Comparative Study on Thermodynamical and Electrochemical Behavior of Al（88）Ni6La6 and Al（86）Ni6La6Cu2 Amorphous Alloys

Two amorphous ribbons with the compositions of Al88Ni6La6 and Al86Ni6La6Cu2 were made using the melt-spun method,and their thermal response and electrochemical behavior were studied comparatively.Differential scanning calorimetry（DSC）and electrochemical polarization measurements indicated that Al86Ni6La6Cu2 exhibited slightly higher crystallization temperature（Tx）,lower melting point（Tl）and better corrosion resistance in 0.01 mol·L-1 NaCl alkaline solution.These results demonstrated that Cu（2%）addition could slightly promote the glass forming ability,but it could greatly improve the corrosion resistance of Al88Ni6La6 alloy in 0.01 mol·L-1 NaCl alkaline solution.     

Ti-Y2O3 Composites with Nanocrystalline and Microcrystalline Matrix

Mechanical milling of a Ti-2 pct Y₂O₃ powders mixture led to the synthesizing of a composite powder with a nanocrystalline Ti matrix having a mean crystallite size of 19 nm. Both the nanocomposite powder prepared through milling and the initial mixture of powders were consolidated by hot pressing under the pressure of 7.7 GPa at the temperature of 1273 K (1000 °C). The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations of the bulk sample produced from milled powder revealed that Y₂O₃ equiaxial particles of less than 30 nm in size are distributed uniformly in the Ti matrix with a grain size in the wide range from 50 nm to 200 nm. The microhardness of the produced nanocrystalline material is 655 HV0.2, and it significantly exceeds the hardness of the microcrystalline material (the consolidated initial mixture of powders), which is equal to 273 HV0.2. This finding confirms that reducing the grain size to the nanometric level can have a beneficial influence on the hardness of titanium alloys. Dispersion hardening also contributes to the hardness increase.     

Synthesis of Al2O3/TiCN-0.2%Y2O3 Composite by Hot Pressing

Al2O3/TiCN composites were synthesized by hot pressing.The influences of components and HP temperature on mechanical properties,such as bending strength,breaking tenacity and Vickers hardness were investigated.The results showed that the mechanical properties of Al2O3/TiCN composite increased with temperature when hot pressing temperature is below 1650 ℃.The mechanical properties reached their maximums when the composites were sintered at 1650 ℃ for 30 min under hot pressing pressure of 35 MPa,the value of bending strength,breaking tenacity and Vickers hardness was 1015 MPa,6.89 MPa·m1/2,and 20.82 MPa,respectively.When hot pressing temperature was above 1650 ℃,density decreased because of decomposition with increased temperature,and mechanical properties dropped because of rapid growth of grains in size at high temperature.Microstructure analysis showed that the addition of Y2O3 led to the formation of YAG phase so as to inhibit the growth of crystals.This helped to improve breaking tenacity of the composites.TiCN particles with diameters of 1 μm dispersed at Al2O3 grain boundaries,inhibited grain growth and enhanced mechanical properties of the composites.SEM study of the propagation of indentation cracks showed that the bridge linking behavior between matrix and strengthening phase might lead to the formation of the coexisted field of crack deflection,branching and bridge linking.The mechanism of this phenomenon was that the addition of Y2O3 improved the dispersion of TiCN particles so as to enhance the tenacity of the composites.The breaking tenacity was changed from 5.94 to 6.89 MPa·m1/2.

Study on thermal expansion behavior of Dy2O3 - Al2O3 - SiO2 glass

Employing Dy2O3, Al2O3, and SiO2 as starting materials, several series of Dy2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 sealing glass were prepared. The relationship between their coefficients of thermal expansion and the contents of Dy2O3, Al2O3, and SiO2 were studied respectively. Experimental results showed that Dy2O3 and Al2O3 had a positive effect on the coefficient of thermal expansion of glass, whereas, SiO2 had a negative effect. The coefficient of thermal expansion of glass showed an apparent linear relation to the contents of these three raw materials, from which an estimation model was built, to calculate the coefficient of thermal expansion of sealing glass. Relative errors of the calculating results to testing results were no more than 2%, which suggested that the estimation model was reasonable. This study provides a good theory reference for the practical utilizing of this sealing material, through which a proper glass composition for good sealing could be easily found.     

Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2/V2O5 Composite Catalyst Doped with Rare Earth Ions

Effect of annealing treatment on the anti-pulverization and anti-corrosion properties of La0.67Mg0.33Ni2.5Co0.5 hydrogen storage alloy

The La0.67Mg0.33Ni2.5Co0.5 hydrogen storage alloy was prepared by the vacuum intermediate frequency induction furnace followed by annealing treatment. The pulverization degree of both the as-cast and annealed alloy powders after gaseous hydriding and dehydriding cycle was investigated and the discovery was that annealing treatment could hardly ameliorate their anti-pulverization ability. The element content of La, Mg, Ni and Co existing in electrolyte before and after the electrochemical cycles by using ICP-AES technology was also analyzed and it showed that a large amount of La and Mg were dissolved in the electrolyte, but the amount of dissolution for La and Mg significantly declined when the alloy was annealed. The XRD analysis revealed that all the alloys consisted of two main phases AB3 and AB2 and a residual phase AB5 while annealing treatment made the AB2 phase decrease slightly. Furthermore, the anti-corrosion abilities of various elements in different phases of the as-cast and annealed alloy samples were studied by analyzing the element(La, Mg, Ni, Co) change with the corrosion time in phases AB3 and AB2 by means of EDS. It turned out that the element of La was mainly corroded out from the phase AB2 while not easily from the phase AB3. However, the element of Mg was both easily corroded out from the phases AB2 and AB3, but the corrosion was more obvious in the phase AB3. Therefore, annealing improved the anti-corrosion performances of La and Mg in the phase AB2.     

Effect of annealing temperature on microstructure and electrochemical performance of La0.75Mg0.25Ni3.5Co0.2 hydrogen storage electrode alloy

To improve the cyclic stability of La-Mg-Ni system alloy, as-cast La0.75Mg0.25Ni3.5Co0.2 alloy was annealed at 1123, 1223, and 1323 K for 10 h in 0.3 MPa argon. The microstructure and electrochemical performance of different annealed alloys were investigated systematically by X-Ray Diffraction （XRD）, Scanning Electron Microscopy （SEM）, X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy （XPS）, and electrochemical experiments. The results obtained by XRD and SEM showed that the as-cast and annealed （1123 K） alloys had multiphase structure containing LaNis, （La, Mg）2（Ni, Co）7 and few LaNi2 phases. When annealing temperatures approached 1223 and 1323 K, LaNi2 phase disappeared. The annealed alloys at 1223 and 1323 K were composed of LaNi5, （La, Mg）2（Ni, Co）7 and （La, Mg）（Ni, Co）3 phases. With increasing annealing temperature, the maximum discharge capacity of the alloy decreased monotonously, but the cyclic stability was improved owing to structure homogeneity and grain growth after annealing, as well as the enhancement of anti-oxidation/corrosion ability and the suppression of pulverization during cycling in KOH electrolyte.
