Two-phase microstructure in Pr-(Fe, Co, Ni)-B sintered magnets

A search was carried out for a two-phase sintered magnet comprising Pr₂TM₁₄B and PrTM, where TM stands for Fe, Co and Ni. Specimens were prepared by a powder metallurgical method using alloys with compositions Pr₁₇(Fe_0.6Co_0.3Ni_0.1)₈₃−_χB_χ (x = 4, 5 and 6). X-Ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy—energy-dispersive X-ray studies have revealed that two-phase magnets are realized for Pr₁₇(Fe_0.6Co_0.3Ni_0.1)₇₈B₅. The microstructures of these sintered magnets are characterized by Pr₂TM₁₄B grains surrounded by an intergranular Ni-rich PrTM phase whose thickness is less than about 3 μ.     

Peculiarities of the R3(Fe,Si)29 phase formation in the Sm---Fe---Si system

The phase content of the Sm(Fe_1−xSi_x)_y alloys (0.05≤x≤0.15; 8.5≤y≤12) has been studied by X-ray diffraction using micromonocrystals. The compounds Sm₂(Fe,Si)₁₇, Sm(Fe,Si)₁₂ and a novel Sm₃(Fe,Si)₂₉ compound with a monoclinic unit cell are found. The lattice parameters of Sm₃(Fe,Si)₂₉ are: a=1.056 nm, b=0.850 nm, c=0.966 nm, β=96.8°. This compound forms as a result of a solid state transformation from the high-temperature Sm₂(Fe,Si)₁₇ phase. Diffuse effects observed in rocking photographs suggest transition structures arising from this transformation. The Curie temperatures of Sm₃(Fe,Si)₂₉ vary in the interval 496–521 K.     

Electrochemical behaviour assessment of novel Mg-rich Mg–Al–RE alloys (RE = Ce, Er)

The electrochemical behaviour of new Mg–Al–RE (RE = Ce, Er) alloys AE91 was investigated in 0.01 M NaCl electrolyte (pH = 12) and compared with that of the most commonly used Mg alloy in the automotive field, the AZ91D. Scanning electron microscopy and quantitative electron probe microanalysis were used to characterize the samples prior to the electrochemical tests. AE91 alloys showed very similar microstructures characterized by a three-phase appearance: a Mg-based solid solution containing only Al and two intermetallic phases γ(Mg₁₇Al₁₂) and (Al_1 − xMg_x)₃Ce or (Al_1 − xMg_x)₂Er. Free corrosion potential measurements, potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed improved passivity behaviour compared to AZ91D alloy. The apparent presence of trace amounts of rare earth oxides in the passive film is presumed to be the reason for the enhanced corrosion resistance of AE91 alloys in the aggressive environment considered.     

温度对X70钢在高pH值溶液中腐蚀行为的影响

采用动电位极化、电化学阻抗谱技术、Mott-Schottky等测试方法,研究了温度对X70钢在高pH值溶液 (0.5 mol/L Na₂CO₃+0.5 mol/L NaHCO₃) 中钝化膜性能和电化学腐蚀行为的影响。结果表明：随着温度升高,X70管线钢的点蚀电位降低,维钝电流密度和钝化膜的极化电阻减小。在实验温度范围内,钝化膜为Fe₂O₃和Fe₃O₄的混合物,半导体类型为n型半导体,且不随温度升高而改变。但是随着温度的升高,钝化膜缺陷密度增加,膜厚度减小,腐蚀倾向增大。因此,温度升高会降低钝化膜的稳定性,导致其保护作用下降。     

Revealing a Transformation-Induced Plasticity (TRIP) Phenomenon in a Medium-Entropy Alloy

A transformation-induced plasticity phenomenon in Fe₆₅(CoCrMnNi)₃₅ medium-entropy alloy was investigated. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns, the as-cast specimen contains a single-phase face-centered cubic (fcc), while low-temperature annealing at 500 °C and 600 °C leads to the introduction of a body-centered cubic (bcc) phase as a secondary phase. Further increment of the annealing temperature to above 700 °C eliminates the bcc phase, and the microstructure was found to contain a single-phase fcc. At 20% true strain, an fcc-to-bcc phase transformation is observed; whereas, at 28% true strain, an fcc-to-hcp phase transformation takes place as an additional deformation mechanism. This strain-induced phase transformation phenomenon leads to improved tensile properties of this alloy.     

347不锈钢在硝酸熔盐中的腐蚀行为研究

通过2000 h浸泡实验,研究了347不锈钢在565 ℃下硝酸熔盐 (60%NaNO₃+40%KNO₃) 中的静态腐蚀行为。采用增重法测量347不锈钢在不同时段的重量变化,得到材料的腐蚀动力学曲线,利用XRD、SEM/EDS对347不锈钢表面及横截面腐蚀产物形貌、成分和结构进行分析,并讨论相关腐蚀机理。结果表明,347不锈钢在565 ℃下硝酸熔盐中的腐蚀表现为增重,前300 h腐蚀速率很快,300 h后腐蚀速率逐渐减缓。随着腐蚀时间延长,其表面氧化层中的尖晶石形状逐渐由针状和片状转变为块状,2000 h时基本全部趋于块状。腐蚀达到2000 h时,347不锈钢的外层腐蚀产物厚度均匀且较疏松,并且出现一定程度的开裂,由Fe₂O₃和NaFeO₂组成;内层腐蚀产物厚度不均匀且较致密,主要为 (Fe,Cr)₃O₄。     

钼酸钠和三乙醇胺对Q235碳钢小孔腐蚀的抑制作用

通过动电位扫描,微区电位扫描,电化学阻抗谱及XPS等技术,考察了Na₂MoO₄和三乙醇胺 (TEA) 复配缓蚀剂对Q235碳钢孔蚀的抑制作用。结果表明：Q235碳钢在0.02 mol/L NaCl+0.1 mol/L NaHCO₃溶液中,适量的Na₂MoO₄与TEA复配对其孔蚀的抑制作用要优于单独使用Na₂MoO₄对孔蚀的抑制效果。在外加恒电位为0.3 V时,在实验溶液中碳钢表面有活性点被激活,Na₂MoO₄+TEA复配缓蚀剂能够明显抑制表面活性点的生成,并且能使形成的活性点的电位峰值迅速降低,抑制其向腐蚀小孔的转化。在加有Na₂MoO₄+TEA复配缓蚀剂的实验溶液中形成的缓蚀膜主要成分为Fe₂(MoO₄)₃,Fe₂O₃和TEA,三乙醇胺的吸附可以改善钼酸盐缓蚀膜的致密性,进一步提高缓蚀性能。     

Influence of HDDR treatment on magnetic properties of TbFe2- and DyFe2-based intermetallics

Magnetic properties of TbFe₂, DyFe₂, Tb(Fe_0.8M_0.2)₂ and Dy(Fe_0.8M_0.2)₂ with M=Co, Al, Si, Ga alloys affected by the Hydrogenation-Decomposition-Desorption-Recombination processing have been studied. After hydrogen treatment the coercive force H_c grows sharply, so HDDR-powders can be used as isotropic permanent magnets with the energy product up to 26 MG Oe at T=77 K. In Dy(Fe_0.8Al_0.2)₂ at T<10 K the stepwise magnetic reversal has been observed. The HDDR-treatment increases the critical field of magnetic reversal from 11 up to 18.4 kOe at 4.2 K. It is shown that the effect of the stepwise magnetic reversal is caused by a heat release in a sample during an avalanche motion of narrow domain walls.     

气体渗氮对F92钢在700 ℃空气中氧化行为的影响

利用扫描电镜(SEM)、能谱分析(EDS)、X射线衍射分析(XRD)研究了F92钢供货态和渗氮后在700 ℃静态空气中的高温氧化行为,阐述了气体渗氮对F92钢氧化行为的影响。研究表明,渗氮后F92钢表面形成了氮的过饱和膨胀铁素体相和CrN相。供货态F92钢表面生成了薄且致密的(Cr, Fe, Mn)₂O₃和MnCr₂O₄氧化层,具有良好的保护性。此外,供货态F92钢表面有两种瘤状氧化物生成,一种由连续的Fe₂O₃构成,另一种独立的由外层Fe₂O₃和内层富Cr的(Cr, Fe, Mn)₃O₄组成。渗氮加剧了F92钢的氧化,基体内部观察到了内氧化区。渗氮试样表面氧化膜呈双层结构,其中,外层为Fe₂O₃,内层为富Cr的Fe-Cr氧化物。F92钢渗氮过程中形成的膨胀氮过饱和铁素体相和CrN相以及氧化过程中析出的CrN沉淀相降低了铬的活性,阻碍了有保护性的富铬氧化物的生成,从而导致抗氧化性能的下降。     

Structural, magnetic and magnetostrictive studies of Tb0.27Dy0.73(Fe1 − xAlx)2

Measurements of magnetic properties, X-ray diffraction and magnetostriction were made on Tb_0.27Dy_0.73(Fe_{1 − x}Al_x)₂ (x = 0.1, 0.2, …, 0.7) compounds. It was found that the system has the cubic MgCu₂ structure over almost the whole (Fe,Al) concentration range investigated, except for a narrow intermediate range (x = 0.4–0.6) where the hexagonal MgZn₂ structure appears. With increasing Al content x, the lattice constant a increases linearly with x. The first replacement of Fe results in a marked decrease in the Curie temperature, which is followed by a slight decrease in T_C with x. A linear decrease in magnetostriction of |λ_| − λ| at room temperature with x was also observed from 1530 × 10⁻⁶ for x=0 to 36×10⁻⁶ for x=0.3. The saturation magnetization σ_s exhibits a complex concentration dependence in the Tb_0.27Dy_0.73(Fe)_{1 − x}Al_x)₂ system: in the range x < 0.5, σ_s increases linearly with x and, for x = 0.5–0.6, σ_s decreases and then increases again. An enhancement of the magnetic ‘hardness’ in this system was also observed at low temperature.     

(FeCoNiCr)100-x Mnx高熵合金在NaCl和NaOH溶液中的抗腐蚀性能

研究了放电等离子烧结(FeCoNiCr)_100-xMn_x(x=4,8,12,20)高熵合金的组织结构及在NaCl和NaOH溶液中的耐腐蚀性能。结果表明,(FeCoNiCr)_100-xMn_x合金主要由FCC单相组织和少量BCC相组成。(FeCoNiCr)₈₈Mn₁₂合金在3.5wt%NaCl 溶液中具有最好的耐腐蚀性能。Mn的添加使合金在1 mol NaOH 溶液中耐腐蚀性增强。退火对合金在1 mol NaOH 溶液中抗腐蚀性能影响不大。(FeCoNiCr)_100-xMn_x合金在3.5wt%NaCl溶液和1 mol NaOH溶液中的抗腐蚀性能均优于304S不锈钢。     

Synthesis and crystal structure of iron(III) selenate(IV) trihydrate, Fe2(SeO3)3 • 3H2O

The crystal structure of iron(III) selenate(IV) trihydrate, Fe₂(SeO₃)₃ • 3H₂O, space group R3c, a = 9.360(1) Å, C = 20.297(2) Å, V = 1539.98 ų, Z = 6, was determined by single-crytal X-ray diffraction methods, 926 unique data, measured up to 2θ = 70° (Mo K radiation); R, R(I)w = 0.034, 0.088. Fe₂(SeO₃)₃ • 3H₂O is isotypic with the analogues Al, Ga and Cr compounds and was synthesized under moderate hydrothermal conditions.     

Crystal structures and structural relationships of KFe2(SeO2OH)(SeO3)3 and SrCo2(SeO2OH)2(SeO3)2

The new phases KFe₂(SeO₂OH)(SeO₃)₃ and SrCo₂(SeO₂OH)₂(SeO₃)₂ have been synthesized under low-hydrothermal conditions and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray methods. Both compounds are monoclinic; KFe₂(SeO₂OH)(SeO₃)₃: space group P2, A = 9.983(4), B = 5.270(1), C = 10.614(4) Å, β = 97.42(2)°, V = 553.7 ų, Z = 2; SrCo₂(SeO₂OH)₂(SeO₃)₂: space group P2ln, A = 14.984(2), B = 5.286(1), C = 13.790(2) Å, β = 94.72(1)°, V = 1088.5 ų , Z = 4. The refinements converged to R-values of 2.9 and 3.6% respectively.

The atomic arrangement in KFe₂(SeO₂OH)(SeO₃)₃ and SrCo₂(SeO₂OH)₂(SeO₃)₂ is based on isolated MO₆ octahedra (M = Fe³⁺, Co²⁺), which are corner-linked via trigonal pyramidal selenite groups to a framework structure. Interstitials are occupied by potassium or strontium atoms in ten- or eight-coordination respectively, and by the lone-pair electrons of the Se⁴⁺ atoms. Both compounds are not isotypic but are closely related and may be interpreted as different distortions of an idealized structure type in space group P2/m, which was modelled for a theoretical compound SrFe₂(SeO₃)₄ by distance least squares refinement (program ).     

Corrosion Behavior of Epoxy-Coated Rebar with Pinhole Defect in Seawater Concrete

Experiments were carried out to investigate the corrosion behavior of epoxy-coated rebar(ECR) with pinhole defect(diameter in hundreds of microns) immersed in the uncarbonated/carbonated simulated pore solution(SPS) of seawater concrete. Corrosion behavior was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The composition and morphology of corrosion products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy. Meanwhile, oxide film produced by preheating before spray coating was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Mott–Schottky technology. Results indicated that corrosion behavior of ECR with pinhole defect exhibited three stages when immersed in the uncarbonated/carbonated SPS. In the initial stage, steel in defect was passivated when exposed in the uncarbonated SPS and corroded when exposed in the carbonated SPS, due to competitive adsorption between chloride and hydroxyl ions. In the second stage, the oxide film under coating reconstituted(the thickness and defects density decreasing) in the uncarbonated SPS, which was caused by the synergy between high hydroxide and chloride activity, while in the carbonated SPS, crevice corrosion happened under the coating around pinhole,because of the different oxygen concentrations cell at the coating/steel interface. In the third stage, localized corrosion occurred under the coating around the pinhole in the uncarbonated SPS, which was probably induced by ion diffusion at the nano-scale coating/steel interface. The corrosion products adjacent to the defects were re-oxidized from FeCl_2·4H_2O and Fe_2(OH)_3Cl to Fe_2O_3·H_2O, and the corrosion area was expanded outward in the carbonated SPS.     

Hydrogen disproportionation by reactive milling and recombination of Nd2(Fe1−xCox)14B alloys

Stoichiometric Nd₂(Fe_1−xCo_x)₁₄B alloys (x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1) have been disproportionated into NdH_2+δ and bcc–(Fe,Co) (0≤x≤0.75) or fcc–Co (x=1), respectively, by milling in hydrogen at enhanced temperatures. Reactive milling leads to the disproportionation of the thermodynamically very stable Nd₂Co₁₄B alloy. This reaction is not possible via the conventional hydrogenation disproportionation desorption and recombination (HDDR) process. Grain sizes of disproportionated and recombined Nd₂(Fe,Co)₁₄B materials were found to be <10 nm and 40–50 nm, respectively — approximately an order of magnitude smaller than those of conventional-HDDR processed alloys. The recombined Nd₂Co₁₄B alloy shows on average slightly smaller grain sizes than the Nd₂Fe₁₄B compound. A more effective exchange coupling leading to enhanced remanences, possibly due to the slightly smaller grain size, has been observed for Nd₂Co₁₄B powders recombined at 600–700°C.     

Improvement of the film thickness by modification of the hydroxymethylbenzene SAM with tetraethoxysilane and octanediol for protection of iron from corrosion in 0.5 M NaCl

For enhancing the protective efficiency, P of a film prepared by modification of a p-hydroxymethylbenzene HOC₆H₄ (HOMB) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) adsorbed on iron by the formation of a covalent bond, an increase in the film thickness, d was attempted. The HOMB SAM was modified with tetraethoxysilane (C₂H₅O)₄Si (TES), 1,8-octanediol HO(CH₂)₈OH (C₈DO), 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (C₂H₅O)₃Si(CH₂)₂Si(OC₂H₅)₃ (BTESE) and alkyltriethoxysilane C_nH_2n+1Si(OC₂H₅)₃ (C_nTES, n = 8 or 18). The P value of the film was determined by polarization measurement of a covered iron electrode in an aerated 0.5 M NaCl solution after immersion in the solution for 1.5–72 h of the immersion time, t. High values of P, more than 82% were obtained for the films of HOMB SAM modified with TES, C₈DO and C_nTES and with TES, C₈DO, BTESE and C_nTES in the range of t up to 72 h. The highest value was 93.2%, for the film of HOMB SAM modified with TES, C₈DO, BTESE and C₁₈TES, of which d was 4.7 nm. The film of HOMB SAM modified with TES, C₈DO and C₈TES was characterized by contact angle measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and FTIR reflection spectroscopy.

通过阳极氧化法在高纯钽片表面制备了钽酸锂复合薄膜,采用浸泡失重法和电化学测试法考察了镀膜前后样品在10% (质量分数) NaOH溶液中的腐蚀行为。利用X射线衍射仪、扫描电子显微镜及能谱仪分别对薄膜的物相组成、表面及截面形貌、膜层厚度进行了测试分析。结果表明,阳极氧化后得到的复合薄膜由钽酸锂和氧化钽组成;该薄膜与基体之间结合良好,厚度约3 μm;镀膜后样品的质量腐蚀速率至少减少了6倍,腐蚀电流密度下降了2个数量级,腐蚀96 h后样品表面没有明显变化。而对比的纯钽样品却发生了严重的腐蚀反应,生成了很多长条状和多棱柱状的腐蚀产物Na₃TaO₄、Na₂Ta₂O₆和Na₈Ta₆O₁₉。     

Fabrication of Bulk (Fe,Cr)_3Al/Al_2O_3 Intermetallic Matrix Nanocomposite Through Mechanical Alloying and Sintering

In the present study,(Fe,Cr)_3Al/20 vol% Al_2O_3 nanocomposite was prepared through mechanochemical reactions during ball milling and successfully bulked using a combination of cold isostatic press and sintering at 1400 ℃ for 1 h. Two processing approaches were utilized to produce(Fe,Cr)_3Al/Al_2O_3 nanocomposite: The first was milling of Fe, Cr,Al and Fe_2O_3, while the second one was milling of Fe, Cr, Al and Cr_2O_3, both in stoichiometric condition, to synthesize(Fe,Cr)_3Al/20 vol% Al_2O_3. Structural changes of powder particles during mechanical alloying were studied by X-ray diffraction. The microstructure and the morphology of powder particles and bulk samples were also studied by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Microstructural analysis showed that mechanochemical reactions took place during milling, and nanometric Al_2O_3 was uniformly distributed in the matrix. The results also showed that the second approach required a considerably higher milling time to produce(Fe,Cr)_3Al/Al_2O_3 nanocomposite, as compared to the first one. For this reason, bulk samples were produced from the synthesized nanocomposite in the first approach. The microstructure of the sintered samples consisted of a network structure of(Fe,Cr)_3Al and Al_2O_3 phases with superior mechanical properties.     

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy and exchange interactions in the novel R3(Fe, V)29 compounds (R = Y, Nd, Sm)

A type of magnetocrystalline anisotropy and exchange interactions of the novel ternary R₃(Fe, V)₂₉ compounds (R = Y, Nd, Sm) have been investigated. The compounds are uniaxial ferromagnets with easy magnetization direction along the [ 0 1] axis of the monoclinic lattice at room temperature. The temperature variations of the magnetic moment and the first anisotropy constant for Y₃(Fe, V)₂₉ are presented. The first order magnetization process along the hard magnetization direction takes place for Sm₃(Fe, V)₂₉ at T < 120 K. A magnetic anomaly is detected in the temperature dependence of the a.c. susceptibility for Nd₃(Fe, V)₂₉ which can be related to a spin reorientation.     

X80管线钢钝化膜在各种高浓度NaHCO3溶液中的电化学行为

采用动电位极化曲线、恒电位极化曲线、电化学阻抗谱(EIS)、Mott-Schottky分析等电化学方法研究了X80管线钢在各种高浓度的NaHCO₃溶液中形成钝化膜的电化学行为。结果表明, X80管线钢钝化膜的稳定性和耐蚀性会受到NaHCO₃溶液浓度的影响。钝化膜电化学性质随HCO₃^-浓度升高而降低;内层Fe₃O₄的厚度不随HCO₃^-浓度变化,推测其形成与成膜电位有关;内外膜层厚度比随HCO₃^-浓度的升高而增大,钝化膜的稳定性和耐蚀性主要受外层γ-Fe₂O₃的影响。根据点缺陷(PDM)理论的分析认为,NaHCO₃溶液浓度升高时钝化膜稳定性和耐蚀性的降低与溶液电导率的升高和HCO₃^-在缺陷点处吸附作用的增强有关。
