刚度变化很小,反映其损伤达到一个稳定的状态。对疲劳载荷作用的情况:(1)对于给定的应力比 R,试样会趋于与它所承受的 S_(max)最大值相应的 SDS 状态。循环应力范围的不断增大,会引起基体损伤的增加,从而重新建立新的饱和损伤状态。(2)对于每一损伤状态均有一对应的循环应变范围 Δε。在 SDS 状态下,Δε保持不变。(3)以刚度下降为损伤参数对 C/Al 层压板进行了降级应力分析,并由此来预计在ΔS_(sh)以下,层压板不会发生疲劳损伤累积。
