Effect of catalyst LaCl3 on hydrogen storage properties of lithium alanate (LiAlH4)

LiAlH₄ doped with LaCl₃ additives were studied by PCT experiment and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Doping with 1 mol% LaCl₃ resulted in a great decrease in the amount of hydrogen release associated with the first and second dehydrogenation steps. Increasing the amount of LaCl₃ from 1 to 6 mol% caused such marked changes in behavior that the total amount of hydrogen release increased first and then decreased. The study on the first rehydrogenation cycle showed that LiAlH₄ doped with 2 mol% LaCl₃ presents the greatest absorption of hydrogen of about 0.8 wt%. The results from XRD spectra analysis indicated the reversibility of Li₃AlH₆.

Ti-20Al-22Nb合金的凝固组织转变及力学行为

采用熔模铸造方法制备了名义成分为Ti-20Al-22Nb(at%)的合金,分别对铸态、热等静压及退火态进行了显微组织及室温拉伸性能分析。结果显示,合金由β基体、针状α2相及少量O相组成的,铸态下为粗大的魏氏组织,由于非平衡凝固,原始晶粒内部组织转变不完全,组织中的疏松缺陷及组织不均匀导致合金低的塑性;经过α2+β/B2两相区热等静压消除了疏松缺陷,原始晶粒内部充分析出细小针状的α2相,组织均匀性提高,合金的拉伸延伸率由2%提高到5%;经过α2+/B2+O三相区退火热处理,过饱和β相向平衡态转变,通过包析转变β/B2+α2→O,在针状α2相周围形成环带状O相,合金的延伸率提高到11%。     

Effect of microstructural parameters on the properties of W-Ni-Fe alloys

The aim of this research was to examine the effect of microstructural parameters on the tensile properties of dif- ferent compositions of tungsten heavy alloys. The microstructural parameters (grain size, connectivity, contiguity, and solid volume fraction) were measured and were found to have a significant effect on the tensile properties of tungsten-based heavy alloys. The microstructural parameters of W-Ni-Fe alloys are sufficiently different to present a range of me- chanical properties. It is concluded that the mechanical properties of tungsten heavy alloys largely depend on the micro- structural parameters and their ductility is particularly harmed when grains are contiguous.     

Effects of oxygen and carbon on the magnetic properties and microstructure of Sm2Co17 permanent magnets

The research on the sintered Sm2Co17 permanent magnets prepared by metal injection molding is still at the exploratory stage. Carbon and oxygen are two key factors that influence the magnetic properties. In this article, the effects of oxygen and carbon on the properties and microstructure of the magnets have been studied. The results indicate that oxygen consumes the effective Sm content of the magnets and forms Sm2O3-the non-magnetism phase, which result in the deterioration of the magnetic properties. Besides, the magnetic properties decrease in evidence with increasing carbon content. The main factor that affects the magnetic properties is the deterioration of the microstructure of the magnets. The Sm（Co, Cu）5 phase decreases, whereas the cell size increases with the increase of the carbon content. When the carbon content is above 0.43 wt.%, the Sm（Co, Cu）5 phase is not enough to form a uniform cellular microstructure. Thus the magnetic properties disappear. ZrC is detected in the magnets by XRD when the carbon content is above 0.21 wt.%. ZrC also reduces the properties of the magnets.     

粉末注射成形Fe-50%Ni软磁合金

Fe-50%Ni合金是一种典型的高磁导率和低矫顽力的软磁材料,有着广阔的应用前景.本次实验以羰基铁粉和羰基镍粉为原料粉末,采用注射成形方法制取Fe-50%Ni软磁合金,研究了高能球磨制备粉末对注射成形工艺以及材料性能的影响.研究结果表明与未经过高能球磨的混合粉末相比,高能球磨改变了原料粉末的粒度和粒度组成,提高了粉末的振实密度,进而提高了装载量.通过显微组织分析得知,高能球磨能使两种粉末发生塑性变形并冷焊合,形成了复合粉,促进了两种成分之间发生扩散和固态反应,同时还增加了粉末颗粒的能量,使颗粒表面活化,促进了烧结,提高了烧结材料的致密度.本实验最终获得了高性能的软磁合金材料磁导率41.27 mH/m,饱和磁感应强度1.498 T,矫顽力7.533 A/m.所得到的软磁材料性能优于相应传统粉末冶金方法获得的材料性能.

Behavior of residual carbon in Sm(Co, Fe, Cu, Zr)z permanent magnets

When sintered Sm(Co, Fe, Cu, Zr)_z permanent magnets are prepared by metal injection molding, some organic binders are added in alloy powder, which leads to much residual carbon in the magnets. The residual carbon decreases magnetic properties and destroys the microstructure of the magnets. In this paper, the behavior of carbon in Sm(Co, Fe, Cu, Zr)_z permanent magnets has been studied. The results indicate that Sm(Co, Fe, Cu, Zr)_z magnets can keep excellent magnetic properties when the carbon content is below 0.1 wt.%: Br ≥ 10 kGs, H_cj ≥ 22 kOe, BH_max ≥ 25 MGOe. When the carbon content is above 0.1 wt.%, Br, H_cj and BH_max decrease with increasing carbon content evidently. Carbon consumes Zr content and forms ZrC, which reduces the volume fraction of the lamella and Sm(Co, Cu)₅ phases. Thus, the cell size increases and the cellular microstructure deteriorates. When the carbon content reaches 0.43 wt.%, there is not enough Sm(Co, Cu)₅ phase to form a uniform cellular microstructure. Br, H_cj and BH_max are approximate to zero. Since carbon has little influence on the content of Sm₂(Co, Fe)₁₇ phase, Ms can keep a high value (≥100 emu/g). ZrC has high melting point (3420 °C) and acts as dispersion particle in the magnets, which prevents the grains of SEM structure growing and reduces the liquid content of green compacts during sintering. Therefore, the density of the magnets decreases.
