Diffusional effect of pores on the densification in microgravity liquid phase sintered FE-CU alloys

OLiPSE-02 Fe-Cu samples, which were liquid phase sintered under 10 m 5 torr in microgravity for 20, 30, 60, and 330 min for each composition, were analyzed in this article. The compositions of the samples are 80% Fe/Cu, 70% Fe/Cu, 60% Fe/Cu, and 50% Fe/Cu by volume. The experimental results of distortion and densification were presented. During the microgravity processing, liquid ejection occured for the long duration samples with compositions 70% Fe/Cu and 60% Fe/Cu. Measurements of the weights and dimensions of all the beads were made and their distributions were presented. One of the beads that are about the average weight and size from the 70% Fe/Cu long duration sample was chosen to be mounted, polished, etched, and analyzed under an optical microscope. The iron in the bead appeared as iron grains and its grain size was smaller than that in the mother sample with the same composition. Discussions of the bead and its iron grain formations are provided.     

Diffusional Creep Mechanisms

Creep extension without dislocation movement across grains may be obtained in polycrystalline aggregates by diffusion through the grains (Nabarro-Herring) or through grain boundaries (Coble). These mechanisms are compared with a suggestion that creep can occur by grain-boundary sliding controlled by diffusion which can lead to movement along the boundary of grain-boundary protrusions and can be accommodated by diffusion around triple points.     

Diffusional mixing in an ideal system

A quantitative theory is presented which describes the mixing of two identical powders in a horizontal barrel mixer. It is proposed that when two components are loaded end-to-end in a simple barrel mixer, mixing can occur only by diffusion. By application of the equations of diffusion, theoretical expressions for the kinetics of the process have been derived. An experimental system has been devised for studying the mixing of essentially identical components. The progress of mixing is followed by a sampling and assaying technique which allows quite accurate determination of concentration with minimal disturbance of the charge. Excellent agreement is obtained when comparing the experimental data to the theoretical predictions.     

Supported liquid phase catalysis in selective oxidation

The application of supported liquid-phase catalysis (SLPC) to selective oxidation examples is discussed to provide valuable alternatives to the purely homogeneous or heterogenous processes. Specific examples discussed are the Wacker type ethylene oxidation on heterogenous catalysts and the vinyl acetate production by ethylene acetoxylation. The potential industrial application of SLPC for these oxidations and the possible extensions of this technology to other oxidation processes are also discussed.

Compositional identification of the intergranular phase in liquid phase sintered SiC

A model system consisting of coarse SiC (32–160 μm) as starting powder and Y₂O₃ and AlN as sintering additives was liquid phase sintered. Coarse-grained starting powder led to large intergranular phase regions which allowed an accurate determination of the chemical composition by wavelength-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (WDS). When N₂ was used as sintering atmosphere, a N-rich amorphous phase (about 44 at.% N) was identified by WDS to be the main triple-junction phase in the sintered SiC ceramics, while three further crystalline intergranular phases were AlN, Y₂SiN₄O₃ and an O-rich phase (Y₁₀Al₂Si₃O₁₈N₄). The overall O content was found to be reduced in comparison to the initial powder composition. The incorporation of N from the sintering atmosphere into the intergranular phase and a subsequent carbothermal reduction are believed to be responsible for the removal of O and the formation of the N-rich amorphous phase.

A fundamental approach in liquid phase adsorption kinetics

Liquid-solid adsorption kinetic data are mostly interpreted by a limited number of rate equations, (pseudo-first, pseudo-second order and Elovich). Besides, a fundamental tool in heterogeneous reactions, the Langmuir theory of adsorption, is used almost exclusively to model equilibrium isotherms but, surprisingly, not kinetics. Considering the limited applicability of the mentioned kinetic models, especially in estimating kinetic constants and predicting adsorption mechanism, it seems more reasonable to apply the Langmuir kinetic equation in modeling the liquid phase adsorption. In the diffusion-free regime, by constructing the experimental equilibrium isotherm of a system, one can easily check the validity of the Langmuir model. Afterwards, kinetic constants can be readily calculated and used to predict adsorption performance under different operating conditions. The proposed procedure was tested in the experimental results of cyanide adsorption in activated carbon to verify the applicability of the Langmuir adsorption mechanism and estimate the equilibrium and kinetic constants.     

Micro-segregations in liquid phase sintered silicon carbide ceramics

The densification behaviour of LPSSiC ceramics with different amount of secondary phases was investigated during Field Assisted Sintering (FAST). In the densified materials micro-segregations were found with dimensions of several 100 μm. Sometimes such segregations were found in gas pressure sintered materials. The investigation of the state of crystallisation by EBSD and XRD revealed that these micro-segregations are connected with the formation of large YAG (Yttrium aluminium garnet) crystals. The mobility of yttrium in the grain boundaries was investigated by measuring concentration profiles in diffusion couples. The high diffusion coefficient determined at 1850 °C (10^?6 cm/s) indicates that the observed segregations are caused by the crystallisation kinetics of the secondary phases during cooling.     

Theory of liquid phase dispersion in packed columns

Dispersion in the liquid phase for trickle or two-phase flow in packed columns has two important contributions, local dispersion in the packing, and axial dispersion due to the differences in liquid flow conditions between the wall and bulk regions of packing. A three-dimensional axisymmetric formulation of dispersion within the column is analysed and compared to a one-dimensional formulation in the axial co-ordinate. It is shown that the one-dimensional formulation is correct for the limit of long dispersion times. For other times the coefficient for total dispersion within the column is found to be a function of local dispersion, differences in flow between the wall and bulk regions, and dispersion time. An analytical relationship is given between the coefficient for total dispersion, and contributing factors, in local dispersion and column flows.

Solidification structure in pure zirconia liquid molten phase

Up to now few studies concerning the crystallographic features of zirconia materials (HZ) used as refractory material have been performed. The elaboration process through raw material fusion followed by a controlled cooling step lead to a material containing 94 wt.% of dendritic monoclinic zirconia. During cooling, ZrO₂ passes through three different structural phase transitions (SPTs), inducing formation of a complex microstructure made of different crystallographic domains called variants. This study focus on formation of these different monoclinic variants in a non-doped zirconia based material and the possibility to reconstruct initial cubic parent crystals formed at high temperature using optical microscopy and Electron Back Scattering Diffraction (EBSD). EBSD experiments allow to identify 24 monoclinic variants issued from tetragonal parent crystal and to highlight the contours of the parent cubic crystal. Then, the microstructure appearing during the first steps of the solidification of the material can be evidenced.

Diffusional Creep and Kinetic Demixing in Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia

The creep behavior of fine-grained yttria-stabilized zirconia with 25 mol% Y₂O₃ has been characterized as part of an investigation of kinetic demixing in solid-solution oxides which are subjected to a nonhydrostatic state of stress. At temperatures between 1400° and 1600°C, the steady-state strain rate of (Zr_0.6Y_0.4)O_1.8 samples with average grain sizes between 2.5 and 14.5 μm can be summarized by the flow law ɛ= 6.5 × 10⁻⁷σ^1.2 exp[−550 (kJ/mol)/ RT ] d ^−2.2 (s⁻¹) for stresses in the range 8 to 60 MPa, where σ is in pascals and d is in meters. This flow law indicates that deformation occurs by a Nabarro-Herring creep mechanism in which the creep rate is limited by cation lattice diffusion. Kinetic demixing was not observed in deformed polycrystalline samples even though diffusional creep was rate limited by cation lattice diffusion. This result can be explained if the cation diffusivities are approximately equal or if extensive grain rotation occurs during diffusional creep.
